AMUSEMENTS.

i'OLLARD 5 8 PICTURES. “DADDY LONG LEGS.” , The long expected great picture “Daddy Long Legs” at the Princess Theatre on Thursday night next, which is Mary Bickford’s very first own production is an attraction with universal appeal. It is filled with children and their doings. Moreover the children are not every day kiddies with parents and homes, but the little charges of an orphan asylum which is sadly mismanaged. The role of Judy Abbott is played by Mary Pickford. She is a twelve year old girl, full of life and fun, dodging the repressive methods of the superintendent of the home to run off and help her companions who are faring ill on the miserable diet and poor care they receive. Among the children supporting the star is the funniest and most freckled boy ever seen in pictures. Mary Pickford is now her own boss, and her business manager is Lpr mother. Moreover, yon have never seen the real Mary Pickford until you have seen “Daddy Long Legs,” her first production from her own stiidios. Mary herself says that “Daddy Long Legs” is her picture, and her opinion is borne out by the opinions of the people who have seen it, and in any case Mary couldn’t afford to say it if it were not tme.
