GEORGE BEBAN IN
SPLENDID FILM PLAY.

When George Beban gave up the
dramatic stage to take up film work
few believed he would achieve the
success he has. But his first Italian
roles in "Pasquale" and Sweet
hearts" were so true to life and
com bined pathos with humor, that
he became an immediate favorite.
His picture. The Bond Between"
shown at the Lasalle today, is as
good as anything he has ever done
and it will be appreciated by all ad-
mirers Of good acting and consist
ent story. This time he plays an old
French father of an irresponsible
son and he does il with all the ten
derness and paternal patience that
made David Warfield's Music
Master a classic. The dramatic
action is cleverly arranged and the
supporting cast is excellent.

TMEATERS
OTIS SKINNER.

The dignified and mature art Of
Otis Skinner. which is one of the
bright features Of the American
theater, has not enjoyed such fine
opportunities in a number of sea-
sons as are granted il by the Booth
Harrington comedy Mister Anton
TO-, in which this gifted actor will
be seen at the Oliver theater for one
performance on Thursday evening,
May 10th.
Mr.. Skinner, in the grace of his
gesture, the romantic color of his
characterization and the fervor Of
his interpretations is best suited for
roles which require a touch of the
imagination and the glamour of
romance, and Booth Harrington has
supplied both romance and color
with the prOsaic background of a
small town in these matter Of fact
days
Mister Antonio" is essentially
American in all its phases. Its prin-
cipal scenes are laid in the middle
west and Mr.. Tarkingtons ability
to draw the types Of people who
make their homes in that section
has long since been eXpertly dem
Onstrated. The hero Of the new COM
edy is an organ grinder, happy-go-
lucky fellow with a vein of crude
philosophy in his head and a love
of humanity in his heart, he laughs
and sings his way around the coun-
try in spring and summer. The plot
concerns the meeting of Tony and a
man who is about TO be thrown out
of a low bar room in New York. The
organ grinder befriends this man
and later meets him in his own small
town in the middlewest. where he Is
the respected mayor. Here the
dramatist revels in character draw
ing. for Harrington knows his small
town folks with intimate apprecia-
ton.

tricts, had prevented railroad traffic
Behind a rotary snowplow, two cars
of coal were dragged under emergency
orders. The schools in that town were
closed.
The village of Grey Eagle, near Lit
tie Falls, practically ran out OF food
supplies and was almost without

pend for light, when two cars Of
merchandise were forced through the

reported from Maynard, with peaks Of
snow reaching to tree tops.
