BENEFIT Mb " ■ ; FOFSEHioflS ■ HART PICK FORD IN "LITTLE ° LORD FAUNTLEROY" TO BE " SHOWN AT COX'S THEATRE, u MARCH 23 AND 24 ^ In anticipation of a very greatly desired trip to Washington a moving * picture show will be given for the benefit of the Senior Class of *22 of c Gaps May High School. This trip is p looked forward to with much interest " by every Senior and rightfully so, for it would prove a veiry interesting and ® instructive trip. They have planned * to visit such historic places as Mt . Veroon, Washington Monument, the i Capitol, the Congressional Library ^ and many other (daces of interest to ^ every .American citizen. In order to undertake such a trip the 8tt»ore must have help and are 8 asking the help of the citizens of 8 Cape May, who, it is hoped, will j show their interest in the graduating ? class of '22 by extending a helping hand vriien it is most needed- They ® will have the opportunity to display such interest and helpfulness on the , night of March 23 and 24 by attend- ^ ing the movie benefit at Cox's t Theatre, which the Seniors have f booked for raising funds for the trip. . A ' The feature alone is worth the price of admission. It is Mary Pick- | ford's latest and best production, "little Lord Fauntieroy," the pro- c during of which cost Mary Pickford J a much valued tooth. She inadvert- ^ antiy pulled a tooth while making a scene in her new million dollar pic- ^ ture, ."Little Lord Fauntieroy," which wiH be the feature at Cox's Theatre £ March 23 and 24. As Lottie Lord Fauntieroy, Miss Pkkford tied a string to her tooth ! and then attached it to the big knob of a heavy door in the old Dorineourt Qaetle, the idea being to depict the J palling of the tooth for a comedy t scene- Her brother, Jack, was direct-

ing the scene and Alfred E. Green, i who is directing with Jade, was manipulating the door. The action called ' g for the slamming of the door at t 1 given signal. A ciose-up of little _ Lord Fauntieroy was to be shown in which the string would be seen attached to Miss Pickford's tooth, then ' the action was to be switched to the j 11 slamming of the door. At this point ^ of course, it was intended to remove '' the string from Miss Pickford's tooth- Through a misunderstanding 1 of the signals, Green slammed the * door at the wrong moment, actually pulling Miss Ficlrfond's tooth. Charles i ^ Roeher was fortunately cranking the ; c camera at the time, with the result ^ that the scene of the well-known, ! home-made method of extracting a1 tooth wiU be shown most vividly and - realistically on the screen- I* This achievement of the "World's" j Sweetheart" surpasses her ever pre- j 1 vious effort- You will laugh uproar- ' ouslv, and you will cry when you see i "little Lord Pauntleroy." You will p say that it is one. of the greatest, if - not THE greatest, of photoplays ever ^ shown — certainly the greatest cinema Mary Pkkford has ever made. In transcribing Frances Hodgson ( Burnett's famous story to the silver ^ sheet. Miss Pkkford has established her claim \o the title, "Queen of the * Screen," fortihe essence of the book 1 version has been retained and the charm of Little Mary's interpretation pleases beyond measure. In the lexicon of pnaise there are ■ no words comprehensive enough to set forth the glory of this wonder play. Never in her career of superb work has Mary Pickford done any- 1 thing approaching her artistry in this production- The closest she ever came to it was in that masterpiece, "Stella Maris," in which, as in ' "Fkmntleroy," she played a dual role- < Mass Pickford's presentation of the 1 two characters. Dearest, the mother, - and Cedrk Errol (a boy's part), who i later becomes Lord Pauntleroy, sets a mark far tfnngs cinematic. Un- < question*'. l this picture pushes the « film indu try ahead many leagues- 1 In fact, a new goal has been set for t all other producers to strive for. i The story of the "little Lord l Fauntieroy" is too weD known to be < repeated here- Suffice it to say that < the Pkkford adaption adheres very |< closely Jo the Burnett plot, with the 1 result that none who have read the ' book,' will take' offense at the play. What is more, Mary Pkkford is a decidedly boyish Fauntieroy, curls and S|l See "little Lord Fauntieroy" and 1 . the Seniors will see Washington.

all. One actually forgets she is a J girl She proves herself a oonsumate I artist by her splendid interpretation of this role. And her work as Dearest, a superb feminine role, when compared with the boy's part, repre- ^ sents the greatest contrast ever pictured for the screen. The picture is marvelously well cast, proving again the wisdom of this farseeing star. No part has been sacrificed to accentuate the glory of ( Little Mary and, as a result, every 1 characterization is perfect. The impression made by Claude Gilling- ( water as the Earl of Dorineourt, will ^ linger long in the minds of those who j see this play. Other interpretations ( which stand forth are those giverf by ^ Joseph Dowling, as the solicitor; Col- | in Kenny, as the eldest son of the ] Barl, handles a small part in a mas- ( terful way, even to his spectacular ( Those who remember the lov- , able characters, the apple woman, the | and the bootblack, will be I pleased beyond measure with the portrayal of these parts by jC^te. Price, . A, Marcus and Frederick M ' Every other character is ( admirably cast, and executed with . masterful skillTq, Alfred Green and Jack Pickford. . of the star, goes the credit ] of directing this splendid feature. If . this be an example of what twx> directors can do, then let us hope that every picture from now on has a pair of them to guide its destinies- The photography in this production is, in the opinion of the writer, the greatest ever shown. The double exposure work in which Mary Pkkford hands herself a photograph, kisses herself, and performs other seemingly impossible feats, will stand among the greatest of camera achievements and will stamp Charles Rosher as master of his craft. .It is safe to say that this picture will be one of the most successful ever shown at Cox's Palace Theatre. And remember that by seeing this picture you will enjoy yourself tremendously and at the same time help the Seniors get to Washington. "" a
