“THE RIVER’S END” MONDAY. Marshall Neilan’s production of James Oliver Curwood’s story of tho North-West Mounted Police “The River’s End” is the star attraction at the Princess Theatre on Monday. Thife is a vivid drama told in the author’s best style, and it is unusually strong in the elements of adventure, conflict and romlance. The interpretation has been entrusted to a highly capable cast led by Marjorie Daw, Lewis Stone, Jane Novak and J. Barney Sherry. The story revolves around Derwent Con'iston of the North-West Mounte'd Police, who is commissioned to capture John

Keitch a fugitive from justice, but untoward events happen and when the officer to stricken to deatli the prisoner help him a strange compact being made between the two, that when the officer dies the fugitive shall impersonate him and return to civilisation where he establishes his innocence, and wins a beautiful girl, and cleans up a band of Chinese opium dealers. No play has given the public ia more decided insight into life of the great Northwest than

James Oliver Curwood’s great story of the G.N.W.M. Police, “The River’s End,” Marshall Neilan’s superb touch j asj director has made of the tale a liv- , ing breathing tribute t-o the famous | trailers of men, whose motto is “we always get our man.” The aura of ro- ( mnnee that surrounds these hardy chaps 1 ip none the less emphasised by Lowis Stone’ splendid, virile presentation of the roles of Conniston and Keith. A i Pathe Gazette and a fine Educational film will also be shown. Pollards Symphony Orchestra will give a new pro- | gramme.
