"Little America" Big
Hit in Rochester, N. Y.
So large were the crowds drawn to
the Regent Theatre in Rochester, X
Y., by Mary'Plckford in "The Little
American," that all of the other down,
town houses iu the city profited in
directly. The crowds wore of record
breaking size, especially iu the even
ings, and hundreds had to be turned
away. Rather than return home with
out seeing any kind of a show many
of them went to other picture theatres'
nearby, which thus received unusual
ly generous patronage.
Although "The Little American" ran
for an eutlre week, the theatre was
entirely unable to accommodate alJ
who wished to see the picture. The
management finally succeeded in hold
ing it over for an additional three
days, thereby breaking a record. It
wbs the first time that a Mary Pick
ford picture iu Rochester had been
held over for more tliau a week in n
continuous engagement Taken from
Trade Review.
The above big production will be
shown at the Orpheum, Saturday, July

with various brauches of the war ser
vice, with the recruiting under Lord
Duby's scheme and. later came to
America where he has been busy work
lug on the munition contracts placed
by the British Government
Mr. Nichols is au author, having
wiitten several successful plays, and
h; description of life iu the trenches,
under the title of "The Human Side of
Trench Life" is extremely lllumluatlug
and brings to us the atmosphoro of the
trenches. He tells of that life as it
really is nud not as It is popularly
thought to be He has no use foi
"heroics," nor does he believe iu dwell
ing on the honois and dangers of war.
These thimjs seem only to have ripen
ed the "Tommy's" inimitable humor
He finds interest aud humor in the
small things of which one never hqnrs
aud CHiinot hear except from such a
m-iu as this who has had the actual ex
perience thru many weary mouths

picture, behind everyone ot which
is a good story.
Mr. Nichols has lectured in New
