MAORILAND PICTURES.

i To-morrow night "The Floor Bei low," a story of mystery, will be un- , folded at the Theatre, and those in search of something out" of the ordinary should attend. j "Bound in Morocco" is the star : for Saturday night. It is a high-geared romantic comedy drama, travelling at the rate of a mile a minute all the time. The action has to do with the -Arabians, beauties of the harem, a rue: for life through the desert, lights with bandits, etc. The story makes it possible for Mr Fairbanks to present several dare-devil stunts that he created especially for his new picture. One stunt worthy of mention is a dive thai Doug, makes from the top of a high sand dune upon the shoulders of an Arabian rider, who is passing by on a swiftly speeding horse beneath.. This is followed by an exciting hand-to-hand light on the desert sands, which is exceedingly thrilling. Pursued across the burning sands of Sahara by Arab policemen, this boy, enjoying tin 1 race for life, tore off the miles in record-

breaking time, and left the "cops" enveloped in a sand cloud. Barred by a tribe of Jierco*bandits, he still grinned —drew his gun and topped'oft' about a dozen in double quick tine; laughing gleefully as he motors out of the melee, leaving the bandits sivering vengeance upon him. More pleasing incidents follow, and there is a great climax.
