OCTAGON THEATRE
That picturesque old-world island of romance, tho Isle of Man, concerning which and its people so many fascinating tales have been written, serves as the scene for the enactment of " The Deemster," Hall Caine's widely-read book, the film adaptation of which is at present attracting large and well-pleased audiences both afternoon and evening to the Octagon Theatre. Splendid yet veined with the deepest pathos and culminating in a noble sacrifice and atonement, tho story presents in a lucid manner tho strange events arising out of a collocation of circumstances involving an overlording Deemster, Ewan, his son, Mona, his daughter, and a dignified bishop and his son Dan. The characters are finely drawn, and in the direction of settings nothing fur- ~ ther could be desired.
