By Russell Holman Far away from the bustle of cities In a spot that is coutrywide famed Lived a Miracle Man, strangely gifted To deliver the stricken and maimed. To this patriarch old in his cottage, With a plan to reap wealth from his deeds, Came a group from the slums of Manhattan, Who obeyed no command save their needs. There was Burke and the Girl and the Dope Fiend And a misshapen brute, their decoy. Then a Miracle happened! The gangsters Found the vile in their hearts was alloy! For the pure guileless life 'mid the mountains Brought ideals that cleansed hearts of crime, 'Til at last even Burke, the foul-hearted, Freed its soul from the taint of its slime. It's a picture that tugs at your heartstrings Full of thrills, mixed with laughter and tears When you see it, you'll echo with thousands "Takes its place with the greatest in years." 9 REELS Matinee, 2:30 children 20c, war tax 2c adults 35c, war tax 4c even- ing one show at 8 children 25c, war tax 3c adults 50c, war tax 5c.
