MAORI LAND THEATRE.

THE ETERNAL QUESTION-

WEDNESDAY

While it has always been Norma Talmadge’s good fortune to appear in film successes, she has never had a bette? opportunity to display her many-sided talent than in “Yes or No.” Not only does the fascinating Norma depict, both the society- woman who said “yes” and settled 'the moral score with her butterfly life, and the contrasting role of the hardworking woman of the poor man, who had the moral courage to say “no,” and as a consequence reaped peace and happiness, but she manages to look as beautiful in ugly clothes as she does in gorgeous plumage. Natalie Talmadge, too, played a dual role, alternating as the society woman’s maid and the poor woman’s sister. Considering her inexperience, the youngest member oi the Talmadge trio shows a remarkable appreciation of her dramatic opportunities. “THE ROSARY'* ON FRIDAY....

“The hours I spent with thee, dear -heart——” Is there any soul who does not know, or has not heard these words of the famous poem and song? They furnished the inspiration for the strikingly successful play of Walter Howard’s that has been adapted to screen requirements. The result is “The Story of the Rosary,” to be screened at the local theatre on Friday night, an all-English master production, with a cast of the most prominent actors in England, headed by Malvina Longfellow, a true type of English beauty, and whose ' remarkable ability in roles of the emotional type has placed her amongst the first rank of screen stars of England. The production is lavishly presented, the locale being a principality of Centra! Europe, thus furnishing opportunities for picturesque and colourful dressing. The plot works up to an astounding climax with true dramatic value, and its tensity is never lowered throughout the production.
