EARLE—“Saturday’s Children.” Saturday’s Children,” Corinne Grif- fith's late First National picture, which is announced for the Earle Theater next week, beginning with the Priday | midnight premiere this week, is said to be a distinct contrast to “The Divine Lady” and to “Outcast.” s The role of Bobby Halvey in “Satur- day's Children” i3 described as an in- timate study of & twentieth century king girl of the native middle class, who has ultra-modern ideas on the sub- ject of matrimony. Bobby determines to convert her husband into a lover, and her manner of bringing about this re- lationship forms an unusual story quite apart from the common run of pictures. This play by Maxwell Anderson, au- thor of “Outside Looking In.” ‘“The White Desert” and co-author of “What Price Glory?” was first produced at the Booth Theater, New York, in 1927. It won the Pulitzer prize as the best play of the season. COLUMBIA.—"Coquette.” Mary Pickford in her first talking picture, “Couquette,” will be the feature screen attraction at Loew’s Columbia starting Saturday.

One day she meets a man from a different world, a young mountaineer who is more serious. Michael Jaffery, the man, loves Norma, but refuses to play her game of insincerity. Suddenly Norma, played by Mary Pickford, realizes that she loves this man, but her father, a gentleman of the old school, forbids her to see Michael. After several months in the mountains where he has retired to earn money Michael comes back to catch a glimpse of Norma. A friend discovers him hiding and sends Norma to him. She persuades him to take her to his mother’s cabin, and on leaving here they are seen. Michael goes to Norma's father asking permis- sion to marry the girl. The father re- fuses and then in anger shoots Michael. The father is placed on trial and Norma_sacrifices_the memory of her reat love for Michael to.save her ather. Metro Movietone scts, the M. G. M.
