SHORTT'S THEATRE.
One of the most vigorous photoplays screened for some time, "The Valley of Silent Men," will be shown at Shortt's Theatre to-day. Alma Rubens occupies the stellar role in the character of a. Canadian girl who loves a corporal in the North-west Mounted Police.- The latter, believing himself to be dying, confesses to a murder he did not commit in order to shield the girl's brother. Law Cody, playing opposite to the star, gives a very fine rendering of the character he portrays. Others in the cast are George JSTash, Joe King, and Mario Majeroni. The second feature on the programme is "The Ghost Breaker," in which Wallace Reid and Lila Lee play the leads. The.picture is.described as melodrama with modern trimmings. In addition to clearing out a lot of ghosts in a feudal castle in Spain, the hero experiences a thrilling fight in a New York elevator, and chases a liner across the Atlantic. The supports are varied and include a Burton Holmes travelogue and an American Gazette. Special music has been arranged in connection with the screening of the new programme.
