Commencing with a* Fox News, which is one of the most engrossing of its kihd, containing some remark- ■ able trick photography in . which streets and buildings turn upside down and dissolve into each other in the most grotesque manner, the attention of the audience is then focus sed on a short subject showing how logs are handled in the frozen forests of Canada. Here the lumber jack is seen riding the logs on a river in rapid flood., Then follow's the star picture'“While Justice Waits,” in which Dustin Farnum plays a vigoi-

’ ■ ousi part, in which some pretty work on horseback and some gun play is indulged in. Some child parta are introduced, also a. kindly old priest and a mission church, which lend beauty and realism to the picture. The concluding subject is a Sunshine

comedy, in which the usual ludicrous and death-defying stunt® and unex- \ pected! happenings provoke both laughter and wonderment.
