CENTRAL THEATRE PICTURES TO-NIGHT. THE FLAME' OF LIFE. Priscilla Dean, 10/ng r;ecognihed as a leader in vital emotional Work on the screen, is the star of “The Flame of Life,” which is the attraction for to-night. The story,, based on Frances Hodgson Burnett’s famous companion novel to “Little Lord Fauntleroy," is that of a girll who oouldn’t read or write, whose environment wafe that of a mining tow'n in Northern England, whose life at home was composed mainly of beatings; by her father, and whose only sp .ir was the friendship of the overman of the mine, a friendship strongly suspected and ridiculed by the poverity-stricken but independent people around her. The role affords opportunity for a brillianti charatcerisation by the Dean of the screen. A great mine catastrophic, for which mile-lpng sections of tunnels and shafts were exploded, precipitates the climax in a smashing run of thrills.
