Marion Crawford story'. The picture was made in Italy. “The White Sister” is a love story. The story tells of Angela Chiaromonte, who loves Giovanni Severi, but Angela’s elder sister is jealous of her. Giovanni is called on military duty to Africa and is reported killed.

A news weekly and music by Lester Huff at the organ are subsidiarysubjects. -I* I' -IBER.AN TO APPEAR IN PERSON AT THE CIRCLE George Beban. famous character actor, comes to the Circle on Sunday in his most recent production, “The Greatest Love of All,” written and directed by Beban. In addition to his xole on the screen Beban will appear in person in connection with the story, and is bringing with him his entire company of twenty-four players, who will also appear in person. As in Behan’s farmer screen and stage play, “The Sign of the Rose,” part of the story will be shown as a screen play and then the screen will be raised'and the climax of the play will be presented as a stage drama, with the entire company appearing in their screen roles. At the conclusion of the courtroom scene the screen will again be lowered and the play will continue to the happy ending as a pic ture. The story concerns Joe, an iceman, whose efforts to bring happiness to his old mother and all those around him, lead him into a series of difficulties which almost sends his mother to jail for robbery and himself to the penitentiary for attempted •murder. However, he extricates himself from his troubles through the aid of his sweetheart, the daughter of the neighboring cobbler, and so brings happiness to himself as well as to his mother and the girl.

TOM MIX RUNS AX OLD LADIES' HOME Imagine Tom Mix as the owner and general manager of an old ladies’ home, and you will have some inkling of the fun in store at the Apollo next week when Mix will appear in his new production. “Ladies to Board.” William Dudley Pelley wrote the story. It’s about Tom Faxton. a cowpuncher. who. having heard so much about Boston baked beans, decides to take a trip' to the city of the historic teg party, for the sole purpose of looking over the bean factories. While crossing a busy street corner he saves' the life of an elderly mafden lady named Anastasia McFirth. She insists upon having his name and address. Some time later, when Tom is again back on the job roping steers he is informed that Anastasia had passed away, willing him all she possessed—the Anastasia McFirth Old Ladies’ Home, with some seventy well-paying inmates. Now running an old ladies’ home would seem to be a tame job for a husky cowboy. But if Tom entertained any fears along this line it wasn't long until they were thoroughly dispelled, for he encounters a situation that affords gobs of excitement. adding a touch of drama to what is otherwise a lively comedy, with a pleasing romance thrown in for good measure. Mix's support includes Gertrude Olmsted. Phil McCullough, Pee Wee Holmes, ‘Gertrude Claire, Dolores Rousse and Tony, the wonder horse. The program will contain an Our Gang comedy, “The Buccaneers,” the Fox news ■weekly, organ selections by Ruth Noller and musical entertainment by Virgil Moore's Apollo orchestra.

The story' concerns "Panther’ Gann, a gentleman crook, jvhom circumstances force to leave isle un-

LITTLE THEATRE PRESENTS COMEDY ‘Twelfth Night’ Will Be Given on June 2, “Twelfth Night,” one of Shakespeare’s charming comedies, will be presented by the Little Theatre on the night of June 2 as the last bill of the season for the Little Theatre. It will be given on the lawn of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hartley Sherwood on N. Meridian St., under the direction of George Somnes. As is appropriate for an out-of-doors performance of a Shakespearian play, simplicity of stage detail, after the manner of the Elizabethan theater, will characterize the production, the emphasis being placed on the acting and on the reading of the lines. Nature will furnish her own atmosphere. and what with the trees and flowers of the beautiful Sher wood grounds. “The Torch Bearers,” originally intended for production in May, will be held over until early next fall. Somnes announces. Leading parts in "Twelfth Night" will be taken by Miss Elise O'Connell, Miss Eleanor Day. Miss Sara Lauter, Rollo Tallcott, Arthur Berilult and Murry Wickard. To Film "Captain Blood” Preparations for the production of “Captain Blood.” from the novel by Rafael Sabatini, have been completed at Vitagraph studios in Hollywood and Albert E. Smith, president, and David Smith, who will airect the picture, are turning their attention to casting. This picture will be one of the most notable efforts of the 1924-25 season. Mr. Smith purchased the world rights to the novel while in London and there conferred with Mr. Sabatini concerning the production plans. To Continue Film Series Now thtft Samuel Goldwyn has found a fitting successor to Barney Bernard in the person of George Sidney, he will produce one “Potash and Perlmutter" picture a year and so make of these laughable partners an annual institution as they were on the stage. School Recital Thursday The Irvington -School of Music will present pupils in recital next Thursday night at the Irvington Masonic Temple at 7:45 o'clock. The public is invited.
