There is just as much character in
moving pictures as in personality. You
cannot hide it. 1t is irrepressible. 1t is
this sterling characteristic real merit
that has made Lyman H. Howe's life
Drama the most successful amusement
institution in America today. Acting on
the conviction that the public has been
surfeited and bored by senseless and in
differently projected pictures with no set
purpose, Mr.. Howe has given his life
Drama character all its own. Believing
the public wants an entertainment of an
elevating character, he has supplied it.
In the new program, more than ever, he
gives his audience scenes which not one
in thousand has ever seen before. 1t

sations. 1t will be presented in Music
Hall on Thursday evening, March 2S.
