PLAZA THEATRE.
The story of the success and failure of one of the most extraordinary figures that our cojonial history has produced is told on the screen in "Rhodes! of Africa," the attraction at the Plaza I Theatre. Rhodes was undoubtedly a man of remarkable ability; an empirebuilder of vision, a type of which the nineteenth century produced many | shining examples, and now that his dream has come true, although he died before his schemes were brought to fruition, we are able to assess' more justly the services he rendered in his efforts to creat a new emnire for Britain in the'country whose welfare he had so deeply at. heart. The fact that he died with his policy ending in apparent failure and repudiated by the Home Government made his end bitter, but the events have been the justification of his life and work. Walter Huston makes ah undoubted success of the role of Rhodes, and Kruger is well portrayed by Oscar Homolka.
