DRAMATIC STORY OF INDIA.

Bert- Lytell, the popular young Metro screen star, will be the attraction at the Maoriland Theatre on Wednesday next in “The Price of Redemption,” a picturisatioh of I. A. R. Wylie’s famous novel, “The Temple of Dawn.” The story of the Lytell picture is that of Leigh Bering, a young British officer who saved the garrison at Fort. Akbai\ India, from extermination during a native uprising, and is thereby acclaimed a hero. A year later in London he marries a wealthy girl, but it is a-'loveless., match. Thus disillusioned and turned to drink, he at length assumes another’s guilt and leaves London for India with the brand of murder upon him. Back in India, Dering sinks to the depths in drink and drugs. It is in this state that his wife, now married to another, finds him upon her journey to India, and it is his little boy .who awakens him to a sense of honour and shame. And bit. by bit, back to the clean world of clean men. It is the masterly portrayal of wrecked and regenerated humanity that en-dows-Mr Lytel’s creation of Leigh Dering with its truly great qualities, stamping it as a screen creation of permanent value. '
