‘sececcccccess TODAY Slam Realism In | Mary Pickford Film Standing at the. old “Five Points,” when‘ that section was notorious as; the crime center of New York City, non-deseript represeniatives and’ members of all the nations and ail races could be seen passing by. On a dingy tenement “set” in the shadow of Hollywood Hills, several thousand miles from the present day | “Five Points” of New York, the; same nations and the same races were represented in the making of Mary Pickford’s new picture, “Little Annie Rooney,” a United Artists Cor- poration release which shows at the| Monroe Theatre today. i Among the 10,000 or more extras of Hollywood, motion picture cen- ter, are all types, all nationalities and all colors. These are carefully listed in the records of casting di- rectors and may be summoned . by telephone at an hour’s notice. They are “camera broke,” know the tricks of make-up and many own extensive wardrobes. ! “Little Annie Rooney” deals with i life—kid life—in the tenement house district of New York’s famous lewer East Side with its teeming population, its thousands upon’ thou- sands who crowd into that section) of the city from all parts of the} world. With but just a few excep- tions the whole picture was pro- duced in Hollywood at the Pickford- Fairbanks studio; the cast is made up from the hordes of film extras there. In the story Little Annie Rooney is the twelve year old daughter of aj popular New York ppaae leader | of a band of rough-and-tumble, alley-! fighting youngsters of “The Block,” and is secretly and wildly infatuated with a hulking truck driver; Joe. Kelly, who is the pal of her big brother, Tim Rooney. Her garb con- ' sists of the cheapest of calico, torn” andj She, spurns | “and much-darned -stockings, down-at-the heel shoes. a hat.

TOMORROW “‘Not So Long Ago” Fine Comedy-Romance of 1850 Betty Bronson, the charming star of “Peter Pan,” and Ricardo Cortez are featured in the principal roles of the Paramount picture, “Not So Long Ago,” which will be shown at the Monroe Theatre tomorrow. Betty is a romantic miss in crino- line skirts and black curls in this produetion, directed by cott, who made “Little Old. New York.” Cortez has the role of an £1850 Beau Brummel. i Laurence Wheat, heading the sup- porting cast, loves Betty but his af-' fection is not returned so he tells Betty’s father about the secret love affair she is having with the son of the rich Ballards. Dad is very bitter. He has no faith in the idle rich be- cause once upon atime he was fleeced of a lot of money. And he certainly needs a jot of it right now. In a few days, the horseless carriage he is working on will be taken away if he can’t meet his debts. Then comes a race that will draw laughs and gasps. Wheat in an old track suit, races the horseless car-| riage down Fifth Avenue. Betty | having quarreled with Cortez and! lost her job, has promised to marry | Wheat if he wins the contest. A great crowd is on hand. First! a false start. At the starting signal, the carriage refuses to move. Then ~-with a splutter and a gasp, it’s off. Near the finish, it seems as though it’s going te win—when the boiler} explodes with a bang. / The money-lender throws his “I 0} U” away in disgust and Cortez res- c it from the gutter, returns it to! Betty’s father and puts himself “in richt” with the girl. Henry Weber, dairyman of Hara- san, La., strangled J. J. Wiliams to death when the latter tried to rob Weber's home.
