The Regeneration of Aunt Mary Furnishes Stock Company

Mary, as she pockets the ribbons from
the BOXES OF candy the boys have pre-
scented TO her. "Ill just keep these for
my cat. He loses so many ribbons 60
ing out nights" :.
the boards at the Academy the com
ing week and VIII bring JOY to the
hearts Of all who see her. THE Re

play that excites his risibilities rather
than his lacrymal duets. In The Re-
juvenation of Aunt Mary" he Will find
laughter and merriment In abundance,
Lucille La Verne will appear at her
best. IT Ia safe to predict that she
will appear to better advantage as
Aunt Mary" than In any other role
she has ever assumed here. Miss La
Verne is versatile and is excellent In
every part she plays, but Aunt Mary
is peculiarly suited to her, IT is tho
type of part In which she has won her
greatest success in New York and
abroad. In appreciation of Miss La
verne's m~agnaninity in stepping aside
for other stars and actresses this sea-
son and in sincere admiration of her
ability. the public has demanded and
will have her next week In a star role,
and the best comedy role she could
possibly have chosen.
The main thread of the story Is ot
Aunt Mary's first visit 10 New York
in many years and the entertainment
given her by her rather wild nephew
and his college chuns, which results
in her regeneration and in dispellins

Bijou All This Week.

Is only enc OF the many notably
ing and instructive picture pageant
at Bijou theater this week. Endless
negatives were spoiled before a sat
~isfactory one passed the inspection OF
the Cines company censor In Rome.
Incidentally. and apart from the
Hercuiian task Of constructing this
mamnaouth scene, the efforts of the
management to engage men, women
and children to take part in It were
well nigh fruitless.
In the first place the manageries
81 all Europe were called upon to
furnish the fercest animals they
could muster. and when 1t became
known in the moving picture world
Of Rome hat a hundred Of these had
been secured there was Il general
stampede among the big colony Of
actors to get as far away from the
den in which the animals were con-
fined. as possible.
All sorts Of arguments were offered
10 allav their fears. These were sup
plemented with big salary advance
ments and ~indemnities in case of
casualties, but the eXcitahIe actors in
their fluent Latin tongues would not
: agree TO jeopardizing their lives un-
til the monetary offerings were de-
posted IN a bank 10 their credit and
life insurance policies issued. Also
they insisted that the force of ex-
pert animal trainers employed to
handle the ferocious beasts should be
trehlcd, and that loopholes in tho
parapet surrounding the enclosure
should he bored every few feet. and
be manned by expert sharp shooters.
Even these elaborate precautions
did not entirely avail, as was evil
