AMUSEMENTS.

'•HIE LOVE JJCHT” TO-NIGHT Mary f’iikford, the world’s sweetheart with all her glorious curls, her smile and cheerful spirit, in a new role —that of an Italian girl in a startling melodrama; '‘The l.ove Light’’—will appear at the I’rim-css Theatre tonight. '' I lie l.ove Light" lias unusual interest owing to the fact that the idea was worked out: while Miss Piekford was on her honeymoon. She met Eranees Marion in Italy, also on her honeymuoii, and the two worked out the story sitting on a high rock overlooking the Adriatic, and it was in Italy that they secured ninny of tile ptoperties and several of Uic players who support Afiss Piekford. The players and propertied were brought till the way from Southern Europe to California. where the Italian settings were minutely reproduced from photographs. Ever since Mary Piekford has had her own producing organisation and could dictate as to the type of photoplay in which she was to appear, she lias adapted the policy of never adhering entirely to one line of pails, not only because she believes that the public like variety, but because she believes that the different lines of characters tend to increase her ability as an artist. A good slippering programme will also he shown and prices are as usual.
