The Dawn of a Tomorrow (directed by James Kirkwood and perhaps one of Mary's worst films) magic lantern glass slide made by the Excelsior Illustrating Co. 1915.
As usual with many things at the time, the October 1915 issue The Review had to throw Mary's name into its "The Use of the Slide" article where, while describing the proper use of glass slides, it is noted, ". . . if you are showing a Mary Pickford Exclusive and it gets a great reception (as of course it will do) put a slide on afterwards and say when you've got anotehr one coming, and what it is. It'll get a clap every time and people will go home and talk about i, and that is what you want them to do -- to carry your theatre into their homes."
