SHORTT'S THEATRE.
The new programme presented at Shortt'.s Theatre yesterday -was headed by a strong melodramatic production entitled "God's Country and the Law," a picture portraying, in realistic fashion early liEe in California. It is adapted from the masterful book by James Oliver Ourwood, and follows in faithful manner the story of the noted novelist. The central figure is a renegade Frenchman, Jacques Dore, who knows no law, and threatens, by his actions, to wreck the lives of two French lovers who aro unfortunate enough to cross his tracks. Dore presses his unwelcome attentions on the young wife, who in order to save her honour, throws herself into the ruging torrent of a swollen river. She is rescued, however, and before long she sees her assailant pay the penalty of his misdeeds. Exciting episodes abound throughout tho production, and the climax is a thrilling one. Supporting the main picture are several films of an interesting and amusing description.
