EDENDALE
“MAN POWER” “Man Power” is all that the name implies in the Richard Dix Paramount picture, which comes to the Edendale Theatre to-night. It is said to be Dix at his best, in a fast-moving story, with suspense enough to keep audiences sitting on the edge of the seats. The story works up to a tremendous climax when the star, driving a tractor through a rainstorm, rushes up a hillside to save a dam threatened with
a washout. There is action from start to finish, and director Clarence Badger is understood to have worked up his situations skilfully. “Man Power” takes place in a small tOTvp. It deals with the adventures of a former tanks corps officer down on his
luck, who gets a job into which he puts his heart, because the daughter of the president of the company is the girl he loves. Throughout there is a strong vein of comedy. “Becky.” featuring Sally O’Neill, is the second feature on the programme.
