A PANTOMIME ON THE SCREEN

“RIP VAN WINKLE.” An! age-old tale that’s very new, With Hudson and’ his ghostly crew, With “Rip” and Dame Van Winkle too. And tiny gnomes in docks and shoals Playing unendingly at bowls Amid the Katskill’s grassy knolls. Then there’s a maid of beauty rare, With Mashing eyes and golden hair. A damsel altogether fair. Her swain, a sturdy, stalwart youth Von. Beekman, wand’ring far from youth — Here’s a rare picture treat forsooth. Usual prices. Otn Wednesday, Tom Moor and Betty Compson will apnear in a Paramount De Luxe attraction', “Over the Border,” and “Shame” will he screened on Easter Monday night. ROYAL PICTURES. »> Peter B. Kyne, the famous novelist, is the author of “Kindred of the Dust,” a First National attraction produced by R. A. Walsh and appearing at the Royal Theatre tonight. The story appeared originally in the Saturday Eveaving Post and then was issued in book form, many editions of which have been sold. Miss Cooper plays the part of “Nan of the Sawdust Pile,” a little maid to whom fates have been unkind. Red-blooded adventure is the motif of the story, intermingled with romance of a delightful type. Extra : “Robinson Crusoe.” Prices as usual.
