most beautiful woman on stage or
 screen, Virginia Pearson, the Rose
 O Dixie" as she Is known. The local
 queens of fashion had better beware
 of their laurels, for Miss Pearson
 wears some wonderful creations in
 this production, the total value of
 them being several thousands of dol
 lars. But that is only incidental to
 the picture itself, which is such
 splendid piece of work that it does
 not have to rely upon the modistes'
 products to put it over. For "Stolen
 Honor" has a great many points to
 recommend 1t to all motion picture
 followers The story is good, and is
 laid in Washington, D. C., the city
 where more things are happening
 just at present than ever happened anywhere else. There are some thrill ing scenes, and the scenes are richly made. It will add to Mss Pea.ron's popularity because she is, above every thing else a, great actress, and in this play she has every opportunity for the use of her ability. The story revolves about stolen painting which finally finds it's way to the National Art Gal lery in Washington. Virginia Lake (Miss Pearson) is a society girl artist,
 
 painting, she is accused of stealing the original and substituting the copy The accusation is made by a woman who is deeply in love with a man who loves Virginia. High society, includ- ing one of the foreign ambassadors, is entangled in the exciting conspir acy. It is, all in all, a stirring photo- play, and one that will give splendid entertainment. That big new Vita graph serial. Which has been so widely talked of, 'Venge geance-And the woman!" will open on the same pro- gram. 'The Oath!' which is the title l of chapter one, starts off with bang, and develops a mighty interesting rlot from the very beginning. It is ] full of thrills, and packed with action ] and meIodramatic interest from be- ginning to end. The stars are Carol

LYCEUMITES LIKE
 HOST IN TRANSIT"

Lovers of motion pictures who have viewed George Beban's latest pro- duction, Lost in Transit" for many of them the first of his offerings they have ever witnessed, have added tho name of ono more truly great star to their list. An unknown quantity in the minds of a majority of fol- lowers of the silent art, yet an actor of greater than ordinary ability, MT Beban i~ by degrees securing the notice that he deserves. and before long, America will be obliged to ad- init that an actor can be popular in character parts.
 The pictures on @ majority of trade publications these days are of actors and actresses well known to the pub lie, yet there is large class of men and women striving and working in the business to attain fame and for tune, and many of them are com mencing to get recognition that is long due. Tn this class is George Be- ban, for several years a popular "le- git1mate' actor, and now the greatest portrayer of foreign characters that the screen knows.
 French and Italian have both had him depiceing their native sons, with
 
 say that no man now in pictures ever achieved anywhere near the success Beban knows, as an Italian in motion pictures He has been given remark able vehicles, and he takes advantage , of every situation. His indescribable mixture of pathos and humor first bringing tears followed by roars of laughter is what might rightly be called art as the word is supposed to be used.
 In Lost in Transit the situation involves rich man who put into an orphanage the child that was born and caused his wife's death, the child later being lost and the rich man l finds that he needed the child's love. An Italian vendor, finding the child, befriends him and gets to love him, and despite a series of discourage ments, is made happy for the kind nesses he had shown. In MT Bebans S ! support, among others, is Bon White, one of the youngest stars the screen knows.
 Today and tomorrow offer the last l opportunities for viewing MT. Beban' s l offering On the Se,me program will ! be the Burton Holmes travelogue, the 1 Iyceum Weekly, a Kekstone comedy | SLfld otflcIS. IHS ItSWS weekly Will pc of especial interest because of a, new ! department opened in it, showing what is going on at the American ! camps in France. If there is a boy 1 from any home either in France or l in training in this country, the week l lv will be of special interest. ] The routine through which these l American boys are going in prep aration for service in the trenches l will be watched with interest. This l is the best way in which the public l is informed as to what is really going 1 on in France.
