CAPITOL THEATRE

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY M Ninety per cent of the appeal of “Rose Tralee” is vested in Binkie Stuart, diminutive child star, who carries almost the entire burden of the story on her tiny In the juvenile . field she • will certainly rate as a discovery, and shows acting capabilities of a surprising order. In addition, she sings with remarkable self-possession, and winds up with a small dance. The story deals with the tribulations of a poor young mother and her infant daughter, separated from the father, who has become a successful Crooner in America. Turned out by her hard hearted landlady, the mother and daughter are befriended by an Irish cafe proprietor and his quaint old landlady. The father comes home to seek his family, but an unscrupulous agent neatly sidetracks all enquiries until chance, and success, reunites the three once more. Fred Conynham and Kathleen O’Regan are the romantic leads, and the work of Talbot O’Farrell, Denier Warren, and Dorothy Dare calls for comment in a cast of familiar names. O’Farrell scores as the kindly cafe proprietor, especially w % he sings one of his familiar Irish numbers. . .
