EDENDALE CINEMA
“BABE COMES HOME” A picture filled with thrills and human interest, comedy and novel romance' is coming to the Edendale Cinema to-night. “Babe Comes Home” is its title, and Babe Ruth, the giant figure of all baseball history, heads the cast, with Anna Q. Nilsson and Louise Fazenda featured. As the title suggests, baseball figures prominently in the story, but if you don’t know a base hit from an umpire you’ll laugh and cry and tingle with thrills in response to “Babe Comes Home.’’ Ruth has found a new career by yirture of his splendid histrionic performance in the stellar role. Miss Niilsson is a worker in a launddry. Babe plays himself in so far as the baseball sequences go, but in the strong plot and the romantic sequences —as strange a love affair as the screen has ever shown—he proves himself a consummate actor. Wid Gunning produced “Babe Comes Home” for First National Pictures, and Ted Wilde directed it. Ethel Shannon, Arthur Stone, Lou Archer and other well-known players make up a strong supporting cast.
