his personal friendship with the New

MARY PICKFORD
HELD OVER in
"SPARROWS'

Mary Pickford's latest picture,
"Sparrows." In which she once
more reverts to the type Of char.
acterization in which she became
famous, is solidiy planted at the
Columbia for second week.
This film was directed by viii
liam Beaudine, who was likewise
responsible for her Little Annie
Rooney" which marked her recog-
ni.son Of the fact that the public
was not ready to have her lrow
up. She is fortunate in having
the assistance OF band of, clever
children. some of the most capable
to find in all moviedom.
Again we see Mary as little
mother" caring for group of
children on baby farm. A black
hearted villain runs the farm, and
kidnapers are after the children.
The little mother" feels that she
must rescue the youngsters rom
the double menace, and she pro-
ceeds to do so by running them
off the farm and through south
ern swamp which, because of It's
quicksands, alligators and other
perils, is next to impossible.
She gets them all out safely,
and the film ends happily. It is
another typical Pickford triumph
the sort of film that makes
thousands OF tourists seek out,
every year, the little brick house
in Toronto where she was born.
The subsidiary features on the
Columbia bill include q funny
"Our Gang" comedy. newsreel,
Topics Of the Day and overture.

plot, and she has more invi-
tations and engagements for
supper than q hungry New York
chorus girl.
Alexei. her lover, commits lese
majesty upon the person OF the
duke. and Is condemned to die.
When lusty George Siegmann, as
Kusmin, the banker, lures the
dancer to his yacht and steams
away, 1t takes the fastest destroy
err in the imperial navy to reach
the yacht in time to save Kusmin
and Olga from utter demolition
by each other.
Action follows action, and the
love scenes between Alexei and
Olga are cIaarmingly realistic.
Olga, as portrayed by Laura La
Plante, becomes q character OF
distinct individuality and fresh
ness. Raymond Keane's Alexei
should enlist the attention of alert
producers. Probably the most 70.
mantle character is that OF the
Grand Duke Sergius. presented by
Pat O'Malley. AS the action takes
place In st. Petersburg in 1913.
some attention has been expended
upon costuming, and the Russian
ballet scenes are extraordinarily
we'll done.
Russian melodies by the Rialto
Concert Orchestra, the Interna-
tional News Reel and q Newlywed
comedy complete the attractions.
