“ZERO" ON SATURDAY.

A question that has oft-times been asked and has formed the basis of many a story is the query whether the past can be sent into oblivion. In Collinson Owen's great story, “Zero,” exciting dramatic circumstances arise through a man who believes that he can commence life afresh with the past completely forgotten, This book has been made the basis of one of the most thrilling photoplays ever produced . by a British Company. With such jfamous artists as Fay Compton and Stewart Rome play- • ing the leading roles, a clever supporting case was essential. Every character in this intriguing drama is depicted by An artist of the first rank. “Zero" will .come to Shannon on . Saturday*.

A RIN-TIN-TIN PICTURE. Rin-Tin-Tin never disappoints his audience. He is always there with the zest, the intelligence and the vigour which sends the crowd into roars of approval. In “Rinty of the Desert," he is shown as an outcast dog, who gets himself adopted by an old man Marlowe and his grand daughter Mary, keepers of a dime museum. On his own, Rinty adopts a family of pups, and all goes well until an enemy of Marlowe lures him away from home. Pat Casey of the police, Mary's beau, goes in search of the lost showman, with Rinty. The two are captured! A ferocious dog attacks Casey! Rinty is blamed and sentenced to be shot! These are but a few of the thrilling adventures which make up “Rinty of the Desert." The picture will be shown on Monday in Shannon.
