To-night the Mary Pickford Company present Jean Webster’s celebrated story and play, “Daddy Long Legs.” The world’s sweetheart ,Mary Pickford, will bo seen in her sweetest role in tho character of Judy Abbott. “Daddy Long Legs” tho picture which Mary Pickford celebrates her advent in her own company, is full of the most delicate and artistic imagery’ throughout. The world’s favourite is seen at her best in two moods, humorous and sentimental, and in this production she creates a de-

liglitfnl character which is the embodiment of these two. Mary has surpassed herself entirely in “Daddy Long Legs,” none of her previous pictures ever gave her the .chance she lias in this, in none of her previous efforts has the exquisite blending of pathos and humour been carried to such a height of artistry. Read Mary’s personal message to you -. —Dear Friends—My cheque for the story “Daddy Long Legs,” is for 40,000 dollars.

GEORGE WALSH AND STINGAREE.

If George Walsh, tho human dynamo star who will he seen in “I’ll Say So” at the Princess Theatre commencing Fri day should ever find tho business of “starring’ dull he could go right out to the nearest corner drug store and find a. good position as a soda clerk. Mr Walsh as the hero in “I’ll Say So,” finds himself stranded in a little Connecticut town and straight away applies for such a job and proves that he is an expert with the syrups and tho fizz. He might have remained at this all the rest of his life, if it had not been for the daughter of the town hanker who had money to burn and was looking for a match.
