OPERA HOUSE, TUESDAY

A Win. Fox Photoplay in 500 Scenes

At the Opera House on Tuesday McLean’s Piet area will peasant a Win, Fox photoplay “Tbe Piundsrar” which features Wm. Farnum, the man with the million dollar fp.es. The story is told in five hundred gorgeous scenes and affords Mr Farnum a real f'Farnnm pait”—-big Bill Matthews, of the Croix d’Or mine, a doughty, splendid eteel-knit fellow, with a b ; g warm heart and a punch ia each hand. Bill and hia partner are harassed by a secret enemy who imprisons them in a mine shaft, causes a strike of the workmen and blows up a reservoir on which the power of the mine depends. A pnlße-siit'ring battle with bare fists, in which Big Bill bests a seers of drink-craz id miners in a fight, that for sheer thrills and heart-catching excitement haa never bsen excelled on the stage or screen, is one of tho big features of this eupor picture.

Then, too, there ia a splendid double love-story which leaves a happy glow in the spectator's mind. In fact, “ Tim Plunderer ” is as perfect a photoplay as has yet boen achieved, and deal 3 with clean, manly m?n, affecting sentiment, tbe lust for yellow gold and swift, dynamic drama.

The array of supports is rars- varied and will consist of items quits new to a Hokitika audienc".
