The story of the ‘‘Master Mind” is written around the diabolical actions of a quaint in- giridual whose sole delight is in cast- ing his spell of disaster upon his vietims and eftentimes injuring the innocent as well as the guilty. He de- lights in appearing in odd characters and is adept at the art of makeup and disguises. [This quaint individual, the “Master Mind,” the formidable leader of a gang of notorious criminals and his one object'in life is to avenge - the execution of his brother for the mur- daer of his rival. He devotes his entire life to wrecking the career of the dis- trict attorney, who caused the convic- tion of his brother and eventually is on the verge of succeeding in his dartardly plot, but the love of a good gifl thwarts him and saves the prose- cufor, It is a moving picture drama ofithrills and tense moments.

This produces a strained which lasts several blocks." “Yes,” I couldn’t help putting in, “‘men are so absurd about street car tores.

Such a character is Ned Trent. The manne in which he plans his escape after We has been sentenced to “travel the sand route” is but a single thrill of many; his romance growing out of a fraud that he attempts is another. Between the thrills of his experiences and the development of his romance, M Broadhurst has woven some ver unique situations whieh grip an audi- ence at the very outset and hold it firmly in its grasp until the final cli- max. Harry Hollingsworth will play Ned Trent with the Poli Players, and a masterly presentation is confidently anticipated.
