The truest delineation of the char

fcation of the public of New Britain
yesterday afternoon and last evening
by Benjamin Chaplin at the Lyceum
theater in the first of THE Son Of

entitled my Mother" For FIVE years
Mr.. Chaplin has been at work prepar-
ing these pictures and now they are
ready for release, just when the
country is greatest in need of patri-
otto stimulus. ~-->- / pa.
When the National Board OF Re-

most admired of all national heroes
is again shown to the world, to a gen.

through histories, by an actor than
whom there is none better fitted to
do the work. In My Mother" we
see how the life of Lincoln the boy
is molded-softly, gently, uprightly-
by the guiding hand of a loving and
devoted mother.
We see Lincoln as he lives the days
of his youth, growing up amidst sur
roundings that teach him the love of
! mankind. There is llumor, there is
delicate pathos, and withal the pic
ture is a masterpiece. It is a picture
that every child should see, and the

She's wholehearted in whatever

She Is the opposite,
Why? Because she has one fault

She Is overweeningly self assertive.
