SOCIETY GIRL TAKES COAL CHUTE SLIDE AND DUSTS OFF AS “BEST SKOIT” IN ALLEY

Amy Burke, “The Hoodlum,” Gives Mary Pickford Character Part That Is Comedy Classic. Millionaire Alexander Guthrie will have his colossal portion of pride taken down a notch or two when his spitfire granddaughter, Amy Burke, played by Mary Pickford in “The Hoodlum,” gets through with him. This is the second picture produced in Miss Pickford’s ownjstudios and it will be seen beginning Friday, October 10, at the Princess theatre The only person Guthrie is afraid of is Amy, who in turr} is afraid of no one. In this spirit of mind she hurls mahogany chairs at the Guthrie butlers, monkey wrenches at her two chauffeurs, rye bread at the waiters and lip sticks at her maids. From Lady to “Some Skoit. From the foregoing, the character of Amy Burke changes to that of a tenement girl who can speak with a nasal— slang, cock—her hat on the right side of her head and shimmie like a watery portion of gelatine. In the tenements while her father is writing a book on sociology Amy is a constant winner in. crap games but a heavy loser at other things. Among the things she loses are her snobbishness, her silk lingerie, her bad temper, and her heart. Critics have termed “The Hoodlum” by far the best of Miss Pickford’s screen, successes.
