A suppressed, a now, a rogulah Mary Pickford comes to life in the title role of "Kiki" which opens to- morrow-at-the Queen's Theatre...

Kiki is the type of part Mary Pick- ford has always longed to play. Few people knew it. Only hor most inti- mafe friends were aware of the mis chiovaus bent that urged the star to play the madcap, the harum-scarum rascal personified by Kikl.

Millions remember and love her for the superb performances she gave in

Tess of the Storm Country, "My 1 Best Girls" and the exquisite little girl portrayals in an unbroken chain of success that established "America's Sweetheart."

But with talking pictures, Mary Pickford has undergone a metamor, phosis. She has grown up, She'

à young woman who tooks at thinga from the adult point of view. Her characters live for admiration, coque. try, romance. "Coquetto" was the first of this new series. Iere was the little innocent with the golden curls in an entirely different charac- terization. There was a pertness that was charming. A rogulskness that was quite irresistible, and a flirtatious allure that at once made Miss Pick- ford one of the outstanding romantic figures of the screen.

George Bancroft is rated as one of the biggest box office names in pres Kent-day talkies. He has gained his reputation through his impressive, colourful characterization of he-men roles in such pictures as "Underbolt," "The Mighty The Wolf of Wall Street," and "Derelict."

At his daily grind in his job as managing editor of a tabloid "Scandal Sheet" he is brutal, fierce, humourless and uncompromising. In his home life be is just the opposite- a loving husband, kind and good to his charming wife. But it in the reign of terror ha crentes in his burit neas life which turned her against him.

Kay Francia, who plays the role of Bancroft's wife, is one of the many well-known Broadway stars who have recently achieved fame in the cella- lald. She made her debut in "Gen- tlemen of the Press with Walter Huston over a year ago. She has since added greatly to her prestige in "Dangerous Curves," "Raffier,"
