MAORILAND THEATRE.

AN OLD FAVOURITE PICTUIUSJSD. "Harbour Lights" is one of the most exciting and breezy plays ever written. The work of George R. Sims and Henry Pettitt, it was first produced at the Adelp'hi Theatre, where it took London by storm, running continuously for two years. Three years later it was revived at the same theatre, and has since been one of the most popular of dramas in nearly every town in the British Isles, to say nothing of America, the Colonies, etc. The Master Picture version has one special point of poignant interest about it. The agreement to sell the picture rights was the last that George R. Sims signed before his death.
