LYCEUM.

The present programme starring tho line photoplay "Good-Bye Summer," will b e screened for the last time to-night. To-morrow night the famous drama, "No Greater Love," from William Le Queux's novel, will be shown. Fully illustrated booklets are available describing the entire story. The pic. ture will only be screened for two nights, Thursday and Friday. A short forward of the play will not b 3 out of place. Never before has a photo-drama marked with such beautiful emphasis the love of a woman for her child. It is a drama of intensity throughout, revealing th e wonderful power of mother love. Husband, fame, life itself, are all surrendered in one glorious sacrifice for the child the woman bore. "Sadunah the Dancer," has a daughter, whom she wishes to defend from the perils of the world and see comfortably settled. Pursuing her sole ambition she marries a rich financier and, when he gets into serious straits, compels him to commit murder. But she, too, is ready to sacrifice, and the call coming, Sadunah, at whose feet the artistic world has paid homage, "goes West" to save her child. It is a great conception, and Mdlle. Regina Badet has given a moving interpretation of the soul-stirring stcry. "No Greater Love" is an attraction which cannot fail. One great charm is its naturalness. No incident in the story is either bizarre or unreal, but the climax is exactly a deed such a mother as Sadunah would commit for her daughter's sake.
