AT THE DE LUXE

Critics everywhere assert that "PolIjaiina" la one of the greatest pictureplays ever fi'me-d. The reaion fr this Is that the philosophy upon which the story is based constituted a theme which at the prrsont time has an unusually wide appeal. This production w'.il be the feature ai the le Luc Hundey, Monday, Tuesday and Wedneeday. Undoubtedly Mary l'lukford. with characteristic f ar-sl htedness, had this In mind when eh- chotfo this celebrated work as her first vehicle for the, United Artists' corporation. There, Is a rcat craving at tho present time on Ihe tart of the pubf according to best Informed showmen, for somthing more than mere entertainment. Of course, diversion is Always the paramount thing whenever amusement is considered, but at the same time people want something bl and compulltn something that will drive ho: is a few truth w!tho-if preaching a sermon or spoiling the flavor of a show which is meant to entertain. Such a story is "Poilyanna." with Its cheerful philosophy of gladness. It Is believed that this production, com

ing at a time when the country Is upset by . a period of readjustment, will hae an unpre vd nted reception from the picture patrons. M!hs Pickford points out in this itory that even when things are bad they might, be worse. This thought, planted In the minds of people who are dissatisfied with wage conditions, or who think they are not getting ft fair price for their goods, will teii4 t-. stimulate a line of mental activity which will result in stabilizing conditions The most progressive of t:ie picture stars believe in choosing playp. wherever possible, which will act as a propaganda of good. It is their ambition to Irave each screen medium serve a definite purpose, and with this In mind Mary I'lrkford decided to plcuar.4t Kleanor H. Porter's famous book.
