Dual Role Adds New Brilliancy to Famous Cinema Star
Mary Pickford, the evening star of the iilm firmament, outshines the brilliancy of every past cinema achievement in her newest Artcraft Picture, “Stella Maris,” adapted from William J. Locke’s popular novel by Prances Marion. In this screen play there are two Mary Pickfords, or, to be exact, Mary Pickford in two different characters of extreme contrast. This is the first time that “Our Mary” has ever experienced the feeling of co-starring with herself, and that she enjoys the novelty is evident.
In the part of Stella Maris Mary appears as we know her best — a beautiful child with long curls and pretty frocks. Living in a home of wealth, surrounded by every luxury and with the tender care of a circle of friends wno worship her, the character is similar to those which have disclosed her best efforts in the past.
Jnity Blake, however, is a part which shows Mary as we have never seen her before. With curls straightened out and hair braided down against a dirty face and over a hunched shoulder, the unattrac
tive Unity, slave of an orphanage, is as different from pretty Stella as the cactus is unlike the roise. Although of two entirel.7 different worlds, the lives of Stella and Unity become closely linked in the course of the story, a narrative of sublime pathos and charm which lends itself well to the rare talents of “America’s Sweetheart.” The production of “Stella Maris” was in the hands of Marshall Neilan, the youthful director whose artistic presentation of recent Mary Pickford photoplays had much to do with their success.
