i.nere is no .better tonic for those
who have . been the . victims of bad
luck and who may aa a result be
down-hearted or .even resentful
against fate, than this remarkable"
play. It carries the message"of good
cheer to one . and all, pointing out
that BO. predicament is so bad' but
that it might be worse.
"Play the glad game all through
life," that is the theme of the
story. This philosophy began with
the arrival at Pollyanna s humble
home of a Christmas barrel which
did not contain a single useful article.
rouyaana's father taught the little
girl to apply the "Glad" philosophy
to every circumstance: that arose.
As time went on she became the
Prophet of Gladness, and with all the
sincerity of childhood proselyted
along the' Pathway of Life, winning
many converts to this new religion.
And If you will go to see this
splendid screen play, Pollyanna will
carry her. message to you. When you
leave the theater you will feel re
freshed; you will have a new vigor
arid vim with which to tackle the
problems that It is necessary for you
to work out.
Other pictures on the bill include
The Eternal Triangle and the Pathe
News.
