As the prim and unsophisticated reincarnation of our grandmothers, and, later, as the centre of attraction in the modern world of. society, with all the pomp and luxuries of the elite of today, Mary Pickford achieves an unusual double triumph. In the course of the pro- duction, Glenn Martin, the world-famous aviator, makes his first appearance in motion pictures and Mary Pickford takes her TO-DAY BISMARCK Matinee—3 p. m.
