PICTURE OF THE

Added to the lar
 Alcazar Program,

Mothers and relatives of the boys in the famous Rainbow Division" are given a chance to see their boys in camp al Mineola, N. |. Gong Island), in the Universal Special, which will be shown as an added attraction at the Alcazar four days, beginning today. This Is not merely panoramic view of soldiers, with thousands of our boys massed together. but 8 clear cut. close up series of pictures that is nothing less than a pictorial record of the pre- sonalities included in the Alabama regiments now in the Rainbow Diyi- sion" The relatives of the men ap- bearing in the film will be enabled to pick out their boys readily. Every face shown is said to be so clear cut that Identification will be mediate. Stress is also laid upon the fact that these pictures are not hastily gathered pam oramas, but real documents affording the nerest approach possible to a per- sonal interview with the boys in camp.

ANOTHER O MINE" PASSES THE TIES T

In it's review of the play the Exhibi- tors Trade Review says: Mother O Mine" is a feature peculiraly we'll ad- apted to the tastes of picture pa atrons It strikes a chord of sentiment which echoes pleasingly in the hearts of young and old. rich and poor. It's ap- peal is straightforward and honest. suc- cessfully avoiding the quicksands of artificial. maudlin emotion into which so many directors slip when staging dramas of this type.
 The picture has already passed the public test with flying colors. During it's initial presentation at the New York Theatre, the audience greeted it's quaint comedy and earnest pathos with alternate smiles, tears and uproarious applause. No better proof could be furnished of the productions sterling worth and undisputed claim to rank as one of the most telling hits of the sea son.
 Rupert Julian surpasses all his pre- vious screen efforts in his ,impersona- ton of John Standing. In spite If the fact that the hero creates a decidedly tgnoble impression by his snobbishness and neglect of his parent, it is fine tribute to the art of MT. Julian that he succeeds in winning back the sym- pathies of the onlookers toward the close of the story.

Rupert Julian and Ruth Clifford come to the Alcazar in Mother O'Mine.'' The mother role is played by Ruby La Fayette, an actress of the old school, who, in her day supported Booth, Bar rett, John Mccullough and the other great stars of their time. Now, at 72, she is initiated Into the newer dram atic art Her fine portrayal of John Standings mother is rated as one of the finest examples of natural and sympathetic photoplaying ever viewed
 pon the screen.
