HEARTS Of MEN
At THE ROYAL
Dramatic Success to Be Pre-
sented Today Only

The strange news of a three-year-
old boy supporting his father, a
strong, robust man, came to light to-
day. The boy is named Bob White,
and has been supporting his parent
for several months. Before your ire
rises too fast, let it be explained that
Bob White is only the stage name
for George Beban, Jr.," and is sup
porting his noted father in his latest
photoplay, Hearts of Men,
Hearts of Mem" is the type of
photoplay that can be truly describ-
ed as making dimples to catch the
tears" The picture quickly alter
mates from humor to pathos, from
comedy to drama. The plot ~recites
the ludicrous and tragic adventures
of a poor Italian who sells his florist
shop in order to buy some high, dry
land" on the instruction of a doctor,
to save his mothers failing health.
The upscrupulous real estate man
who makes the deal certainly fills
the prescription, and gives him a
plot of ground very high n dry
in fact, the highest and dryest part
of the Arizona desert. Thither he
departs with = his aged mother and
little motherless boy.
The picture Is commercially pro-
duced, with absolute fidelity to it's
minutest detail. The genes in Ariz-
ona were taken on the desert, and in
it's every feature h production re-
fleets careful and conscientious direc-
ton. The picture will be shown at
the Royal theatre today only.

At THE STRAND
Miss Virginia Pearson in I'm

Virginia Pearson took the SUBWAY
one morning by way of diversion.
There was a troupe of children In the
nextN car armed with lunch boxes and
bean bags and rubber balls, very OBJ
yiously bound for that spacious play
ground. Van Cortlandt Park. One or
the most venturesome of the youngest
members of the party started on an ex-
ploring trip of the train while an N
xious sister of some twelve summers
| darted hastily after him.
When sister arrived in close pursuit
the two had become close friends, but
! with an awed look at the face long
familiar to her through the medium
of the silver sheet. sister took her
little brother by the hand and fled.
A moment later Miss Pearson heard
the shrill treble of her voice issuing
from the other car-'Say, virginia
Pearson's in there"
1t was enough. With one accord
they swooped upon her. Treasured
balls and candy and bananas were
thrust upon her. Never a a more
sincere greeting been accorded any
one-and Miss Pearson appreciated
the impromptu ovation. At Van Cort-
landt Park a feast was procured at
one of the numerous SOC fountains
clustered around the station. n in
the midst o fit Miss Pearson slipped
away from her admirers to a busy day
in the studio.
