ANOTHER . MINE"
 AT THE ALCAzAR
Screen Drama of Intense Heart Interest Has N0ta-
 bIe Cast

With maternal devotion as a theme on which to hang much melo- dramatic and exciting incident. Mother O Mine" proves an interest," ing offering at the Alcazar. There is notable cast, including Betty Ross Clark, Claire Mcdowell, Lloyd Hughes, Joseph Kilgour and Betty Blythe.
 The story is of a small town boy who preferred the dangers Of the city to the tiresom meness of his little home town. When he goes to the city his mother gives him an intro duction to a wealthy financier who becomes the real cause of the boys downfall and near ruin by using him in his own selfish schemes. The one thing that comes between the boy and ruin is mothers influence backed by the loyalty of a little dancer who loves him.
 The acting honors are pretty even ly divided. Joseph Kilgour, as the financier, gives his customary sound interpretation of the heavy role. Betty Blythe, as the wayward wom : an, is not only beautiful and gowned In surpassing elegance, but demon- strates genuine histrionic capabili- ties in her many dramatic situations. Claire Mcdowell, in the title role, Is sincere and convincing, and Betty Ross Clark commands sympathy aud admiration as the plucky sweetheart of the condemned lad.
 11x, ac ha art Sheldon, demonstrates that he is not only destined to become top-no sch dramatic actor, but that he has prac- tically arrived at that position of eminence. His work in the different prison scenes is flawless
