POLLY OF THE CIRCUS"

Mae Marsh In "Polly
of the
Circus Goldwyn Dictures
You have SEED "THE AUCTION BLOCK," *THAIS" and "DODGING A MILLION," so you know what the name GOLDWYN," means on a picture:
You have not yet forgotten the wonderful acting of Mae Marsh, who takes the part of Polly, as
the heroine of "INTOLERANCE":
The story, a panorama of love, racing and circus life, with the petty meannessés of a small country village as a background, had a most successful career as a stage play, charming both New
York and London.
Some pictures appeal to but one class of the community alone; others, maybe, to all but that class; the appeal of “POLLY OF THE CIRCUS" is universal.
