McLEAN'S PICTURES.

•‘TEN NIGHTS IN A BATHROOM." FRIDAY. Not the least attractive feature of this great picture. “Ten Nights in a Bar-room.” is the fact that the longei we are away from the scenes and incidents described in the original novel and shown in tlio original play and now brought More our eyes in the picture, the more extraordinary and sensational they appear. The history of the world shows that this condition of mind may not last ami we max therefore, have recurrent the actual scenes of Ten Nights in a Bar-room, ns Air Shaw says, “You never can (ell.” Experienced showmen are predicting a screen success lor it, not smaller than that of most if nol all „f the so-called big pictures that have been brought to the notice of the pubic, it is. probably one ol the best acted pictures ever seen, as the principal characters are very earnest m their impersonations. John Lowell, ns Joe Alorgan, and Baby Ivy Ward, ns the little girl that is killed and who goes time and again to the Sheaf null Sickle Inn to rescue her weakling father, aro conspicuous hy their honest,,ess ami heart appeal. Probably j)7 per cent, of the pictures produced during the past decade have Mm forgotten, but the balance we refer to belong to the remaining throe per cent. Experienced motion pielnie people are of the opinion that “Ten Nights” is in this class and that it will ho shown again and again. Like ihe very successful Ahralmm Lincoln plav recently brought before the public,' you may safely look upon “Ten Nights in a Bar-room” as a ten-yea) play, or raliter picture. As a crowded house is anticipated patrons are advised to reserve their seats early. Usual prices. Alt-Lean's Supremo Orchestra- "'ll render new selections.
