Famous   Star  Seen As  Impish  Hoy.
den and Tender "Little Mother"
in New Film.
Mary Pickftard. who has made a
score of screen masterpieces and
brought pleasure to millions, has, just
completed a picture which is said by
many critics to be the best of her career.
The picture is  "Sparrows," and it
comes to the Liberty theatre Saturday and Sunday.
The inole of Mama Mollie offers to
Mary Pickford a splendid -opportunity.
At times she is an impish, mischievous little hoyden, and'yet again the
tender smother heart yearning oyer
the sorirows of the babies and comforting them with stolen dreams and
magic kisses.
There is no fine raiment for "The
World's Sweetheart" in this picture,
no gorgeous; costumes nor fairy princes. Quainter than Annie Rooney,
sweeter than ever, until the very end
tern, bare-legged, ragged, but radianf.
There is not a dull moment in the
story, and the picture is brimming
with comedy. It has punch and thrills
and suspense—everything a successful
picture needs, and in addition it has
Mary Pickford.
