WORLD’S PICTURES
"SONNY” To whtit extent a blind person can identify people who form part of the daily association is the problem brought up in “Sonny,” Richard Barthclmes.s ’ production for the First National picture, will be seen to-night. Joe Peters, the character taken by the star in "Sonny,” is a returned war veteran who, to fulfil a pledge made to his dying comrade, takes the latter’s place at the side of his blind mother. Unusual complications develop, and the seemingly easy task of making a lonely soul happy becomes fraught with obstacles and danger. How the heartrending situation is solved in a manner that brings happiness all round is told in a manner of simple charm in which the strongest appeal is made by tho unaffected delineation given by Barthelmess to the leading character.
