MAORILAND THEATRE.

".THANK YOU." What •countless trouble, what heartaches, what broken romances, what tragedies, can toe laid at the door of gossip! And when gossip is comtoined with open and active attempts to wreck the happiness of a family and blast the budding romance of a hopeful yiqung couple—-well, When you see "Thank You," which .opens on Saturday at the Maoriland Theatre, you will feel about the same way the-Rev; David Lee did when he oame to the climax of the events that make up the William Fox picture. Alec. B. Francis, as Pastor Lee, invests the character with rare charm and sympathy, together with a-whim-sical humour that 'is a most pleasing adjunct to his more somtore moments. FILM ACTRESS WINS PRIZE IN BEAUTY GODHIEST. Beautiful Ruby Blaine, who portrays the role oif the society girl in "The Miidnight Girl," won the .award at the national toeapty contest held during the last Democratic National Convention. During the time the winners were toeing picked, Miss Blaine had the occasion to meet all of the prominent .statesmen who were assembled at the Convention. Rubbing elbows" with the political elite is nothing new for the famous beauty. In -fact, Rulby . has been brought up in the midst of a hoitlbed of politics. Being -a descendant of James G. Blaine, .a former Secretary of State of the United States, and at one time a nominee for President, one can easily imagine the environment from which Ruby has emerged. Miss Blaine was -born .twenty summers ago' in the Pueblo Mountains in Colorado and boasts, of her ancestry who came .across on the Mayflower. She leads in "The Midnight Girl," due in Shannon on Monday.
