George Beban Makes Hit in Lost in
 Transit" at Coliseum.


 Lost in Transit" which was shown last night at the Coliseum, made a big hit with the large aud fence. The picture featured George Beban, the famous actor 0 fItalian parts, together with his son, two years of age.
 As a typical Italian junk man, Beban was there and not a single flaw could be picked by the most critical with his makeup acting, of the setting of the picture. The story deals with a little boy who has never been seen by his father. While being taken home from the orphan age, the boy is lost.
 Meantime Beban, as the junkman, finds little boy in his wagon with a note pinned to him saying that whoever finds the youngster may keep him. He intends to turn him over to the police, but before doing so the little fellow worms his way into the big heart of the man and he can't part with him.
 Meantime the avaricious keeper of the orphanage has been offered five thousand dollars to recover the boy Hearing of the little fellow found by the junk man from rival for the hand of Anita, the belle of the Italian quarter, she has the po- lice take him away and palms him off as the real lost boy.
 Broken-hearted the junk man is unable to eat, sleep or work. Later a series of accidents occur which restore the little fellow to the junk man, together with a check for five thousand dollars, and also the hand of the btauty is won at the same time This is picture that should not be missed by anyone who knows Italians and their big-heartedness or by anyone who likes children. Those who like good acting and character parts should also see the picture It is one of the best in which Be ban has appeared in, Juneau.
