8 » “THE MASTER MIND.” G TO-NIGHT. 7 “The Master Mind’’ is that of Henry Allen, brilliant psychologist, obessed ’ with the idea of deliberate vengeance 1 on District Attorney Wainwright for his activities in executing Allen’s brother. In order to torturo his prospectivc victim in advance, Allen mails Wainwright a series of cards warning him of his impending fate. “The Master Mind” enlists the aid of underworld people who have reason to hate 1 the District Attorney and finds the girl who rescued him in a motor hccident. Through his agents Allen finds the girl iu prison. He procures her release on fine education. From noted

I crooks he selects three, who are properi lv trained to represent tho girl’s faj t her, mother and brother. They are brought together after a period of J years, all four fitted to the parts they I are to play. The ambitious young Dis- ' trict Attorney is a candidate for Governor, when a carefully planned accident brings him into relation with tho girl and marriage follows. When the election is at hand, when a mere breath ot' suspicion might ruin Wainwright’s chances of success, the Master Mind springs the plan which it has devised with infinite pains and cunning. A burglar enters the home of the District Attorney. His wife is warned and • goes to the thief to plead for her hap- j piness. He insists upon her opening the safe. Wainwright lias been roused and has a police official on hand. He is about to arrest the thief when the Master Mind warns him not. to do so. It is then revealed that the candidate for Governor is wedded to a convict and her entire family is composed of crooks. Wainwright breaks down and tenders his resignation. But the man who lias planned all this misery is so touched by the wife's pure faith and love, that he tears up the resignation and abandons forever a scheme of vengeance that was the work of a Master Mind. “THE BIG TOWN ROUNB-UP.”

TO-MORROW NIGHT. Tom Mix, the William Fox star, in his best work is seldom equalled and never surpassed, in the line of Western photodrama demanding genuine gunplay. hard riding, iron nerve and the gentle art of wooing. And his best work is declared to be on view in “The Big Town Round-Up,” in which he will be seen at the Otaki theatre to-morrow night. This picture is entirely new to Otaki.
