, . TEMUKA PICTURES. When Rex Beach . wrotej: “The Goose Woman,” he founded the story on an actual murder 1 which stirred the Eastern part of.the ,U.S. some years ago. Rex Beach'followed the murder very close.ly, and then wrote a novel solving tse mystery after his own theory. This has been made into, a picture, and will be screened at Temuka ,to-night. In the picture version, Louise Dresser plays the part of the “Goose Woman,” giving a moving portrayal of the opera singer who Ipses her voice and slips down the stream otf intemperance to be regenerated oniy .after the murder is perpetrated. Supporting Louise Dreseer in the title role is Jack Pickfiord, Enid Bennett, and other popular actors. Tlie supporting pictures, include ,an .interesting New& reel and a,.good Comedy.

The American Indian Lae found a modern cKa’nipion in Isadora Bernstein, noted scenario'writer. For years Bernstein* has been -a close student of American hifetofy'; in its relation to the Indian and the treats inent he has received from * thehands of the white 'brothers, The result of this has been a powerful story entitled “The Red: Rider.” which has been adapted to the screen by Wyhdham Gittens . under the same name. Universal has produced 1 this remarkable picture, and its next Blue Streak Western offering starring Jack Hoxie, is to be seen at the Municipal Theatre, Germldine, on Wednesday/' .Tile i story, beginning in the days when the Indian ruled America, shows the inroads of degeneracy in the Red Man that followed the coming of the whites. Bernstein shows the early traders receiving large pieces of .land and other valuable concessions in return, for “firewater,” which gradually wore dowii the physical and moral fibre of the Indian. The supports include two Coniedies and International News.
