LYCEUM PICTURES.

SATURDAY.

"The Shuttle," from the novel of the same name by Frances Hodgson Hurnott, whose popularity brought the book through ten editions. "The Shuttle" gives Constance Talmadge as Bettina Vanderpoel in the Select production, a role admirably suited lor her portrayal of high-spirited, lovable, truly American girls. "The Shuttle,' which is the big attraction lor to-morrow evening, is perhaps the most polished product if Mrs. Burnett's pen, for it is a ffflrt-mov-mg story of unusual dramatftT Torce with a unrtetgal appeal. As Bettina Vanderpoel the*brisk, independent, energetic American girl, who brings her. elder sister, Lady Anstruthers, back to health and spiritual well-be; ing, Constance Talmadge repeats the sensational success as a dramatic star which she resigstered with "Scandal." The characterisation of this story Ts Connie's greatest achievement. The supports are topical budget and a two-reel Vitagfaph comeriv. s .- MONDA^. ■■ ..:.;•
