At the Belasco Theater tomor-
row will be Man of Aran,"
awarded the Mussolini cup as the
best picture shown last year at
International Motor Picture Expo
sition in Venice.
No, it doesn't show the Fascist
army on dress parade. Instead
it was made by Gaumont-British,
who financed Director Robert j.
Flaherty while he lived for two
years on 1nishmore, largest OF the
Aran Islands.
The Aran Islands, off the Gal
way coast of Ireland. are barren
of soil, peopled by hardy natives
who live by fishing. These native
actors appear in Man of Aran"
and their activities were photo"
graphed against natural back
grounds of striking pictorial
value.
Man of Aran" ran four months
on Broadway, better record than
any Hollywood picture achieved in
1884. It also was voted Best
Picture of 1884" by the National
Board of Review.
On Silver Dollar
Harry j. English, of the Den
mister Apartments. observes that
Edward G. Robinson'S picture,
"Silver Dollar" which was shown
at the Metropolitan Theater in
1882, included the character OF
Baby Doe" who died so tragically
a week ago at the abandoned HaW
Tabor mine.
Indeed he is quite right. "Sil-
yer Dollar" was the story Of Haw
Tabor's career and was, to my
mind, the best picture that Eddie
Robinson ever made.
Babe Doe" found dead Of ex-
posure under pitiful circum-
stances, was the bride Of probably
the most famous marriage ever
celebrated at washington Hotel
Willard.
Haw Tabor, given a temporary
appointment to the U. S. Senate,
arranged for his wedding on an
elaborate scale. President CheS-
ter Arthur was among those who
witnessed the ceremony and re-
manned for the bountiful wedding
breakfast which followed.
Baby Doe was married to Haw
Tabor by a priest from st. Pat
rick's. The good father was ter
ribly disturbed about it when he
found that both Tabor and Baby
Doe were divorces, a little fact
the multimillionaire concealed
when filling out the license. AS a
matter of fact, everybody was
hoaxed, for the couple had been
quietly married three months be-
fore the Washington ceremony.
Yes "Silver Dollar" was a fine
picture. It might be worth re-
viving in view of the interest
aroused by the recent death of
one of the pictured principals.

The first 500 girls to attend
Love in Bloom" at the Metropoli-
tan Theater on Friday will be
given a rose. A fragrant tribute
from Burns and Allen, plus Joe
Morrison, add Bill Ewing and
fraction of Dan Terrell. Stir gen.
tly, put in a hot oven and when
done to a nice brown sprinkle a
little of Manager Brennan. Par
don me, the cook book got mixed
with the Burns and Allen Love
in Bloom" publicity. But the free
roses for 500 stand.
