McLEAN’S PICTURES.

“HEART OF THE NORTH.” TO-NIGHT.

McLean's present this evening Roy Stewart and Louise Lovely in “The Heart of the North”. This is a drama of Hie fur northwest, where none but the bravest can withstand the hardships of a region licsct with snow anil ice and a country harbouring lawless men and wild animals. It is n land where the frail and weak perish at the wayside in the inexorable game of life, and where only brute strength dominates. The interesting outdoor scenes were actually photographed “north of sixty” at a considerable expense, so that realism would result. Those responsible for the photoplay .should be congratulated upon obtaining the combined services of Roy Stewart and Louise Lovely ill the leading roles. Not only are the scenic splendour and quaint natural settings a feature of this intense drama of the Canadian country, but there are many other equally interesting spencs. Among them are several teams of real Eskimo dogs drawing heavy-ladqn. sleighs across the snow and ice, ail actual chase of a silver fox that evont-■i-illy meets liis doom in a trap, and the awe-inspiring spectacle of a terrific forest (ire. A great laughter-making comedy “Champion by Chance,” a scenic and gazette, with full orchestral accompaniments complete a fine programme.
