MARY PIcKFoRD IN
 VARIETY OF FILMS


 Mary Pickford apparently believes that modern film audiences like wide variety in their pictures. In the last few years Miss Pickford has made a romance of Spain, story of Old Eng land. and drama of an orphan farm and now in her current vehi- cle. My Best Girl" she uses the mod ern e-and-ten-cent-store as the back ground for a comedy. The picture comes to the Bradley Theatre Sunday and Monday. Miss Pickford secured the best obtainable staff of specialists to build up every possible opportunity for a laugh. Sam Taylor, whose work with Harold Lloyd has made him the most outstanding comedy director of the day, had charge of the megaphone during the filming, and three of the foremost comedy constructors in Hol- lywood, Tim Whelan, Clarence Hen necke and Allen McNeill, exercised their talents to great advantage.
 But comedy alone is not the only un- usual feature of the picture. The ap- peal of an idealistic boy-and-girl TO- nance is utilized. Charles Rogers, the young Famous Players-Laskey sensa- tion, playing the youthful hero. Nota- ble camera effects have been introduced by Charles Kosher, Miss Pickford's for the past ten years, and who spent nearly year in Germany studying technique for use in the film.
