ROYAL PICTURES
Ai the Royal to-morrow and Thursday nights, that charming little actress, Bessie Love, will he seen in a role that is always her best, that of a little slavey of charily feats, a lily growing in the mire. The title of the picture is “A Fighting Colleen, ’’ and the play is set in the tenement district of the Metropolis, where poverty is the lot of a young girl who, until her mother’s death, is a vendor of newspapers on the street corners, and engaging in many tights to protect her -territory from the competition of newsboys. When she administers a sound thrasing to one youth he thereafter becomes her champion. As the District -Attorney is a candidate for the office of Mayor, he is interested in discovering evidence of graft against the administration in power, and the girl assists him. While it is not heavy or melodramatic, it lias a light romance angle, pathos occasionally, and altogether is an entertaining comedy- drama with a human appeal.
