MAORILAND THEATRE.
“KISMET.”
The long-heralded production "Kismet,” with Otis Skinner, has at last reached this town, and is billed is the special attraction ; oh Wednesday. The picture has been well named the “Thousand and Second Arabian Nights.” Gorgeous in setting with its magnificent Eastern palaces, its seductive harem dances, the beauty of ancient Bagdad at the bathing pools—it is a never-to-be-fdrgotten picture. The story tells of Hajj, ih- 1 beggar who sat on a stone (the heritage of his forefathers) and dreamt his dreams of a hoped-for glory. Tije.it eamfe the day when all his hopes and desires were to be fulfilled. He \as appointed high in the office of the Caliph, his daughter was to marry a Great One of the land—then with toe setting of the sun his magnificence and glory was shattered like ’.he Apple of the Desert, which, though beautiful in appearance, crumbles to dust at touch.
