PEERLESS PICTURES.

Carmel Myers in “The Dangeious Moment” will be shown at the Town Hall to-night. The big attraction at the matinee on Wednesday and again on Wednesday night is Ralph Ince De Luxe feature, “Red. Foam,” with an all star cast including Zena Keefe and Huntly Gordon. Andy Freeman is one of the most popular men in Buckeye Bridge. He is the travelling representative of agricultural machinery. He is a “hail fellow, well met” and a great favourite with the ladies. Therefore when he announces the intention of making Buckeye Bridge his permanent residence, an dalso is bringing his young wife there to make a home, for him, "the announcement is received with great acclaim by the people. In

the same community, there has recently arrived Arnold Driscoll, who, by modern methods and good business application, is making a success. A.though Driscoll furnishes employment to many people, he is decidedly unpopular. Unknown to the community there was another eal reason for And.' Freeman’s decision to bring his wife to Buckeye Bridge—revenge. His warped imagination had conceived the thought that by forcing his wife to see Driscoll every day, he would cause her great mental anguish, as he bad discovered that in years gone by, Driscoll and his wife had been sweethearts, but had parted through a quarrel. The true facts of the case are known only to Freeman, his wife and Driscoll. Not by word or act is tuo situation made known to the towns folk until Freman, by sly machinations, stirs up a general feeling that, he is being made the pitiable victim of a soulless villain and a shaineless woman.* Therefore, when Andy Freeman is found shot dead and Dnsco II is discovered with a. still warm revolver; the entire community resolves itself into a self-constituted judge and jury ,and decides io take the law into its own hands. Driscoll and Mrs. Freeman arc tarn from the protection of the sheriff, and thp law he represents, and are standing at bay before the infuriated mob.
