mTuE OLD NEST

picture that has yet been produced.
The theme. that of a mother who
sees her six children leave her, one
by one is common to American
families. All the poignancy OF feel
ing hat these le~ave-taking rouse
in real life have been caught on the
screen.
Rupert Hughes is the author of
this unusual tale of mother love.
He has sought to present q cross
section Of a universal theme as ap-
piled to an American family. All
the joys and sorrows connected
with raising a family have been
dramatized. Each of the children
grow to manhood or womanhood
with his own individual interests,
then leaves the old nest to follow
the call of his desires. Only their
mother is left to her loneliness and
her memories. But, as in every
American family, the young re-
member the old nest and return to
it.
AS an extra added attraction with
this great. photoplay, the manage
ment of the Ditmas has booked
Harold Lloyd in his latest comedy,
Among Those Present." This is a
rip roaring comedy that makes the
bill the greatest in the city.

THEATRES

Today and Monday at the Crescent
Today ends the showing of Will
liam Farnum in His Great Sac
rifice" at the Crescent theatre. This
picture which gives the life story of
a little family that Is deserted by
the mother for the stage and then
generally drifts apart. is one of the
greatest pictures in which Farnum
has ever been seen. Farnum takes
the part of the husband, and
through his wanderings from the
time his wife leaves him until he is
found by his daughter, gives the
great actor a chance to display his
wonderful talent TO the best advan-
tage. A good comedy and a News
weekly makes this a delightful
show.
On Monday the Crescent will
present the wonderful picture, 1.-THE
Wandering jew" featuring Rudolf
and Joseph Shildkraut. This il one
of the greatest pictures yer pro-
duced and should be seen by every
one in the city and surrounding
country.
1t is impossible to set down here
greatness of this production, but
some idea of how massive q produce
ton it Is may be obtained by stating
that the east contains 10, 200 people.
Those who enjoy something out of
the ordinary in photoplays should
see this production.
