She had been suffering from a ling- ering illness for some time. Miss Pickford was at the bedside of her mother at the latter’s Beverly Hills home when she died. A can- cerous growth was reported to havo been the cause of her death. She was 55 years old. Mrs. Pickford, whose name forms erly was Charlotte Smith, was tha mother of three motion picture stars —Mary, Lottie and Jack Pickford. The latter also became widely known in vaudeville. A sister and two nieces also survive.
