['f; : ” *__ ¢ ; " 99 Vera Gordon” in ‘‘The Greatest Love”. ““The Greatest Love,”’ is, of course mother love, which is greater and more lasting than the love of a 'man for s maid. And Vera Gordon, who made herself a star over- night through her wonderful work in ‘'‘Humoresque,’’ has been selected for the import- ant role of Mrs. Lantini, the real head of a little family of ltalian emigrants who come to this country in search of liberty and the better live. Though her son, grown to suc- cersful manhood, is accused of murder, and is sentenced to the death chair, her stead- fast love never wavers for an instant. Her boy has told her heis guililess and her mother heart knows that he speaks the truth. How she proves her faith justitied forms one of the most gripping stories of the year. : Show concluding with a One Reel Comedy. 99 ’ £8 39 All Lit Up” by “Snub Poland THURSDAY “PRISCILLA DEAN” IN “THE VIRGIN OF STAMBUL” ADMISSION B .
