MAORI LAND THEATRE.

“SANDRA.” A strong tlieme is offered in “Sandra,” Barbara La Marr’s latest First National picture to be shown at the Muoriland Theatre ,on Wednesday. Acting in the title role, Barbara is depicted as a woman with a restless heart. She craves love, yet she knows not where to find it. Her quest carries her throughout the capitals and gay spots of Europe, and she meets with numerous novel experiences. Yet the real love she seeks is not to be found. Finally Sandra returns to hexhome town, and there she discovers love right on her own doorstep. Bert Lyte’ll is Miss La Marr’s leading man, and the couple have an admirable supporting cast. “PLEASERE MAD.”

Mr Reginald Barker has scored another great triumph in “Pleasure Mad,” the most recent picture filmed by the man who has directed such masterpieces of screen art as “The Eternal Struggle,” “Hearts Aflame,” “The Storm,” and “The Old Nest. The new production brings him back to his favourite field of - domestic drama and is certain to add new lustre to his name. “Pleasure Mad” tells a deeply moving story of the danger that lies in the sudden acquisition of wealth by a poo-r, but previously contented family. Mary Alden, cast in the role of mother, is equally as good as the husband. The intensity of. the drama, with its happy combination of heart, interest and rapid and thrilling action,'is well adapted for giving both these sterling players unusual ‘Opportunity for displaying their histrionic talents.
