CLEVER CHILD ACTRESS.
BANT PEGGY'S CHARMING PICTURE, Baby Peggy, the pretty little child actreng who has endeared herself to many thousand cinema goers, plays her frst really big part in "The Darling of Now York, the big attraction at the Coronet Theatre this afternoon and to-night The story is one that will appeal to all, young and old alike, for it is rich in pathos, earnedy and thrill. As an orphan child,
Peggy becomes the plaything of fate. After much buffeting about she falls into the hands of some crooks with whom her childish inflanzee has amusing results. Thereafter she becomes the ward of a poor Hebrew with a large family and then a waif of the streets. Finally she is atrapped in a burning building, only to find eventual happiness with her wealthy grandfather. Thanks to the fine skill that has been displayed in making her first really big picture, Baby Peggy will speedily become not simply the Dark- ing of New York, but the darling of the whole world-curtainly of Hongkong.
