The story is set I in Paris during the tumultous days of 19-IS, when the whole world waged war. , Betty Coinpson is seen in a remarkable dual role of the notorious dancer and simple country maiden. Feats of daring by air .pilote. duels in the air and aeroplanes crashing to earth in a sheet of flames are ; some of tlie incidents in this 'wonderful picture. Theodore Kosloff and Wallace McDonald supports Betty Coinpson. Good comedy, gazette, and scenics ' • are included in the programme. "THE HOME MAKER." King Baggot, one-time idol and favourite of millions of movie fans, who, since his retirement from, actual work before the camera, has been directing /the making of pictures for Universal, is enthusiastic over "The Home Maker" a Universal-Jewel production coming to the Maoriland Theatre on Monday. It features'Alice Joyce and Clive Brook supported by an excellent cast. i . As a rule directors take the business of turning out pictures as a matter of course, but in "The Home Maker," which is the screen version of Dorothy Canfield's novel of the same name,' "Baggot believes that Universal has given movie audiences something ' new to think about.' This something new is to be found in the manner in which Hhe picture ends.
