Rural Scenery in Dixie Bill.

Southern Justice" at the Dixie to
day, is more than fifty per cent. South
ern atmosphere diluted by somewhat
auemic plot. We are first shown 9
series of views of Kentucky scenery
in such phases as the first spring
ploughing, the negroes at play arouno
the cabins and apple blossom time on
Southern plantation. The first indi
cation of a plot is the arrival OF vii
lain, (of course from the North) who
captivates the young belle OF the vii
lage and induces the townsfolk to buy
stock in a fake oil boom on property
which he has planted" with crude oil
brought in barrel. His scheme is dis
covered, the villagers threaten him
with tar and feathers and be is driven
from the town leaving the belle to 60
back to her girlhood lover and restor
ing the remainder of the village to its
accustomed placidity.
Myrtle Gonzalez is a dainty and Co
quettish heroine. Fred Church is plaus
ible as the villain and the remainder
of the cast is adequate.
