MAORILAND THEATRE.
“FORBIDDEN CARGO.” “Captain Joe,” pretty daughter of Captain Drake, is commander of a rum-running launch, known as the “Josephine,” plying over the sea to prohibited United States territory. His faithful services to the Government have been completely ignored, and Captain Drake has grown into a bitter, cynical old man. Second in command of the “Josephine” is Petro Castillino, a fiery Spaniard, who covets Joe’s personal favour. Louisiana Smith, proprietor of the Cave, a popular cafe in the city, is in the midst of celebration when Joe' and Petro arrive before departing on another trip. A stranger, discovered to be a member of the Secret Service, is disgusted at the fuss made over Joe. As a revenge she lures him to accompany her to the docks where he is set upon by members of the crew and taken aboard. These are the characters and the scene in “Forbidden Cargo,” to bo screened on Saturday,, and they give every promise of a thrilling stoiy.
