MARY PICKFORD in'Coquette” Mary Pickford has renounced her curls and little girl pout and appears as a roguish, cap¬ tivating young modern in "Coquette,” her sensational 100% talking picture which comes to the...theatre The foremost little lady of the screen has outgrown the film childhood during which she delighted millions in "Little Annie Rooney,” "Tess of the Storm Country” and countless other unforgettable masterpieces. Realizing that in this inventive age, with its new conventions and high-paced activi¬ ties, there was no place for the make-believe child she had created, Mary Pickford has de¬ cided to begin a new career as the woman she really is. "Coquette” is the first vehicle of the new Mary Pickford. The famous actress who made her stage bow with David Belasco, you will hear and see as a laughing, carefree southern belle who flirted, kissed and forgot, until there came a man she couldn’t forget— HER man. You’ll be thrilled, amused, fascinated and charmed by this romantic drama pivoting about the daughter of a proud, old Southern family and her rugged mountaineer lover. In "Coquette” the clash of the high-born vs. low, father vs. lover, convention vs. love, wealth vs. worth, results in a tale of great conflicts and smashing drama. "Coquette” presents Mary Pickford in her first speaking part in the films and the greatest role of her career. 20 —Two Col. Ad (Mat lOr.; Cut 50r.) 21 —Two Col. Ad (Mat 10r.; Cut 5Or.)
