8nn Francisco's District AHoniey
Gives Amntenr Thief .Money
to Iteturn Home,
Cassldy was only a poor little
ntrcet rat who never had a chance,
but he came back strong and showed
the world he was very much a man
5n the engrossing Triangle play,
f'CasEldy," to ho shown at Iho Ar
cade Theatre on Sunday only.
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."

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.
