MUD PIES FOR POWDER PUFFS IS THIS SOCIETY GIRL’S LOT WHEN SHE JOINS “THE OTHER HALF”

Mary Pickford in “The Hoodlum’’ Has Role Which Gives Her Widley Contrasting Situations for Comedy and Drama. 'Society girls who take life as one continual round of automobiles, parties and expensive frocks may get some new ideas of how to lavish wealth if they will see “The Hoodlum,” starring Mary Pickford, produced by her and which will be seen Oct. 10 and 11 at the Princess theater. Rich Girl—Poor Girl As Amy Burke, Miss Pickfora depicts the part of a girl whose chief life problem is how to spend money. Amy’s day begins with a lesson from a high-priced tutor who is awed by her vast wealth and consequently quite indifferent as to her education. 'Her other diversion is a high-priced roadster which she pilots around with the speed of a race track marvel. Her wealthy but unscrupulous grandfather- has also employed a groom who accompanies her on all auto excursions and whose advice she does not heed. All of this luxury suddenly tydes away showing Amy as a tenement girl whose real character is brought out when her devoted but poor father returns to town after a long absence. She prefers to live in a tenement with her father than to continue living at her grandfather’s house without him. How a discovery made by Amy while living to the tenements aids her in restoring to respectability a man whom she loves and whom her grandfather had unjustly sent to the penitentiary makes a pleasing and interesting ending 'to this second of Miss Pickford’s releases under the banner of First National. —Advt.
