MARY PICKFORD AT
EMPRESS SUNDAY
•>—
Mary Pickford in a star production
will be the feature at The Empress to
morrow night. In addition there will
be a Hearst-Pathe weekly.
Of all the great dramatic successes
of Frances Hodgson Burnett, “Esme
ralda” is the most tender and lovable
characterization ever created by this
gifted author. As “Esmeralda” Mary
Pickford renders one of the most sym
pathetic and touching screen imper
sonations of the year. The strong at
tachment for home, “be it ever so
humble,” which this appealing drama
extols, the simple but great love which
it unfolds, and its dominant human
note, have made its success on the
stage endure for two generations. As
a photoplay, “Esmeralda” is a faith
ful presntation of the beautiful and no
ble sentiments of the beloved play, in
which Mary Pickford, assisted by an
unusually strong supporting cast at
tains another remarkable triumph.
