"HELEN'S BABIES" AT THE THREE STARS THEATRE.

"Helen's Babies," which will be shown for the first time at the Three Stars to-night, is a decided screen success, and likely to draw a big,' attendance. Harry Jb'urton was Helen's only brother. He was a steady-going young, man of excellent business habits, and as fond of the children as a bachelor uncle could be. Still he did not yearn for the exclusive control of his nephews, and a letter from his sister caused him some discomfort. Helen explained that she and her husband were gping away for a couple of weeksand she wanted Harry tc take charge of the house while they were gone. Woman-like, she put the most imporeiant news in a post-script, stating thas Alice Mayton was stopping; with her mother at the hotel near her -home. Harry was secretly'in love with Alice, so he gladly accepted his sister's invitation. The boys met him down tn» road and welcomed him noisily; they played a joke that caused a complete estrangement between Alice and Harry. But another prank caused the/ two lovers to come together again, ana Harry married Alice, and in the years that followed they always blessed the time that the uncle had come to tne country to take care of Helen's babies.

The outstanding supporting features including "T-he Third Commandment" (Kalem drama) are ali very entertaining. "The Third Commandment" is an exciting photo-play showing the result of a man committing: perjury in a court room, in order to gain the iove of a young and pretty woman, and the remorse he suffered before his crime was made known. The climax is very powerful. The "Pathe Gazette" deserves a special mention, as dees the travel scenic, "Round About Yunnan" (Southern China.)
