II your weakness happens to
be scenery, you can give 1t fuH
rein at the Rialto this week
where Rin-Tin-Tin, the wolf dog.
is starred in the current picture,
Tracked in the Snow Country.
The production is somewhat above
the average for a film OF this
kind, and while the plot is thread
bare in spots, it has some saving
unexpected turns.
The high point in the picture
is the fight in which the hero,
the villain and the dog are par
tfcipants. This is done with very
effective realism.
The production is concerned
with the snow country ana the
dog is suspected of having turned
on his master and killed him. The
dog turns his back on man and
goes back to the wolves, but he
never forgets the man who did
kill the master. Everything turns
out movie-right in the end and
the dog again takes up his abode
