MAORILAND PICTURES.

SCENIC GRANDEUB. IN "FRIVOLOUS SAL," The scenic grandeur of Rainier National Park in Washington is woven into the background of J. K. McDonald's First National picture, "Frivol- | dus Sal," which comes to the MaoriI land Theatre on Wednesday. The company, numbering thirty-eight persons with three cars of equipment, left Hollywiaod in the middle of August They had just missed a heavy fall of snow on the summit when they arrived at Paradise Inn, the nearest habitation to the majestic peak of Rainier. The mountain was blanketed with white far down its slopes and the motion picture company, onlv three days from the ..■semi-tropi-cal'summer of Southern California, found itself witliin easy walking distance of mid-winter. Wonderful shots were taken of the heaJiitiful country surrounding Mt. Rainier, and the company thoroughly enjoyed their sojourn into the land of perpetual snow.

"FEET OF CLAY." "Harpooning sharks" is a new and exciting beach game which leading summer resorts are now advertising, thanks to the movies. "Harpooning sharks" caught the attention of those who. control popular beaches when Ceceil B. De Mille introduced it as a feature of his new Paramount picture "Feet of Clay," part of which was Mimed at Catalina Island. The game is played with a padded target in the semblance of a floating shark; with concentric circles marked with various figures. The players are girls in bathing suits carrying ribbon tufted harpoons and mounted on forty-mile-an-hour speedboats. As the crafts dash by, the game is to stick the harpoons in a high score marking. "Feet oif Clay" opens next Friday at the Maoriland Theatre.
