MONTANA TOWN, SIXTY MILES FROM RAILROAD, HAS TWO FILM HOUSES

Story Has Patriotic Touch and Deals with Yankee Girl's Dangers in War Zone; Cecil B. De Mille Directed Production
Mary Pickford has just completed at the Lasky studios in Hollywood, Cal., her newest dramatic production, entitled "The Little American," which will be published by Artcraft July 2.
The story has a patriotic touch and deals with war. Captain I. H. Beith, author of "The First 100,000," and a British army officer, was among those who proved invaluable to Director Cecil B. De Mille, who handled the production.
As Angela Moore, the little American girl who braves the dangers of the war zone, Mary Pickford appears in a part that demands much fine act
ing, it is said. Among the spectacular' scenes in which she appears arc those depicting the sinking of the "Veri-I tania" in mid-ocean.
Although the story deals with the) war, it is not of the same type as the ordinary war drama, as it deals more with the intimate than with the gen-1 cral. The picture should strike a rtm sponsive chord, as it will be in time for July 4 presentation. In keeping with the work of the star is a cast in-1 eluding Hobart Bosworth, Jack Holt, James Neill, Raymond Hatton, Guy Oliver, Edythe Chapman, Lillian Leighton, Walter Long, Dewitt Jennings and Little Bert Alexander.
