MAORILAND THEATRE.
"ANY WOMAN,"
When a girl of high breeding, education and glorious beauty, but without 6d worth of knowledge of hOw to make a living, is suddenly thrown upon the world, the result is always interesting. What happens is sure to be dramatic. Alice Terry begins in such a predicament in "Any Woman," Arthur Somers Roche's story, which Henry King directed for Paramount.
Miss Terry has a difficult, exacting role, but as usual she handles it with such intelligence and sympathetic understanding that she comes through with flying colours. The supporting players include such well-known screen favourites as Henry Kolker, Lawson Butt, lames Neil and Marga-rita-Fischer.
The fact that Henry King directed the picture is a guarantee 'Of its excellence from a production standpoint, in all of its- technical particulars, the photoplay, shows scrupulous care, and attention. 1 It will be shown at the Maoriland on Saturday. "THE RED RIDER."
At last we have the real Indian picture. It is titled "The Red Rider," the Universal-Blue Streak Western starring Jack Hoxie, that is to be screened at the Maoriland Theatre on Monday. "The Red Rider" is not merely a picture story of Indian massacres for through it runs a pretty little romance and some comedy. It is unique in that most of the principal characters portrayed are those of Indians. Several hundred real Indians were used in the making of the picture which is full of many thrilling situations. There are attacks on fort, trading post-, and wagon trains and a tense moment when the Indians finally turn on White Elk and prepare .to burn him at ithe stake. There is an equally, tense 1 moment when the Red men start Lucille Cavanagh down the river in a canoe intending that she. toe drowned in the rapids as an offering to the Great Spirit. There is an interesting prologue, the period being, 1840, with the acion of the main story taking place in 1860.
