CURRENT PUBLICITY Newspaper shorts to be sent out the second and first day ahead and the day of the showing respectively A treat is in store for moving picture patrons in Vivian Martin's delightfully spontaneous impersonation of "A Petticoat Pilot" in the Paramount picture of that name, at the Theatre, "Mary Gusta" (Vivian Martin) is a quaint ginghamed little figure who steals away the hearts of the three gruff old Cape Cod sea captains who adopt her. The shore scenes and the scenes taken in the prim, dusty, seldomopened "best parlors" are laughable in the extreme and throughout the entire production, the pungent, spicy odor of the salt air seems to furnish a background of wholesome reality. SPECIALLY GOOD CAST FOR VIVIAN MARTIN IN "A PETTICOAT PILOT. " "A Petticoat Pilot," the Paramount picture starring Vivian Martin at the tomorrow, is an adaptation of a well known novel of that name by Joseph C. Lincoln. The story was prepared for the screen by Gardner Hunting, and an excellent supporting cast was secured. For this newest Martin release, Roland Sturgeon was specially engaged as director. Theodore Roberts, known far and wide as "the grand old man of the screen," because of his many and varied impersonations, is prominent in the cast. Harrison Ford, whose youthful good looks and success in "The Fair Barbarian" and others, brought him to fame, plays opposite Miss Martin. Another noted character actor, James Neill, also has a prominent part. Having recently achieved a remarkable success in "The Fair Barbarian," a comedy-drama, Vivian Martin is again appearing in a humorous production at the ..Theatre. This is the Paramount picture, "A Petticoat Pilot," from the story of Joseph C. Lincoln, well known writer who specializes in Cape Cod stories. Miss Martin has succeeded in drawing a marvelous picture of her heroine, from the days of pig tailed gingham to winsome young ladyhood. A charming love story with the son of a defaulting partner of the three old sea captains who adopted her, runs throughout. The fact that the father of her suitor ran away with the wife of one of his partners who was also the sister of another — increased the bitterness of the old men when they learned that she wished to marry his boy. "All's well that ends well," however, and a turn of the wheel of fate brings Mary 'Gusta sudden happiness and a satisfactory end to the film. 13
