CENTRAL THEATRE PICTURES TO-NIGHT. BARS OF IRON. “ Bars of iron,” the popular story by Ethel M. Dell, is to toe screened this evening. The story in brief is as follows :—Avery Denys' brief married life in Australia ended in miserable failure. Eric, her husband, ruined, sent her back to England until he got on his feet. In six months he had degenerated into a ruthless bully and one night forced Piers Eversham to fight him. He was killed in the struggle and Piers fled to England, joining his grandfather, Sir Beverley Eversham, at Rodding Abbey. Avery had come to that village and taken up the position of mother’s help at the vicarage. Piers fell in. love with Her, as did also Dr. Tudor, but Avery’s experience of marriage did not encourage a second trial and she refused both.men. Sir Beverley met. with a fatal accident, and before dying made Avery promise to marry Piers. The young man, however, discovered that the man killed in fair fight in Australia was Avery’s husband. The knowledge tortured him. Finding Piers distracted, Avery, mistaking the. cause, remembered her promise to the dead baronet and pressed Piers to marry her. He did, and hid the fact that he killed her husband, which was later revealed by Dixon a social outcast, who returned to England and told the story. Husband and wife were -on the point of separating when Dr. Tudor forced Dixon to tell the truth concerning the fight.
