One of the best three-reel Lub1n
features that has been seen at the Co
1onial is on the programme for today.
1t is entitled The Regenerattng Love
and has to do with a young lad whose
father has become separated from his
mother and, firing of the father s
irascible temper, the boy leaves to bat
tie with the world alone. He meets a
man and woman, members Of a vaude-
vile team. and they, learning that the
boys father has just died. leaving to
him large estate they get him drunk
and keep him SO until the male mem
Der of the team goes to the former
home of the lad and impersonates the
heir. While there he fails in love with
the boys sister, but he has already
said he was her brother. and SO matters
become more and more complicated
until the false heir goes to the real
one and tells of his duplicity. The re-
generation Of the vaudeville pair Is ef-
fected and the lad comes into his own
and brings his strange friends to a
new and permanent home. Wallie Van
is seen in wonderful comedy entitled
The Chiefs Goat, and Bryant Wash
