WASHINGTON. When the United Artists Corporalion was formed, the aim of the four fctars Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks and D. W. Griffith was to establish a medium through which to convey bigger and finer photoplays to the motion picture public. Under this plan three pictures have already been released two by Douglas Fairbanks and one by D. W. Griffith. Now comes Mary Pickford with "Pollyanna," her first "Big Four" offering.' and the fourth film to be handled by the United Artists Bince the organization's birth, which will be shown at the Washington, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Because this is her first production under the new arrangement of individual release, every effort has been put forth by Miss Pickford to make

"Pollyanna" a bigger and better pic

ture than anything she has ever done before. Work was begun by the little star on September 15 and the production

was not complete until the middle of; December. Neither expense nor time j

"A Tailor-Made Man." It simmers unostentatiously in the fourth act. The play is a striking example of a comedy that lias no dull moments it is jocundly American, bright as a whistle, nip, droll and up-to-date. A large and well-balanced cast is employed in the presentation of the play and the production is on the same substantial scale that marks all the Cohan and Harris contributions to the stage. Harold Vermilye plays the title role. MURRETTE. Katherlne MacDonaid, beautiful star of "The Turning Point," adapted to the screen from Robert W. Chamber's novel of the same name, which will be shown at the Murrette Theatre, will be shown at the Murrette Theatre, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, began her career at the bottom of the ladder.

va3 Email aad she laced her difficulties bravely, frankly and with a great cheerfulness of spirit. It waa not long, however, before Miss MacDonald's great beauty and talent were recognized and her rise in motion pictures has been rapid. The crash in the MacDonaid family's fortune did not come, however, until after she had received her education at Blairsville College, Blairsville. Pa. In the Chambers' story a financial crash leaves Diana Tennant, played by Miss MacDonaid, and the other members of the Tennant family penniless in San Francisco. The same qualities which restored comfort and happiness to the MacDonald family in Pittsburgh arcportrayed by Katherlne MacDonaid in her part of lifting the Tennants out of their trouble. The thread of romance and humor running through this society photoplay combine to make it one of the best in which Miss MacDonaid has been starred. MURRETTE. Remarkable scenic effects have been

secured in the Para mount-Arte raft pic

One of the most spectacular is the banquet hall of Wealth, the part played by Theodore Roberts. It is built in the shape of a dollar mark. One circle of the "S" contains a swimming pool while the other is occupied by a dance floor. On these two stages beautiful girls in the most remarkable costumes of ultra-modern mode disport. For the big theatre scenes in which Everywoman makes her debut, a chorus of extremely pretty girls in unique costumes was employed. The stage was

literally covered with real flowers,

perfect. RICHMOND. David Butler, the juvenile of "The Other Half," at the Richmond Theater today and Sunday, is of the muscular type of athlete and is frequently cast for parts which require lots of "rough- ! stuff". In a recent picture he had to put tip a lively scrap with three thugs.

Mm before the scene was shot and 6f-l fered the following comforting re-' , mark: "Don't vou care. kid. I won't!

jtfburt you any. ' "Watch me, Kid! " and he made a wicked pass at Butler. "I let go wid d' speed, but I draws back widout hitting youse. See!" Butler saw all right, but when it came to the actual scene he swears that the thug must have become too excited to "draw back." RICHMOND. With "Oh, Boy:" Albert Capellani will inaugurate his advent into the ranks of independent producers, "Oh, Boy!" Is the first of a series of special features in which Creighton Hale and June Caprice will be, co-starred nndr Mr. Capellanl's banner. He adapted it from the famous musical comedy hit of he same name which played for nearly two years at the Princess Theatre, New York "Oh, Boy!" will be presented locally at the Richmond Theatre for the last time today. MURRAY. A real hero of the twentieth century 1 rard is the chief figure in "A TailorMade Man," the brilliant American comedy by the late Harry James Smith, which Cohan and Harris will present at the Murray theater next Monday. -The play conies here with the l-restie of a solid year's run in New York City. This new type of hero is John Paul Bart, a young man with socialological views who is employed as a presser in a tailor's establishment. He borrows the dress clothes of a customer, dons them, forces his way into the most exclusive society with all his nerve and the customer's clothes is promptly received by the smiling hostess, also by all the equally pmiling guests, and is later taken into the confidence of a well-known finanWcior. From then on his climb to the top of the ladder of success is rapid and sure. Of course, there is a love story in

A story that flows straight from the great common heart of humanity, an answer to the world-old yearning for sunshine and laughter and gladness, enacted by an artiste at whose bidding the eyes of the multitude dim with the mists of life's shadows or sparkle with the very joy of living. Mary Pickford in "Pollyanna" a gospel of gladness, a miracle of play, if ever therewas one. SOME BITS OF POLLY ANNA'S PHILOSOPHY OF GLADNESS

"Just be glad that's the game." "Most generally there is something that you can be glad about, if you keep hunting long enough to find It." "It's funny how dogs and cats know the insides of folks better than other folks do, isn't it?"

If God took the trouble to tell us 800 times to be glad and rejoice, He must want us to do it some." "There's nothing in a funeral to be glad about, except that we can be glad 'tain't our'n."
