LAW OF THE NORTH
 IS AT HIP TODAY

"A mans a man and his past is his own north of fifty three" So runs the saying of the frozen country of the great northland.
 The Law of the North" which opens at the Hip today for a two-dav stay, is laid in the Canadian north west and is one of the great. red blooded pictures of the type of Gods Country and the Woman" that are so welcome a relief from the surfet of problem plays and society dramas.
 "The Law of the North recently played a record week at Clune's Bread way in Los Angeles and rivalled in it's reception the predecessor, Gods Coun- try and the Woman"
 It is the story of an English noble man who lives, despite the far north country, in luxury in his snug cabin in the snow. The lieutenant command ing the post has a beautiful daughter in London and she is announced to come to the north to help make the stay more pleasant for her father.
 Annessly with Emerson, young of ficer, await the coming of the only white woman with an eagerness that appears. Annessly has. been intimate with half-cast French girl who he has promised to marry A promise in the north country is law and around this promise centers the tragedy that
