THE PICTURE WORLD.

EVERYBODY’S. ROY STEWART IN “THE MEDICINE MAN.” An elaborate plot is l 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 unflaggingly to the end, yet which is not characterised by any absurdly complicated story. In fact it is the straight-forwardness and sincere naturalness of it which constitutes it one of the most likeable pictures lor many a day. Roy Stewart plays the central! part, and the scenes me laid in beautiful and wild western landscapes. The story centres round the attempt of two questionable character to rob a young girl of the ownership of a mine whicJi is found to be very valuable. They are foiled by a gieathearted son of the west, .'-ho is perfectly portrayed by Roy Stewart. Ho makes the part very convincing and proves himself one of the host drilling stars on the screen. Those who like a natural story charmingly told and with a genuine heart interest, will aeree that this picture is one of these ivhich are more than worth while.
