ND, FLA., FEBRUARY 26, 1912 “BUSTER BROWN” TONIGHT. — Buster Brown, the musical comedy that has made itself the most popu- lar attraction on the road in the Learts of the women and children, is to be at the Herron Theater tonight, ard put new pranks in the minds of 1t is seldom that 1 musical comedy improves with age, hit, in the case of Buster, the rule iz broken. This year the play is en- tirely new and has a semblance of a piot. The scenery is modern and wassiye. in construction, the cos- tumes fresh and pretty, being worn by a chorus of really beautiful young girls. Buster, Mary Jane and Tige make up the trio of mischief-makers, who play new jokes, sing new songs and make new resolutions. The old time characters, with the exception of Grandma, are changed and for the better, too. This season Buster is played by Master Harold, a dimin- utive chap, as much like Buster of the cartoons as one could imagine. One feels tempted to “just love him to death.’ Mary Jane, played by an- other little person, is done by Lou- isc Allen, who makes an ideal Mary Jane in size and ability. Tige is only a dog, but the most intelligent deg imaginable. This difficult role is performed by D. J. Murphy. Many new and novel features have been added in the musical line, among them being the “Campbell Kids,” by the Buster Brown Ponies. try. FINE PICTURE AT EDISONIA NEXT THURSDAY NIGHT sonia “The Early Christian Martyrs” is the title of a picture to be shown at the KEdisonia Theater Thursday night. Of this splendid picture The Moving Picture World has the fol- lowing to say: Gaumont has gone a step further in this search for realism, and in “The Early Christian Martyrs” has given us a piece of work which has small hooks indeed on which to hang criticism—so perfectly ds it done, s0 simple is the plot, and so strong and sustained its interest. Taking its theme from those cruel days when Nero threw Christian men and wom- en to the lions in the arena, this photoplay doesn’t dodge the action with side scenes and implication— there are real lions—and lots of them—men are thrown in with them, and only a miracle, which actually happens (or seems to) with We are shown poor Christians gathering wood, and see them terri- fled at the roars of the lions. We see them flee, and learn that one, more courageous than his fellows, determines, as he ma ynot kill the beasts, to tame them. Then we see him feed them, and, creeping closer and closer, finally pet and embrace these lions and make them his friends. No, it isn’'t faked. They are real lions, and it is a real man— probably he was a lion tamer and “played with his pets”—but he is a mighty good actor, at that——so are the lions! Then we see the Christians taken by the soldiers to Rome and in « very well-managed scene indeed watch them praying in the dungeon near the arena, with the lions roar- ing behind the bars of their cages. The arena, which certainly present- ed difficulties to the scenic producer, is excellently done, and the little touch of realism of about a dozen lions being whipped about the arena by two men and finally forced into their cage is the last touch neces- sary. Finally we see one Christian thrust into the arena and a lion loosed upon him. That lion made straight for the man, but instead of eating him, caressed him! It was the same lion the same man had tamed ——before he was caught for the use of Nero in the arena! And, naturally enough, the spectators think it a miracle, and Nero, the cruel, turns his thumb up, and the Christian and all his companions were saved. It wasn't a wonder, after gll—it was perfectly natural, yet as the title asks you, was it not, after all, a miracle? My compliments to the makers; it is a film rich in realism, true to his- tory as we know it, and not spoiled in the telling with any side issues of love tale or revene motif—simply a little bit of a great human drama. It is highly educational, extremely interesting, and with so happy and human an ending that in spite of the dread theme of human sacrifice s on which it is built, it would give | (9% COUGHS AND COLDS no child bad dreams. were more like it made in this coun- This picture will be at the Edi- February 29.
