"POLLY OF THE CIRCUS."
That fascinating little celebrity, Mae ; Marsh, is the star of the great Goldwyn production, "Polly of the Circus," to be screened to-morrow night. This is a tremendous spectacle, with a beautiful j story running through it. Probably no film can command such a wide range of appeal, since it will be as delightful to children on account of the actual circus displays which its reproduces as it will be fascinating to adults by reason of the compelling heart-interest and thrilling episodes. The whole production is on a gorgeous scale, and is an example of perfect photography. One of the most amazing scenes is the burning of the big circus tent and the stampede of the audience, while the racecourse scene where Polly in a thrilling race rides the winning horse holds the audi--1 enee breathless. Mae Marsh is a most lovable heroine in this great drama, and more than lives up to the reputation she made in "The Birth of a Nation" and i "Intolerance."
TJie rise of Mae Marsh to her present position in" tho screen world has been meteoric. Only twenty years of age, she counts her admirers by the million, and the number will be further increased by her appearance in the marvellous Goldwyn picture, "Polly of the Circus."
