IHE GRAND THEATRE
«WEE X/ADY BETTY."
.■;. A Triangle feature of great charm 1 is now being, screened at the Grand, : with Bessie Love as the fascinaiting lit— lle'heroine.■ The story is entitled*" Wee Lady. Betty," and the scene is laid in the Isle of Kilcroney', off the coast of Ireland. It is a, peasant porcrayul of the sweetness of rural life, contrasted irith the oriiate life of the wealthier i ilaeses. "Wee Lady Betty" is gi;eatly •oved by, her tenants and when, it is -earned that the cattle in ' which, fii© jyes is to be taken- over by a new owner ; Ihere is a greaj deal of indignation. "^ Betty is much concerned as to the fat© :.-.'. of, her fa;therj who will become homeless, f and >;he adopts a clever device to provide for him. The n«w owner, however, proves to be a very likeable young many and it is not surprising that -he .two young peop.© soon learn to think ; yerytenderly of -each aQier. A very - dramatic situation arises when Betty, "trying to conceal Jhs fact that her :a--ther is jstill in 'the; ca.stle, plays the ghost, and gets shot by her lover. However, all's well that ends well, and this ;. picture does so. The'".winsome.pereohality of Bessie Love is perfectly suited for her/ part./ Walt Whitman has an important role. This picture,, with ' it.s sjplendid supporting programme, wiU r be repeated again to-day and to-night.
