“THE WOLF

The Lubin Company Im- risen to a high ilium* in picture photography, and one of ils lies! productions is “The Wolf,” now being

shown at I lie Town Hull. The story illustrated is nn adaptation from one of Eugene W« Iter's strongest novels. Readers of Eugene Walter’s works have revelled a; his “Trail of Ihe honrsim 1 t'ine," “Paid in I ill I,” and “The Easier Way," and those who witness 1 lie srory of "The Wolf,” as it passes across the screen will he carried a\va\ hy its absorbing dramatic' intrest and the grandeur of the scenery exhibited. The story of the picture is a particularly interesting one. .Inies Bienbean, trapper, was thrown much into Hue society of one of I lie few women who lived in those parts. The inevitable happened ; they fell in love, and there being no minister they married by book and oath. Soon after, I hey were separated. A daughter was horn and named Anette. Bienbean returned to Prance and married ayah* m (he orthodox way. Years went by and Bienbean died and lei I Ins son a fortune, and a eha rife that he should seek out the giri Anette left in Canada years before. The story deserihes how the son found that Ihe girl, betrayed and deserted by a railway surveyor, had wandered forth in delirium with her baby and been eaten hy wolves. The avenging of Anette forms (lie climax of one of (lie most striking and powerful li'm plays imaginable. The picture is a six-reel one and is of pressing' interest from beginning to end. A strong supporting list constitutes a splendid programme. MONDAY AND TUESDAY.
