THE MEDICINE MAN
QUEEN'S AND KINO EDWARD TO-MORROW. An elaborate plot is not always necessary for a good screen drama. This is proved by the Triangle feature 'The Medicine Man,' "which grips the interest from the start, and holds it uniiaggingly to the end, yet which is not characterised by «av absurdly complicated story. In fact, it. is the. straightforwardness and sincere naturalness of it which constitutes it 0110 of the- most likeable, pictures for many a day. Roy .Stewart plays the central'part, and the. scenes are laid in beautiful and wild western landscapes. The story centres round the attempt of tw" questionable characters to rob a young girl of the ownership of a mine which is found to be very valuable. They are foiled by a great-hearted son of the Wf.'t, who is "perfectly portrayed by Roy Stewart. He makes the part very convincing, and proves himself one of the best lighting stars on the screen. Those who like a natural story charmingly told, and with a genuine heart interest, will agree that this picture, is ono of thohc which are. more than worth while. 2-Tie eighth instalment of 'llic House oi ftate.' will also be shown.
