HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. MARY PICKFORD AS "RAGS." Possessing rare charm, a magnetic personality, beauty, and undoubted talent, Miss Pickford is undisputedly the foremost in her profession to-day. It is said that "Rags," the 15000 ft. Famous Players' feature film, which will be screened at His .Majesty's Theatre to-night is particularly suitable, and reveals Miss Pickford's remarkable versatility and talent to a marked degree. In the prologue Mary Pickford portrays the part of the village beauty, much sought after, but making an unhappy choice. Misery, poverty and imhappiness follow till the saddened little woman dies, after giving birth to a baby girl. The story moves on sixteen years, and the baby girl has grown to an uproarious little ruffian, more boy than girl, who is the terror of the town, a very demon rf mischief and devilment, but with a loyal loving heart, who rescues stray dogs and protects her drunken father with e"jual fierceness. Perhaps only a Mary Pickford could [day the parts convincingly.
