The picture- ; is ; entitled "The Pride of the Clan," and features Mary Pickford in the leading This production was made by Maurice Tourneur, noted French producer and artist He is a master of artistio detail, and in this production he has shown effects and a' finesse that are without an equal As the little Scotch, lassie, and head of the MacTavis£ clan the part gives Miss Mary Pickford numberless opportunities for registering all the different emotions of which she is capable, making Marget; ah irresistible character. The scenic effects in this picture are truly magnificent, taken as they were from Marblehead, one of the rockiest bits of! coast along the eastern shores of America.
