FROM FLUNKIED LUXURY TO CHIEF OF ALLEY GANG IS RICH GIRL’S COMEDY FALL.

Steering a high-powered sport, automobile down Riverside Drive is vastly different and not near as much fun as shoving *a push cart down a tenement street, so Amy Burke, played by Mary Pickford, discovers in “The Hoodlum,” the second production produced in her own studios, which will be seen tonight at the Princess theatre. Landing on sordid Creighen street as a snob, Amy Burke is converted into a star crap-shooter, a nimblefingpred potato jpeeler,- the—official style setter for the tough gHfcanft: the most kindly and humanitarian person in the tenements^ From his Fifth Avenue estate Amy’s -grandfather watches his favorite with acute curiosity. He is more surprised to discover one night that Amy and a tenement friend'are in the act of cracking his safe. Replete with novel comedy situations, and softened by the romance of Amy and a tenement “towel thief,” “The Hqodlum” is one of the most interesting and funniest of attractions.
