What is the meaning of' the title of George Beban's new picture of that name whiclj comes to the Capitol Theatre beginning Monday. Often titles are' found not to mean a great deal after a photoplay has been seen. Frequently they are discovered to be more, attc&ctive than the picture they adorn. Seldom does a title really express the spirit of a picture or cover the span of its plot. It is refreshing to discover one that does all this. "The Sign of the Rose," in the fyrst place, was written by George Beban, its star, who also supervised every detail of the production. The story concerns a humble Italian who enters a flower shop it* quest of just one rose for his, little dead daughter. 7 Waiting in the shop is a wealthy woman who has received an anony mous letter demanding that she ap pear at th rendezvous with a large sum of money which she is ,to hand without question to a man wearing a rose. In .return she will be taken, to her child who is held fo^ ransom by kidnappers. Sharing her vigil is a detective eager to -apprehend ,the criminal. He is sure that the Italian We Thank HEAD LETTUCE CELERY TOMATOES CAULIFLOWER ORANGESi GRAPE FRUIT vi /. .63 .69 1.00 .90 .70 .25 .50 cut, 3 .50 cut, 3 .50 Milk, .35 Try It At Oar Risk.

Out of this play of crosspurposea comes the big scene of "The Sign of the Rose." It leaves n* one in doubt of wha( the title itself means, or its relation to the picture as a whole'. It doubtful if "The Sign of the Rose" could be/ as appropriately called by any other name.
