PLAZA THEATRE

A subject exceedingly well treated is being now screened at the Plaza Theatre in tue picture " ner One Mistake," Miss Gladys lirockwell j laying a dual part very cleverly. iho oniei characters are a pretty girl (the leaven of the story), a notorious crook, and a detective, and these three play important parts in a story of great interest. Gladys Brockwell is, in what f niay bo tanned tho first act, a wealthy heiress who is lured away by a crook, supposed to-be a wealthy man. Tho heiress gets badly taken in by puro front." Later the girl, having been stripped of her wealth, has to take up work with a city uitorncy, and tho crook comes under her notico for the second time m a court of law, where ho is convicted of an offence. This man has a young girl lover, who pleads for a farewell with him Sho only asks for an opportunity to do bo, and is helped by tho heroine. Tho crook makes good his escape, and later ia confronted by tile two woinen—a very awkward predicament for even such a man aa he is. What follows is intricate and interesting, and will repay seeing. It ia sufficient to say that the outline of the story so far given is but tho first chapter of tho book. What follows is stirring and impressive, end contains rrnie-h that is sensational and something that is pathetic. The assisting pictures are a Sunshine comedy and a very fino scenic.
