In this piny, scheduled to open tomorrow at the Alhanibra theatre sne mis a cnanee to lei her public see her as a mature woman and also us a boy of sevn. Jn tho world of dramatic dra-matic art what could be more diffi-OUltt diffi-OUltt Not only in the same play but in the same scenes, will this atest of all screen artists be seen in these two difficult roles. Through the medium of double exposure, ex-posure, that most baffling of photographic photo-graphic methods, Miss Pickford is able to appear as two different . liiir.icters in the same scene, thus producing the most perect Illusion possible. The Victorian u lessee with their puff-sleeves, bustles and long trains, the ihutehcd houses nnd the magnificent magni-ficent castle shown In this film tend to make it an achievement in plcture-lund plcture-lund And yet who con ever forget the rheumatic old apple-woman, the portly port-ly grocer, and the lovable bootblack, who were such great cronies of Ced-rlc Ced-rlc Errol ? The human Interest and h' arl app- .'1 In 1 In- picture Is said to top anything ever yet translated into celluloid.
