It was woll played and mounted and d served very much better patronagy during its run here than it received. STRAND—Kee Tow Four.

Ted MacDonald, a vouth, who, brought up on his father's merchant vessel, is snddenly plunzed into the! hectic life of society, provides the; central figure. Minor films also are shown. METROPOLITAN—Strongheart, “Brawn of the North.” On that last day, when the angel Gabriel sounds his trumpet and all the hosts of this old earth gather for & final word of approval before being bidden to enter the pearly gates. Strongheart—and all, the others of his kind—will be there to amswer roll call. I not, then that mysterious place which we call heaven will not be the happy land of completeness we have believed 1t to be. For Strong- heart is a hero, a great police dog hero, with a long record of daring bravery and mighty deeds done in the world of affairs :“s well as in the world of gellatin m. a Strongheart is the hero of “Brawn of the North,” the photoplay at the Metropolitan this week, and he 1s “sypperted” by lIreme Rich and Lee Shumway as Marian Wells and Peter Coe. Brawn iy companion, confidant and protector of Marian Wells, a Joung woman of comparative wealth. | Whose brother has gone into the far horth with her fiance on a gold pros- | pecting expedition. Continuous de- mands from the prospectors for more Momey result in a final request to} turn everything into cash and go into} the north country herself So Marian ! and Brawn pull stakes and transplant, themselves to that far-oft land where | the snows never melt and the ground | is mever seen, where scrub pines and} hardy cedars are the only vegetation, Where only strong men and indemi- table women can successfully strug-; gle against desparate odds for a Ilvell-i focd—and where dogy become human | beings as well as beasts of burden and rapid transit corporations. Marian finds the man she is engaged to marry a degenerate drunk, umfit for human, - or even 4ok, soclety. ‘s instinctive dislike for him a climax when on the trail he is subjected to fiendish brutality. Which results in a fight between the two men, with Brawn as a third par- ty. The brother, unfortunately, loses his life and Howard apparently loses: his in an encounter with Brawn. But as is the way with bad men, they have a habit of surviving, and he is again this time consumed with Following the Marian bin oc- e and ° i the 1L i on_the job. & desire for revenge. disappearance of the two men, and ber dog stumble upon a cal cupled by Peter Coe, anoth | pector, who has been for five years Povond the sound of any veice save his own. The sudden possibility of companionship and escape from un- bearable loneliness turns him into & near brute in his determination to hold on to this providential contact with some one to talk to. Brawn likes him immediately, despite his seeming beastiality toward the girl. and in the eternal conflict betwean the ) Secking male and the shrinking fe- male it is Brawn who saves the sit- uation by getting himself caught ini a trap getting a paw badly In-} jured that medical attention is neces- Bary.

Rescue of the baby by Brawn from a hungry wolf pack adds the final star to his crown of glory and never agaln is it likely that his beloved mistress will forget her wonder dog in her love for her child. Lloyd Hamilton affords much amusement in his comedy. “Uneasy Feet,” and ‘the Pathe News and Re- view features include some beauti- ful scenes from the Yellowstone Yosemite national parks. Overture selections from “Lucta a1 Lammermoor” are _exquisitely ren- dered under the direction of Dantel Breeskin, with Cadman's “At Dawn- ing" offered as an encore number by request.
