Show III-TEWS OF TE: LI" ATWIUM One of the big pleasing pictures of the season, "Nine Tenths of the Law," with the big stnr Mitchell Lewis will open a four days run at the local Or-pheum Or-pheum theatre beginning tomorrow night at 5 p. m. This six reel number presents one of the most human and altogether touching touch-ing stories that have come out of that paradise of story teller the North Woods. It is so big and simple in its conception and so direct in its development devel-opment that it will have almost universal uni-versal appeal. Child interest, intense mother love and stirring personal encounters en-counters between rugged men of the woods are features of tho tale, which is pictured in a wild region in perfect keeping with the story. The honors of the production go to Little Roughneck, played by a child called "Breezy" Reaves. This little fellow is scarcely more than a baby, but ho rises to the occasion in every sense, and this is a story which centers cen-ters largely about him. The plot as was set is simple, but effective. ef-fective. Leneau and his wife, who live in a cabin, lose their own baby early, in the story. Red Adair and his partner part-ner have kidnapped Little Roughneck who starts out alone while they are in j a drunken orgy. The child wanders over to Lenau's place and falls into t a bear trap, where he is found the next I morning. Leneau and his wife, still I mourning for their own child, at first refuse to give him up or look for his family. Later, after Leneau has had mortal combat with the kidnappers, he learns that Little Roughneck belongs to a judge living at Vancouver. Ho leaves his despondent wife to take the child back to the city. Then comes tho surprise finish, which is too good to spoil by simply relating it. This is a feature that will make its way wher ever shown. |
