MARY PICKFORD.

RETURNS TO SCREEN ON FRIDAY

Mary Picklord’s latest picture is due in Shannon on Friday under the title of “Through the Back Door.” It is said to be full of humour and comedy. The story is briefly as follows: Because a servant loved her and because her stepfather made her mother leave her in Belgium, little Jeanne Bodamere faced the problem of winning recognition from the mother who thought her dead. She went to America an immigrant when the World War broke out with only a note and a passport with which to make her identity known. Her mother lived in a palace on Long Island. The child came to it in a de livery waggon. Of course, the circumstances conspired to prevent her telling who she really was. In order to gain entrance to the home that was rightfully hers she had to enfer it through the back door as -a servant. The trials and tribulations she encountered, the heartaches and the plot she found all combine to make a /fascinating and' gripping drama. And the climax that made possible the mother love this little child hungered for will tug hard at the heartstrings of all who see it. “Through the Back Door” shows Mary Pickford at her best—a child role with all the pathos, all the comedy and all the little whimsical touches that have made her famous. BILL HART-TO-MORROW.

In “O’Malley of the Mounteds,” due in Shannon to-morrow and at T'okomaru on Thursday, W. S. Hart has a story that suits him admirably. It is a wild tale of the Canadian frontier, full of thrills and excitement.
