REXELATION--LYCEuM.

One Of the most satisfying pie lures Of the season describes the lleeum feature, Revelation" This picture centers on a beautiful legend Of an old French monastery.

One day while he was at prayer the Virgin appeared 10 him and tho rosebush bloomed again as a sign of forgiveness. In the picture q young French girl leaves her fatherless baby at con- vent and goes to Paris. where she indulges in the Wild life of a model. She falls in love with a poor Ameri- can artist and 1t Is while posing as the Madonna that she realizes her shortcomings, turns over a new leaf and ultimately saves her soul and happiness, The cast includes Mar jorie Daw, Monte Blue, Lew Cody and other notables.
 Starting on Thursday a new fea- lure program brings that greatest of all comedies, "Charley's Aunt" with Syd Chaplin in the leading role. Re- p!ete with humorous situations, this picture is one Of the best of enter tainments.
