There is a good supporting programme of minor pictures. TTVOLI THEATRE.

The story is based •■ on the separation of a mother and, her son over a number of years. The boy is practically a baby when circumstances force his mother to send him away. Ho returns when a young man just in time to save his mother from her enemies. The outstanding character, that of tho mother, is adequately taken by Gladys Brockwell. who gives one. of her best performances to date. The time when much of the action takes place is the early eighties of last century, when the gold rushes in. Western America were at their height. MUNICIPAL ORGAN RECITALS.
