, that hangs in Sir Robert Grainger's strange library?
Is he flesh and blood, and responsible for the marauding thefts in the
neighborhood? Is he responsible for Prince Kassim's murder? Or is it
only coincidence that one of the guests at the masked ball happened to
wear the costume of the Red Cavalier?
Miss Locke has been able to weave a weird and absorbing tale of modern
detective romance, the strangeness of India in modern England.
There is Lady Berenice Coningsby, a bit _declasse_; Ethelyn Roydon, more
so; Princess Lona Bardai, "Little Lotus-Blossom," sweet and pathetic;
Mrs. Dalrymple, the woman of mystery; Miss Vandelia Egerton, the
spinster owner of Twin Turrets. There is dashing Max Egerton and the
impeccable Lord Borrowdean; Captain Grenville Coningsby; Prince Kassim
Bardai, with the impenetrable eyes, and Chand Talsdad, his venerable
adviser. Which of them is the Red Cavalier?

Mr. Leigh Mitchell Hodges, The Optimist, in an editorial for the
_Philadelphia North American_, says: "And when, after Pollyanna has gone
away, you get her letter saying she is going to take 'eight steps'
to-morrow--well, I don't know just what you may do, but I know of one
person who buried his face in his hands and shook with the gladdest sort
of sadness and got down on his knees and thanked the Giver of all
gladness for Pollyanna."

While preparing "Pollyanna" for the screen, Miss Pickford said
enthusiastically that it was the best picture she had ever made in her
life, and the success of the picture on the screen has amply justified
her statement. Mary Pickford's interpretation of the beloved little
heroine as shown in the illustrations, adds immeasurably to the
intrinsic charm of this popular story.
