Ince is the feature at the Royal tonight. “Mother O’ Mine” is an all star picture with such well-known x players as Betty Blythe, Lloyd Hughes, Joseph Kilgour and Betty Ross Clark in principal roles. It has been elaborately produced and tells an interesting story of a young man who is unjustly accused of a crime, but who is saved by his mother and sweetheart. It has been produced - with all the wealth of detail and realism for which the Thomas H. Ince studios are famous and as one of the really big pictures of the year. The production is in seven reels, with a smashing melodramatic climax and-a pretty romance. Song “The tears of an old' Irish Mother” by four voices and “Mother O’ Aline” will be sung during the screening. Extra: “Winners of rhe West.” On Mofiday the extraordinary song-picture, “The Children’s Home,” will be shown together with a Mabel Norman feature, “The Slim Princess.” Mabel Norman appears in a new’ Goldwyn comedy centering round a strange Oriental custom, which gives her opportunity to display those great comedy talents for which she is famous. “Good wine needs no bush” and to say it is a Mabel Norman Picture is to say it is good.
