MARY PICKFORD.

Frances Hodgson Burnett's great drama, "The Dawn of a To-morrow," featuring Mary Pickford, is to be screened at His Majesty's Theatre on Monday. In this celebrated play, Mary Pickford portrays the wonderful character of Glad, the beautiful ragged girl of the London slums, whose undying optimism and heroic courage even starvation and deadly peril were unable to quench. How the ignorant little slum girl, by her beautiful'faith in the mysterious power she but vaguely comprehends, is enabled to save her lover's life from the gallows, keep a great financier from suicide, bringing him new hope and meaning of life, and awaken his reprobate nephew to a better manhood, are vividly told. It has been said that this drama of human suffering and hope has brought to many a. despairing soul a new inspiration to bear the trials of to-day in the expectancy of to-morrow's dawn.

The box plans for the three nights are available at Allden's book store, and seats may be reserved in advance for any evening.
