ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Strand.

"The Masked Rider" a photopiay
with an element of mystery, combined
with sensational scenes in the moon
shine district" of the Carolinas, pleased
good sized audiences at the Strand
Friday evening. Harold Lockwood and
May Allison, two of the dashing ro-
mantle type of stars, are featured IN
the picture and as most of the scenes
are taken out doors they are given
plenty of chances to show their ability
in craftsmanship and gunplay.
Lockwood is cast as Bruce Edmunds,
revenue Inspector and also the
masked rider who assumes this title
for the purpose of. deceiving the Illicit
whisky distillers. or course. there is
the girl of the mountains, whose ia
Their is rough. but kind hearted. The
girls name Is Jill Jamison, and is
played by Miss Allison. The third
member of the cast of such a picture
is the member of the moonshine gang,
:Squid" Archer, whose attentions are
unwelcome to Jill.
With this cast it is not difficult to
imagine the story. Edmunds rescues
Jill from the attentions of the moon
sinners, incurs their enmity, later is
shot in a battle with ''SQuid", but in
the end captures the gang and marries
Jill. The picture is above the average
production of this type. as the acting
of the two principals is good, and the
scenic effects are we'll planned.
A cartoon depicting the adventures
of Col. Heezaliar precedes the picture.
