THE SILVER HORDE TUESDAY. Absolutely tlie finest picture ever screened to a Hokitika audience will shown on Tuesday by McLean's Pictures. Like all of the Rex Beach stories ns produce db.v Goldwyti. there i.s no particular star in "The Silver Horde," although tlie east has lteen specially selected from the best talent in the country. “Way up in the frozen stretches of Alaska, nine-tenths of a man’s law rests in the bnrrell of a gun. and the flinty hardness of hare lists. Mon are made or unmade in a ■ clash of lists—it sudden "draw’’’ ol irons. Cunning and trickery to them i.s the weapon of the snake - and answered only by tbe vehement spit of a well-aimed shot. So when .Marsh with his Eastern polish and Wall Street millions hit the Knlvik trail to gain control of tin* great salmon traps, he found his cunning pitted against the might and courage of the Groat North. And the struggle that followed, resotimlo with the crash of mighty fists —vibrated with tin* tinleasbed passions of strong men lighting for fort line and the hive of a woman. (if all Alaska treasures, none is move beautiful tliilii the Salmon Fisheries of the Knlvik district, and here remote from law two rival (actions struggle to control the silver horde of salmon. Marsh, head ot a powerful cannery, backed by a Wall Street syndicate. is determined to monopolize the Knlvik fisheries, lie finds in Cherry Malotte. a hardy and beautiful daughter of Alaska, a worthy opponent. She and "Big George" Holt light, to hold their claims. Out from the Mining Country to the. far north conies a discouraged man Boyd Emerson, a selfconfessed failure. All alliance is binned between Holt. .Emerson and Cherry .Malotte. They will light for their claim te a share of the silver horde. Emerson goes to New N ork to get the necessary capital and is successful. Ibo powerful Wall Street syndicate calls into play every resource at its command in an oll’ort to "break’’ the three. Thou the tight begins in earnest with tlie ai tion sweeping forward at a breath-taking pace, and winding up in a big surprise. The prices for this big picture will l,c Dress Circle 2s. -tails Is fid.
