MAORI LAND PICTURES.

THE HOLIDAY PROGRAMME. {TO-NIGHT. A genuine old-lasihioned circus in all its hectic glory forms the hack ground for "Single-Handed," the Universal production starring Hoot Gibson at the local theatre to-i Tight. SPECIAL CHRISTMAS NIGHT PICTURE. The management has made a careful selection for the .Christinas night programme and those desiring to finish the day appropriately will find that they can spend, a pleasant evening at the Maoriland. FOR BOXING NIGHT. "Pavpied" (the Boxing Night feature) is from a. s.tory by Frank L. Packard, amongi the best known oi America's writers of current fiction and especially dear to -motion picture devotees because of the success of his "The Miracle Man" as a photoplay. The tale is frankly melodrama as to make the picture stand out among the really worth while and artistic productions of the screen. The title comes from a series of pledges, either willingly or unwillingly, made by the principal characters. One pawns his life to the service of an international gambler. Another pawns his soul to. drugs, another to drink, and the .heroine pledges her hand in marriage as a loveless bride to save the man she loves. One. needs no further information to convince them that the 'working out of such a tangled skein is likely to result in intense and vivid photoplay action. Tom Moore and Edith Roberts are featured in the. interpreting cast.

WILLIAM FARNUM ON. THURSDAY. A powerful William Fox drama featuring William Farnum in "Moonshine Valley" will be screened on Thursday night,. It is /a gripping story of love, passion, remorse and finally forgiveness and happiness, and should hold the audience, from, start to. finish. ;
