MAORILAND THEATRE.

DON’T' MISS “THE. SHEIK” TO-NIGHT. For magnificent scenes of sheer beauty, for dramatic acting, for colourful thrills one after another, for the great romance of the proud Eng;Lh giri and the man who ruled a great tribe, “The Sheik” (due in Shannon to-night) reaches the top notch of motion picture entertainment. To miss it is to miss one of the greatest pictures of all times. “HOOT GIBSON” TO-MORROW.

“Ued Courage,” a thrilling story of the West, starring the likable Hoot Gibson, comes to the local theatre on Saturday. Peter B. Kyne’s “The Sheriff of Ginnebar,” furnishes the story for “Red Courage.” Harvey Gates wrote the continuity and Reaves Eason directed this new Universal feature.

Hoot Gibson, with his infectious so rile and engaging personality, is at his best in “Red Courage.” Action, thrills, man-to-man fights, and an absorbing tender love story, furnishes the virile young star with a colourful background in which to smile his way through. - Probably the secret of Gibson‘jS (success is his ia,lmjost boyish naturalness.

The plot of tre story centres about Pinto Pete and Chuckwalla'-Bill, two lovable good-for-nothing Western characters, who, by a trick of Fate, come into the possession of ‘ The Panamint Gazette,” and with the aid and power of the press, proceed to clean up the politically corrupt Panamint. When the dust of the combat has cleared away, Chuckwalla Bill is mayor and Pinto Pete not only sheriff ,but the winner of the hand of Jane' Reedley, the niece of his defeated political rival. MONDAY’S FEATURE.

Syd. Chaplin comes back to the local screen on Monday night in “King, Queen, Joker.” The kingdom of Cononia is a beautiful country, the king of which is disturbed by rumours of a coming revolution. He refuses to grant the people a charter enabling them to trade with other nations, and a revolution is organised to secure his downfall. The chief plotter against the king discovers a barber's assistant who is the counterpart of the king, and he promises hint a fortune if he will do his bidding. The barber’s assistant agrees to the proposition, and that night the king is kidnapped and the barber takes his place in the palace, while the king is imprisoned in a. dungeon. Here is material for an astonishing comedy, of which Syd Chaplin makes the most.
