McLEAN’S PICTURES.

‘‘BARBARY SHEEP,” WEDNESDAY

On Wednesday Mr McLean presents Miss Elsie Ferguson, the most beautiful woman on the stage or the screen. Elsie Ferguson brings with her a personality of glorious beauty and a dramatic talent that rises to the highest pinnacle of perfection, a combination which will not fail to make as powerful an appeal to the public in. Hokitika as does the art of any other artist on the screen to-day. Her first magnificent vehicle is “Barbary Sheep,” a graphic screen version of the famous novel by Robert Hicliens. It is the Artcraft’s acme of cinema artistry, and tells the story of a neglected wife—the gift of destiny placed in the hands of an Arab Chieftain—and of the husband, whose passion for sport blinded his eyes to his wife’s allurements.
