?'1 lit* Sins of the .Mothers." with Anita
Stewart and Knr.lc Williams In the
principal roles. The story is of a girl
with a hereditary mania for Rambling.
From school she runs the gamut
first, the bridge tables, then the races,
and. finally, to a gambling house foi
merly kept by her own mother. It
doesn't sound very pretty, but it will i
almost certainly be thrilling enough. !

Following her interesting perform- 1
anco In "Tiie Dawn of a To-Morrow,"
Mary IMckford, t lie favorite star of
the Paramount pictures, will next bo
seen In "Little Pal" at the Little ;
Theater on Monday. Tuesday and Wed- '
nesda.v. The photoplay was woven ]
about tho star, and is said to present j
a strong story ?>j' primitive emotions!
and passions, evidencing a hitherto un
suspected aspect of Mary Picltford's
versatillt y.
For tiie purpose of this production
she dons a dark win, wears a costume
that makes her appear more diminutive |
than ever, and assumes tho stolid re- j
serve of an Indian, "i.ittle Pal" is not ?
a full-blooded Indian, but a half-breed, 1
living in Alaska among gold-crazed
nten. S!n> seldom smiles, and there is
no place for girlish coquetries in draw
ing the drab, unhappy child the
far north. It will surel\ be interesting
to see Mary Pickford step so complete
ly out of iter own personality.
The Little Theater presents on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday Maud '
Allan, the celebrated dansouso, famed I
for her interpretation of "Anitra's |
Dance," from C!rieg*s "Peer "S.vnt '
Suite." the "Moonlight Sonata" of
I!e<-tliovcn, the "Spring Song" of Men
