The bill to be presented on Christ- mas Day and two following days has been specially selected for its ex- cellenee in every respect The fea- picture is one of those high- class: Famous Player subjects, "Her Father's Son," featuring that de- lightful little screen star, Vivian Martin The sweet winesomness and endearing charm of Miss Martin are alone enough to guarantee the worth of any production in which she starred. Add to these a splendid story admirably suited to her wonderful personality and a cobination is effected which will de- light and entertain every ome. The amusing tangle which develops into plot springs from the rich uncle, who has no son and persuades the father of his niece to induce his daughter to pose as a boy. This the father does as his dying wish under his uncle's roof. With her cousin Betty as a chum the deception be- comes amazingly difficult. Miss Martin enacts the duel role in a charming manner. There are many phases of interest in this remarkable offering. There will also be shown the great serial, Mystery," and 1s Four of "The Crimson Stain one of those ever popular Frank Daniels' comedies. In addition to the above bill there is the usual ex- cellent vaudeville performance. The | management takes pleasure in sub- mitting this programme for its Site} rons' approval.
