AT THIF TEMPLE.

Julia Dean. the star of The Ran
som" at the Temple theater today,
has TO play a dual role in which her
dramatic ability finds full scope and
free expression At first she is a
young and rather wilful wife. led
astray by the glamor of the stage,
and later she is the aged and re-
pentent mother trying TO save her
own daughter from the wiles of the
same manager who had wrecked her
own life many years before. She
accomplishes this in ii thrilling man
ner and after seeing her child safe
in the arms of the man she loves,
pays the ransom Of her daughters
happiness with her own life. The
pictures of stage life shown on the
screen are a wonderful revelation
and convey a striking lesson to those
who see only the bright side Of the
business.
