SHORTT'S THEATRE.
Prom the initial screenings of "The Great Redeemer," at Shortt's Theatre, crowded' houses have derived much enjoyment. This latest production by Maurice Tourneur has created a big impression, and in it there is found a moral message of power and profound conviction, Laid in a picturesque western setting, it narrates the high lights in the career of Dan Malloy, a train bandit. Pursued by a sheriff's posse, he takes refuge in tho mountain cabin of a beautiful young girl. They* come to love each other, when a pal induces Dan to have another try at holding up the mail train. This he does, but is captured and sent to prison. There the work, of reform begun by the girl is completed when a miracle happens in the cell, and Dan finds his. soul. House Peters and Marjorie Daw give excellent impersonations. "The Great Redeemer" is no .ordinary photo-play ; it is a rare treat.
