Ho landed in San Francisco, hun gry and broke. Wanting to get back homo to New York ho robbed the houso of the District Attorney. Caught red-hnnrled, Grant, the dis trict attorney, finally realized the boy was dying, and giving him mon ey to take liim homo let him go hue, but not before CnHsldy had seen a picture of the district attorney's daughter, whoae eyes were those of his own girl, Mamie, fnr away In old New York. ' Shuffling out of Grant's house in a pouring ruin, Cnesldy went to "the Palace bar-room to get a warm drink and found tlio place locked. Just ns ho was leaving he heard a scream, and as he looked through ft crack In the door he saw Onrvls, the owner, the bartender and a cop struggling with the girl with Mamie's eyes. His chanco had come, the chance he had always been awaiting, the op portunity to mnko good, to show the world he was a man. With a frcn Eled cry of rage the frail and wasted youth li-oko down Iho door and tack led the two men who woro holding tho girl a prisoner. With only a bar room Ice-pick as a weapon, rescued the girl from tho men who woro bent on ensnaring her. Dick nosson Is sinned In tho title role of Cassldy, and his admirable acting In this Trinngle drama is one of Its greatest features. "Mother O' Mine," the Bluebird pho toplay to bo exhibited nt the Arcade theatre on Monday and Tuosduj will beautifully Illustrate the great truth that "a boy's best friend Is ills mother." Kupert Julian will play the lend, co-starring with dainty Until Clifford, while Ruby l.a Fay ette, a veteran aelrcs3 of seventy two years, will play the mother role. Bluebird banks its reputation on 'Mother O' Mine." o I S-T-A. ;ii:i. Ait tsui) of mi itorit Idaho Man of Momodalo, the Foley. Here Idaho, Albert Kinny, is a guest at V p v, r : W Dllvli KOSSON IN TKIANGLK JL,AY ARCADE, SUNDAY ONLY CAS511Y who is a hoy's ni:sr fhiuxiv; Her boy, grown to manhood, ven tured to the great city nnd won fame and fortune. In his self-worship he neglected his mother. Sho wont to him and ho, wantonly, denied her. Then conscience snrote him nnd he lived to repair his great wrong. The hnppinesB that was his came because ho saw the light In limo; awoke to his duty before It was too late. A powerful drama, written to deny the InMuenco of heredity, Is the But terfly picture, "Fear Not," which comes to the Slnr theatre on Sunday and Monday with Brownlo Vernon as too star. The girl's family for two generations lias been cursed with a craving for drugs. Her father and uncle are both slaves, and she determines never to marry, so that the curse shall not bo transmitted to posterity through her. She meets and loves n young physician. Inter ested In the Investigation of Just such problems, whoso pet theory Is that heredity plays no part In such casoB. Realizing that she loves him she Induced' her father and his broth er to move to tho country under an other name. Tho uncle, half-crazed for lack or tho drug, kills the doctor who denies it to him. The crime Is fastened, by bis perfldily nnd by cir cumstantial evident, upon his niece Tho unraveling of tho story brings tho girl and the young physician who loves her together again on the night before her execution. lie determines to savo her by Inducing her uncle to confess. The original manner In which ho goes to work, the suspense, the agony of waiting which the girl goes through, pile up nt the end to a climax whirh is almost unendur able. Rescued at last, tho girl Is not yet persuaded to marry, for fear of her Inheritance. Hut tho young doctor succeeds In convincing her of Iho truth of hlu theory, and we leave them happy.
