MAORILAND PICTURES.

SEE RIN-TIN-TIN-THE WONDER DOG, AND HELP THE TOWN BABY. * On Wednesday night a picture benefit is being given in the interests of the Town* Balby in the Carnival, and the management of the Maoriland have secured a very fine picture for the occasion, featuring Rin-Tin-Tin, the famous Master Picture dog of phenomenal intelligence. True love versus false love, a wonder dog in combat with a ferocious shark; a band of .rum-running desperadoes 'bent on eluding revenue cutter; kidnapping; close-in fighting, and the .unerring instinct of Rin-Tin-Tin, whose courage breaks up a dangerous gang. All this and more too is included in "The Lighthouse by the Sea;" Warner Bros.' "Classic of the Screen," the adaptation from the Owen Davie play of the same name.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY

CHARLIE CHAPLIN IN "THE GOLD RUSE." Shannon will have the opportunity this week of seeing Charlie Chaplin's latest "and greatest comedy, which has created a, sensation in the world's picture theatres. • It will be screened on Thursday and Friday to enable everyone to' see it in comfort. With that genius which is peculiarly hig own, and against the back ground of old Klondike fold rush days of Chapliiiesque conception, .the greatest screen-comedian has- depicted with suhtly tender and delicate masterstrokes the straggle of man's eternal hunt for happiness, its heartbreaks and tears and its laughter and joy. Charlie Chaplin of the derby, cane, baggy trousers, funny mustache and waddling walk who' has made the whole world laugh more than any other mere comedian that ever lived, lias 'built in "The Gold Rush" a delightful structure of fun and laughter. On the tragedy and (misery suffered by the pioneers who first journeyed to the ice-bound Alaska, and on the drama of the soul sufferings of the sduTdough who braved moutains, ice, snow and starvation and death in their mad rush for gold, Chaplin has built the funniest and most hilarious comedy of his career. He has clad himself in the role of a hard-luck sourdough who chases rainbows of the soul and heart in the midst of a mob that chases one, thing —gold and nothing but gold. Pathos and suffering are converted into comedy arid laughter—there is a laugh in every one of the eight thousand or so feet of "The Gold Rush."
