Herbert Raw1inson and Walter
McGrail, as we'll as little Richard
Headrick, are in the cast support
ingsAnita Stewart in "Playthings of
= Destiny" the Associated First Ma
tional Pictures production which
will be the attraction at the Strand
theater, beginning today. Rawlin-
son has the role of Godfrey Arnold,
afterward the earl of Stanhope,
while McGrail depicts the part of
Herbert Randolph, who attains the
position of governor-general of
Jamaica at the conclusion of the
story.
Rawlinson is the first and only
true love of Julie Laneau, the char
acter portrayed by Miss Stewart.
They marry, but an unscrupulous
woman, aided by a shyster lawyer,
convinces Julie that she is but a
plaything of Geofrey's, that he had
a legal wife at the time he married
her. She leaves him. and a northern
blizzard raging at the time she de-
serts his cabin convinces Godfrey
she has persisted.
Randolph finds Julie unconscious
in the SHOWS and takes her to his
cabin. They are snowbound there
for six weeks, situation which
makes Geoffrey's wide search for
her futile. Randolph falls in love
with her, and Julie to protect the
good name Of her baby consents
to marry him.
When Julie meets Godfrey again
he holds Randolph's happiness and
ambition entirely within his power.
The climax develops rapidly from
this point, and it is one that gives a
most satisfactory ending to most
interesting and dramatic story.

No more romantic characteDs
have ever figured in literature or the
drama than the Royal Northwest
Mounted Police, the red-jacketed
bloodhounds of the pine-clad woods
who uphold the majesty of the law
beyond the circle of civilization.
This famous constabulary is known
the world over for deeds of courage
and bravery. The romance attached
to the members of this corps is the
center of interest in the latest
Universal feature, Man Trackers,"
at the Moon the first half of the
week.
The fact that this body of men
which maintains order throughout
the entire west, not only among the
whites and the Indians, but among
the more troublesome half-breeds,
is composed of only $50 officers
and privates, is quite remarkable.
The members of this force are armed
like soldiers so as to fight collec-
lively. yet each has individual con-
stabulary authority. The officers in
the service are also empowered to
act as magistrates, fact which
makes it possible to extend law and
order over such tremendous areas
by such a small force of men.
It is we'll known fact that one
mounted policeman has ridden into
an Indian camp containing hundreds
of armed savages and carried off
single-handed a member of the tribe
who was wanted on a charge of
murder. She r. N. w. M. P. is the
nemisis of all evil-doers throughout
the Canadian wilds.
