6 HART PICKFORD.
“Through the Back Door" was written
by Marian Fairfax and was directed by
Alfred E. Green and Jack Pickford,
brother of the star. It is the first fea
ture in which Miss Pickford Kas had
the advantage of two directors. The
stsr also has the advantage of being
supported by a cast of famous screen
players including Wilfred Lucas, who,
at one time was starred by D. W. Grif
k nth; Elinor Fair, whose recent triumph
was opposite .Otis Skinner in “Kismet
John Haftron, brother of the late Robert
Harron, and an actor of more than ordi
nary ability; Adolphe Menjou, rated as
one of the screen’s leading “villains;”
Gertrude Astor, who has been seen in
the leading roles in many feature pro
ductions.
The story opens with the colorful
scenes at the pleasure resort of Ostend
as it was in the gala days of 1903. Then
farm scenes in Belgium are shown where
in are featured the picturesque peasant
costumes, the pastoral scenes and the
quaint architecture that have made this
kingdom famed for its rural beauty. The
scene then shifts to the modern castles
of wealth on Long Island. There also is
a glimpse of New York’s “Great White
Way.” with a peek at one of America’s
*!t> u®g hotels.
In the little girl role Miss Pickford
has a chance to become Involved In In
numerable complications all provocative
of mirth, yet touched with pathos.
In addition to the feature attraction
the Colonial's program also will Include
the usual added reels and a special pro
gram of music by the American Har
monists and Liberty Entertainers.

-BNOWSTORMS GAVE CHANCE
FOR REAL ALASKAN SCJSNES.
The great snowstorms last February,
which stopped traffic on the railroads
and entirely isolated towns like Port
Henry, on Lake Champlain, were a bless-
I ing in disguise. Tills has been one of
. the most severe winters Port Henry has
1 ever experienced, but tlso one of the
I most prosperous. And the reason is the
motion picture.
As soon as Rex Beech heard of the
! ideal conditions at Port Henry for Alas
kan snow scenes, the Goldwyn Company
sent their actors and directors to Lake
| Champlain to take the winter scenes for
the Beach picture entitled, “The North
; Wind's Malice,” which will be shown at
' the Ohio for seven days commencing Sun
day. * /
New York City was ransacked for cos
■ fumes such as are worn in Alaska and
a group of sturdy men was selected to
| portray the part in the story which has
its settting at Hemlock, a small mining
town in Alaska.
All sections of the country are rep
resented in the cast that was assembled
by Goldwyn for “The North Wind's
1 Malice.” Tom Santsehl and Joe King
j were brought East from the actors’ para
i dise of Los Angeles, where Mr. King has
' been since he left his home town of
j Austin, Texas. Tom Santsehl wss born
!in Switzerland. Vera Gordon was born
j In Russia and was engaged by wireless
while returning to New York frpm a
i theatrical engagement in London. Jane
! Thomas, the leading woman, was en
gaged in Chicago. The leading Juvenile,
