The Colleen Bawn

Dion Bouciaults dramas of Irish life
have won a fame that will last as long as
mankind His wonderful knowledge OF
Irish customs and the loving care with
which he created his characters have
made his plays imperishable human
documents. OF these dramas lone has
attained the popularity of "The Colleen
Bawn." which for years has filled every
theatre in which it has been performed:
as a p%hotoplay it has ever exceeded the
popularity of the stage production. Mo-
tion picture patrons will have an oppor-
tunity to see this superb drama when
the Kalem three-part adaptation Ut "The
Colleen Bawn" is shown at the Electric
Theatre on May 26. In producing this
Kalem sent a splendid company of play
ers to Ireland where all the scenes were
staged in authentic locations. This
photoplay will appeal especially to the
sons and daughters of Erin. 1t will take
them back to the lakes of Killarney, to
Muckross Head and to those old thatch.
ed cottages over which the tang of the
peat smoke fingers.
