This fine programme will contain two' big attractions, both b&ing adapted from novels by popular authors. The first, is "Tho Heritage of the Desert," written by Zane Grey. This picture is said to on© of the mosu enteitaining made ol the famous novels. The cast is an excellent ■ one, featuring Bebe Daniols and Ernest Torrcnce. Aho in the cast are A'oah Beers- and Lloyd Hughes. In addition to these there, is a cast and company of over two hunared, and an entire tribe, of Xavajo Indians.

'"DON'T SHOOT" AND "THE' STOKM DAUGHTER." The new "bill which will commence at. the Strand Theatre to-day is headed fcy "Don't Shoot," tho Universal screen story starring Herbert Eawlinson. It is a story by G. B. Howard which clearly illustrates' tho fact, that it is not always tho honest people, the. "bettcr-than-.thou". element in the population which keep a criminal from starting a new life. It is many times simply tho fact that, his former accomplices in crime cannot get along without, him and will do everything in their power 'drag him ba-ck into" lower channels. In this story tic fellow who reforms is given a. chance by honest men, but his old boss in crime, a dishonest politician, calls him a "quitter" and tiies to put him. in t.bo penitentiary out of anger. The picture iB a, direct jolt to the popular conception ,of a, crook's troubles in reforming, which usually sees him beset on all sides by narrow-minded Eonc3t people trying to push him back. Priscilla. £)eau in "Tho Storm Daughter," is shown in support. It i 3 a story of Ka.te Masterton who sails a fishing smack with a. crew of two men ajid is run down by Brute Mbrgan, skipper of n. large sailing vessel.

Between badly navigating the ship aad making advances to Kate, both of which seem to bo beyond his control, he run 3 into a terrific storm. Tho ship strikes a reef. A strange feminine urge directs the jrirl Tiack to tho caloin to rescue the still unyielding skipper. Theso two are tho only, ones to cscapo to the island, Hero at dawn he realises that the woman is his superior and that lio loves supports include "Tho Ghost. City (chapter two), a comedy, "Yamped,'' and an International News.
