Jack Pickford in the Paramount. “Tom

Jack Pickford as Mark Twain's inl~
mortal “Tom Sawyer." in a Paramount
photoplay of that name, is to appear
at the Regent Theatre Oil Friday. This I
is the latest oi a loner line of excl-p
tionally successful young boy roles in‘

is noted for his artistic technique.
Nude. figures are shown in the pro-
kiuotion which is being exhibited at
{the Regent Theatre, and of these Mr.
,Totlrneur says: i
“Nudity in itself is not objection-V
able unless It is used as a means to
attract an unhealthy mind. 'Nude fig-
ures in "The [Blue Bird‘ are presanted
in such a manner that they will be
viewed with reverenCe rather than ex-
cite thoughts of Immodesty.
“An absolutely nude figure symboliz-
lng innooonce and purity.or creatures
of the great hereafter. can by no
stretch of imagination be compared
to too much exposure of the clothed
body for a sinister purpose. The air
peat is entirely different. in the one
there. [being no shadow, of sexuality.
and in the other the thought being
entirely suggestive. In making the
production I kept in mind the Ideal-
ism of the. author and endeavored to
picturlze his thoughts."

taken ontthe Mexican border during a
time when trouble was brewing. and
close watch was kept on the hundred
Mexicans'wllo were engaged to take
part in the photoplay. One of the Mex-
icans was suspected 15f trying to start
an uprising and was shot and ‘wound‘
ed by) a Fairbanks cow boy who hail-
pened to be an Arizona deputyshertn’.‘
The matter was taken into court.‘
where itewas held that the cow boy
was justified- in his action, as his
promptness in squelching the Mexican
had averted a possible riot. However.
this incident cost Fairbanks .3500 for
attorney and doctor fees.
“Headin‘ South" is full of Mexican
and Western types, who supply the.
local color to the vivid border episodes.

There are few more important rules

per cent. of the children's mistakes;
to notice only the significant points,
