The rea- son for- this is that the philosophy upon which the story is based consi- tuted a theme which at the present time has an unusually widé appeal. This production will be the feature at the Rex theatre on Saturday, Sun- day and Monday. : Undoubtedly Mary Pickford, with characteristic far-sightedness, had this in mind when, she chose this celebrated work as her first vehicle for the United Artists’ Corporation. There is a great craving at the present time on the part of the pub- - lie, according to best informed show- men, for something more than mere entertainment. Of course, diversion is always the paramount thing when- ever amusement is considered, but at the same time people want something big and compelling—something. that will drive home a few truths without preaching a sermon or spoiling the flavor of a show which is meant to entertain. 2 Such a story is “Pollyanna,” with its cheerful philosophy of gladness. It ds believed that this proddction, coming at a time when the country is upset by a period of readjustment, will have an unpreceden§d reception from the picture patrons. Miss Pickford points out in this story that even when thimgs are bad they might be worse. This thought, planted in.the minds of people who are diesatisfied with wage conditions, or who think they are not getting a fair price for their goods, will tend to stimulate a lien of mental activity which will result in stabilizing con- ditions. The mgst progressive of the pic- ture stars believe in choosing plays, wherever possible, which will act as a propaganda of good. It is ‘their ambition to have each screen medium gerve a definite purpose, and with this in mind Mary Pickford decided to picturize FEleanor H. Porter’s famous book. So ‘“Pollyanna’ 'is a picture with- a miseion. 1d1-20 Te each day give an interesting and complete review of the city’s social activities is our desire. sonal mention, social items and news briefs and we solicit your co-operation in its maintenance.

Government Newspaper. * It is not generally known that In case the recent railwaymen's dispute in Great Britain had developed into a general strike, and the public had been unable to obtain its customary news- papers, arrangements had been made for the production of a government daily. It was to contain no editorial views whatever, but simply a record of what was happening at home and abroad. Five million coples would have been eirculated by a squadron of 150 aero- planes. The government's idea was that the dangers of a general strike would be enormously enhanced if the general public dld not know what was going on.
