“TRIFLING WITH HONOUR” ON FRIDAY. Thq most precious tiling you possess is your honour; to give up honour is to give up all. Luis is the theme of McNutt’s .story which is woven around “The Gas-Pipe Kid,” an escaped convict, who utilises the one good thing he has learned in prison—baseball— to set-himself right with tiro world and becomes the sensation of basbali circles. Rut .he can’t stand prosperity and it isn’t long before he is. in the clutches of a gang of baseball gamblers. His orders are to throw the last and deciding game of the series or go back to the yawning. penitentiary. From this situation he is saved l>y little Jimmy Hunt, a messenger boy, who beseeches him to protect his good .name and keep his trust with all the kids in .America., who look upon him as ait idol. There’s a girl, too—a girl who waits while he is in prison and then keeps on waiting after he has escaped from prison, and has apparently “passed her by.” In ail, “Trifling with Honour” is a, human drama, depicted by human beings and chock full of human situations.

“THE MAN FROM LOST RIVER.”

The great north-west woods are really the central influence in the latest Goldwyn picture, “The Man From Lost River,” which will be presented at tbe local theatre tomorrow. The action of Katherine Newlin. Burt’s photoplay takes place in a lumber camp where the men. lead crude lives close to nature. The softening influence of a woman is absent, though in the camp dwells an orphan girl, the pride of the men. Into this group comes a sophisticated Easterner who falls in love with the girl and marries her. * The dramatic conflict entwines the camp foreman, who has silently adored the girl all the while; and it is the unworthiness of her husband in a time of crisis that bestir removes him from the scene and shows the girl -the worth of a nolbie man’s love.
