The Child Thou Gayest Me, which is the feature for Sunday contains a story so human in quality and the situations are so natural and so smoothly developed that the entire production seems to be an interesting period lifted right out of life.
 "The Child Thou Gavest Me" contains every element necessary to perfect pie ture, in which category we are compelled to place 1t. The suspense holds the inte- rest from the start to the climax. which is one of the most novel ever seen on the silver sheet
 The story is based on a highly dramatic and very exciting episode which suppos edly transpires in Belgium. Without drawing upon either the spectacular or the sex element
 It carries special woman's appeal through Little Dicky Headricks the won derful child actor.
 The fourth episode of the thrilling serial. Ruth of the Rockies" will also be shown. The title of this instalment is Between Two Fires A very funny comedy called Tho Panicky Pullman" will close the show.
