The Man Who Made the Rose Famous George Behan, the Premier Portrayer of Italian Characters* First in vaudeville, then as a four-act stageplay, and finally, and most successfully, on the screen, George Beban has taught us all what a little flower can do. On the stage, his play was called ‘‘The Sign of the Rose,” while on the screen the title was changed to “An Alien.” As a portrayer of Italian characters, Mr. Beban probably has no superiors and few, if any, equals. They are real, and they are lovable. His work in “An Alien” has brought tears to the eyes of men and women who are unused to them. This play was first produced at the Astor Theater, N. Y., the first part being done in photoplay, and the last act being performed on the stage by the same persons who had appeared in the preceding pictures. He is now doing a new Italian character for the Morosco Company Phulu cupyrfghted •>> Under »\ ontl Si By HECTOR AMES ( Fifty-six)
