Of tho famous novel by George Du
Maurier last night to the screen at
the Coliseum and that character as
portrayed by Wallace Reid could not
Jyave been bettor
■*the romantic appeal is tremendous,
but It Is of such high order, its tone
•so lofty, that it miy prove too much
for tho average unimaginative audi
ence.
Wallace Reid In the romantic char
acter showed he could play other
characters than comedy.
George Fawcett, although he has
a lesser part, portrays Major Du
quesnois with a fine appreciation for
the needs of the role and some of
his work 1s even bettor than that of
the principals. Elsie Ferguson is,
tike Wallace Reid, oast in an entirely
different role from those of her usual
productions. She is very clever, how

tin his pajt elf this movie feature.

“LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY”
A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT
There came to tho Palace last
night for a three days’ run. a photo
play that left a profound Impression
on the audience. It was Mary Pick
ford's “Little Lord Fauntleroy," the
niost appealing and at the same time
ono Of tho most perfect photoplays
over to pass through a projecting ma
chine. The mingled laughter and
tears, accentuated by resounding ap
plause, acclaimed “America's Sweet
heart” goddess supreme of the cine
nia art. Her interpretation of the
roles of Dearest and Little Lord
Fauntleroy will probably never be
approached by anyone in the picture
realm. Tho fine artistry, the delicite
shading, the conviction hrougbt to
those widely different parts by Mary
Pickford, represents the greatest
achievement of all time in the shadow
world. Tho motion picture Industry
Can well express its thank3 to this
Wonder woman for bringing to its
highest development, the art or pic
ture making.
The wizardry of tho lens has l-wt
a wondrous charm to both exterior
and Interior, and Charles Rosher, the
photographer, has /femonstrated that
nothing ils impossible for the niotior
picture camera. The double exposure
feats, wherein Miss Pichford as Dear
est walks with and talks to Miss
Pickford as Fauniicroy. are astound
ing.
The appeal of tho story as written
by Francos Hodgson Burnett has
been accentuated and heightened In
tltc filming by the one and only Mary.
Sho Isas endowed each episode with
tho wealth of her genius, ami the
spectator actually lives 'in tho era
depicted by the play.
Manager Spickett announces that
there will be a tmoclal matinee to
morrow afternoon as ho believes the
children will want to sco Mary Pick
ford In this production.
DOROTHY DALTON IS
AT COLISEUM SUNDAY».
■Dorothy Dalton in “The Woman
'Who Walked Alone," Will be the well
known featured s*ar at the Colispum
opening Sunday night. .This produc
tioa is a Paramount, well staged and
wlith a large list of screen favorites
In the various characters
“JUNGLE ADVENTURES”
AT PALACE SUNDAY
The South Soas would seemingly
bo a sort of heaven to the hard
working male citizen, for there tho
women do all the work. This land
of more than equal rights for women
is disclosed in Martin Johnson's
“Jungle Adventures,” coming to the
Palace for two days beginning Sun
day matinee.
Tho Johnsona' “Jungle Adventures"
takes an audience into the interior
of British North Borneo. Even in
the largo sea-coast towns, the Malay
coolie labor is done by women. The
junks, bearing their cargoes of teak
and camphor wood, are loaded by
women. Even the menial labor with
pick and shovel is done by the
feminine Malay.
All other features are interesting.
BALKS DIALECT
ENGLISH PLAN
MANILA, P. I . March 2"..—Vice
Governor E. A. Gilmore, who is ex
officio secretary of public instruction
of the Philippines, is opposed to the
plan proposed in a bill introduced in
the Legislature, to teach English In
the public schools by the use of a
Philippine diailect or through an in
direct method. In a statement pre
sented to the iSenate committee of
public instruction which is holding
hearings on the bill, Vice-Governor
Gilmore says to change the direct
mothed of teaching to an indirect
method now would he to lose a great
deal of the progress already made.
“With regard to the bi-lingual me
thod, I have carefully considered all
the material bearing on the sub
ject and regard it as .podagoglcally
unsound, especially in the Philip
pines." he said. “Its adoption would
not improve the instruction in Eng
lish, but, on the contrary, would pro
duce a very confused and unsatisfac
tory condition in the schools. The
Indlirect or translation method of
teaching.a foreign language is highly
impracticable, especially in the Phil
lpplne3 where there is such a large
number ct dialects, many of which
do not h3vo a vocabulary commensur
ate with tha foreign tongue being
taught. From personal experience in
learning a foreign language and from
observations of teaching foreign lan
guages to othefs. I am convinced that
iha most rapid and effective method
is the direct one.
“During my stay in the Philippines
1 have been in 43 ■ out of the 49
provinces and have vistited hundreds
tff schools. In these schools I have
;'l>aid particular attention to the
| teaching of English. A9 a result of
| my observation, I say, without hesi
tation, that It is remarkable the ex
tent to which English is used
hroughout the islands and the facil
ity which the school children display
i in expressing themselves in this
'tongue; and all this lias been ac
complished In a little mere than 20
years. The people arc acquiring a
common .tongue. Even though It may
not be perfect, idiomatic English,
! weN pronounced, 4t is English which
jls generally understood and affords a
: common medium of communication.’’
For Sale Signs Are

i BERKELEY-, Cal., March 23—The
!Realty Board of .thin city has voted
: unanimously to take down all “for

ment to the real estate profession
