ROYAL PICTURES,

Beverly Bayne, Frank-Mayo Bryant Washburn, and Pauline Garcon appear in the story “Blind Mothers,” to bo screened at the Royal Theatre to-morrow night. A story of the moment, unfolding a tale of a woman’s ambition, a man’s infidelity, and a young girl’s heedlessness. Tt is a forceful lesson placing the blame of children’s missteps squarely in the hands of neglectful parents. Heart interest and melodrama are there, with a mystery climax that lias many unexpected twists before it finally unravels. See it. On Friday night “So This Is Marriage” will be screened. It is one of those rare pictures which possess not only unusual excellence in direetion, acting, suspense, and plot, but also includes a feature —an insert in natural colours of the Biblical story of David and Bnth-She-ba —that is extraordinarily beautiful and out of the usual in every way.
