Press stories to be sent out a week ahead and during the showing of ‘‘STELLA MARIS ’
Mary Pickford's next appearance in an Artcraft picture will be in an adaptation fro^ Wm. J. Locke’s novel, "Stella Maris," which will be shown
at the theatre commencing It was prepared for the
screen by Frances Marion and produced by Marshall Neilan, who directed Miss Pickford’s latest success, "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" and "A Little Princess."
The story of Stella Maris gives to Miss Pickford the most t€ rly appealing role in which she has ever appeared on the screen. The A 'craft star for the first time in her career plays a double role, the characters of Stella Maris, who has been a paralytic for ten years, living in a home of wealth, surrounded by every luxury and with the tender and devoted care of the circle of friends who are worshippers at the "Court of Stella Maris," the bedroom where none without smiles are allowed to enter, and where worldwisdom and care has no place ; and that of Unity Blake, a veritable Ugly Duckling, the slave of an orphanage, living on the scraps and dressing in the rags which are given to her in the name of charity.
In this latter role Miss Pickford appears with curls straightened out and hair braided down against a dirty face and over a hunche ’ mlder. This uncouth character forms a remarkable contrast to that of tl eautiful Stella Maris. Miss Pickford’s transition from one character to . 3 other will no doubt be remembered as one of the greatest achievements in her artistic work.
The story revolves around the curing and entrance into the real world of the paralytic, Stella Maris, and the revelation to her, after having been sheltered for years in a world of dreams and ideals, of the actualities of the misery and sorrow in the real life outside.
