PLAZA THEATRE. A big drama of the North-west, entitled ' North of 53,' beads the. programme released for the first time at the Plaza. Theatre to-day. Tho title, as may be imagined, is founded on the well-known line "There's never a. law of (bxl or man. runs north of fifty-three,'' and the doings of Roaring Bill Wagstalf, a trapper or the north-west, more than supports that- sentiment. Roaring Bill is played by Drutin Fainum. who has already done some splendid \lii-kan pictures, while d-ainty Wini-fi-e-'! Kingston takes the part of the city :-«•. ::"gra-pber, whoso path crosses that of Roaring- Bill. Though ■ unaware of each other's existence afc the time the story opens, they aro later brought together in an unusual way. The trapper falls headlong in Invi' with the girl, but believing him to be a murderer she disdains to have anything to do with him. IJbwevcr, Roaring Bill doe? not allow so slight ai thing as the lady's disfavor to baulk him, so ho takes the. law into his own, hands and carries her away to a lonelv Inn.

R. Marfin, the colored American basso, contributed songs and received a most, enthwia.stiio reception. "lire same pictures- will be screened tin's evening.
