MAORILAND PICTURES.

"NOTORIETY,,^

Picture patrons who are tired of make believe and want true to life screen stories, will get their fill in the eight reel society drama of a ain who fell for false flattery. The picture looks as if it were taken from, real lile, and is called "Notoriety." Six favourite stars and a brilliant director makje this production stand out head and shoulders above the average. Yet it is a fact that Mary Alden' at the sacrifice of her'natural youth! has struck to her (particular talentplaying maternal iroles only. "Notoriety" will be screened at the Maoriland Theatre on Saturday evening. There will also be a special children's matinee at 2.30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon when every child undfecr two years will receive a free tin of Glaxo. "DON QUICKSHOT."

A beautiful white pony stood on the edge of a coulee in the Salmon river cattle country arid watched the dawning of a new day. Six months later he stood in a motion picture studio'. The pony is "Scout," Jack Hoxie's favourite saddle horse, used by thle famous cowboy in his latest starring vehicle for Universal, "Don Quickshot of the Rio Grande," which is to be shown at the Maoriland Theatre on Monday. The transition from an unbroken range pony to a trained saddle horse of the scren within six months' time is the most remarkable achievement of any pony, in filmland, say thei boys who "ride" in pictures. Hoxie says that his saddle horse has almost human intelligence and that that intelligence, coupled with an uncanny sure-footedness, has saved the rider from many -a tumble in dangerous riding in rough country during the filming of the picture. "Scout" is half Arabian and half cayuse, the Indian term for range pony, and his hjeauty has made his owner the most envied cowboy in pictures.
