MAORI LAND PICTURES.

"THE UNKNOWN” ON SATURDAY.

In keeping with the letter ui sagacious critics that the supreme test oi a successlul photo-play should he characterised in the first instance bv a good story replete with action, “The Unknown” a..t the local theatre on Saturday has certainly fulfilled that requirement. Full of swift, bristling action, there is a strong love interest quite different from that heretofore attempted. We also find a relieving touch running through the entire picture that buoys one up for the startling events that are in .all details gripping,, impassioned and mystifying. “TiHE MASTER MAN.”

Well-devised and cleverly acted, melodramatic situations characterise “The Master Man,” a picture of love and politics which will be screened on Monday, starring the screen’s greatest character actor, Frank Keenan. In “The Master Man,” Mr Keenan simply excels all his previous records for superb character acting, and as the Attorney-General of the State, he is seen as the “big man,” who through a slip of one of the cogs of his vast political machine finds himself accused with a. crime which one of his tools committed accidentally.
