OH THE SCREEN.
Babette. One of the most sensational successes of screen stardom, Peggy Hyland, is seen in “Babette,” the Greater Vitagraph drama to be screened at Matamata on Saturday. The story is really “ different.” Its central incident is the marriage of a beautiful French girl to a handsome stranger whom she believes to be a great artist. He really is an artist by instinct but by choice he is one of the cleverest thieves in all France. He makes a resolute stand after his marriage and does not succumb to the easier way until his Babette falls ill. Then he gets the money in the old way, and very soon the police are on his track. His real trouble is to keep the truth from his innocent wife, and this he manages to do. A dramatic turn of fate comes to his aid, and the end of the story is full of surprise. The scenes are laid in Normandy and the artist quarter of Paris, and are full of genuine touches of Bohemianism. Supporting this powerful drama is a L. Ko comedy of 1720 ft, entitled “ Mexican Mix-up,” a Gaumont Graphic and a Pathe scenic.
