A GREATER UNIVERSAL ON SATURDAY.

Fighting Frank Mayo and Molly Malone appears on Saturday at the local pictures in “Across the Deadline.” Gilead, a Northern lumber town, has been divided by Enoch Kidder so that one side of the village all of it on one side of the main street—was separated from the other side. Enoch, on the side in which lived wholesome, Godfearing men and women, was the dominant figure. On the other side! —the side of saloons, dance halls and loose, morals—hs brother, Aaron, was king. An ancient feud existed between the tw.p. Years before: Aaron had sworn vengeance for a fancied wrong, and as Enoch’s son grew to manhood, saw in him the object through which this vengeance might be wrought. In a storm one night, John finds lying in the woods the figure of a beautiful girl, clad in bridal array. He takes her to the cabin of Old Abel, where Aaron Kidder comes to persuade her to his rooms. John goes after her, crossing the deadline for the first time since his childhood. John’t father tells John to either give up the girl or his home. The boy, feeling that he has done no wrong, will not give up the girl, with whom he has fallen in love. In a desperate fight with the man claiming to be Ruth’s husband, Mayo gets the truth. Old Abel kills Aaron Kidder, and all ends happily.
