MAORILAND PICTURES.
" ALIMONY." ! Tho star picture to be screened at the ' Otaki Theatre on Saturday night is | "Alimony. ’’ This is the first of the 1 pictures released by the First National Exhibitors’ Circuit, and if the standard set by this wonderful production is kept up, the new trademark will be a welcome acquisition. "Alimony," as its name implies, deals with the practices that have grown up round the divorce courts in great modern cities, and is a pointed lesson on the results of making divorce too "free and easy." A society beauty who regards her husband simply as a banker, gets rid of him, but finds that tho young clubman on whom her hopes were centred is too wise to cast in his lot with her. He falls in love with a sweet and innocent girl, and the thwarted woman sets about a plan of revenge. So ingenious this is, and so complete is the plan for dividing the young couple, that it seems quite hopeless for things ever to right themselves. The settings are dreams of luxury, and tho play is crammed full of sensational incidents. Two very beautiful stars head the east. Lois Wilson as the young wife is adorable, and Josephine is an alluring and dangerously attractive schemer. Series six of the History of the War will also be screened, together with the Patho Gazette.
