OTAKI THEATRE.
“HIS GREATEST SACRIFICE.” TO-NIGHT. The popular William Famuin will bo at the theatre again to-night in a big emotional photoplay called “His Greatest Sacrifice.”. The dramatic art as exemplified on the screen by Mr Fnriium has been a joy to all motion picture followers, and. according to advance reports, “His Greatest Sacrifice” is a picture that gives the star au opportuuity to lay all of his great screen powers at the feet of the photodramntie public. The story has to do with the lives of husband and wife, whe both have ambitions to gather the applause of the public—she as an opera singer and ho as a writer. He feels that his work will redound to the credit and the enjoyment, of his wife and child, while she is selfish and vain, and seeks only the personal joy and position her voice will bring her. She achieves fame, but she loses what she later learns to be the greatest joy—the love of her husband and her child. Then mother-love, which she had tried to crush, comes back and she seeks consolation from her husband and her daughter—only to find that what she discarded so callously cannot be grasped again at will. There are many intoasly dramatic moments in this picture, moments when Mr Faraum stirs vonr whole being by liis fine acting. It is a picture in which there are no dull moments.
