MAORILAND THEATRE.

“ARE PARENTS PEOPLE?”

A picture claimed by youth! It is “Are Parents People?” which Malcolm St. Clair directed for Paramount, and which comes to Shannon on Saturday. Almost everyone connected with the picture is young. St. Clair himself is but 27 year© old, and is tlie youngest director in the Paramount Studio. In the cast the balance is decidedly in favour of players who have not reached life’s half-way, mark. Betty Bronson is a vivacious little being of but seventeen years. Florence Vidor, although she portrays the role of Betty’s mother, is, in every sense of the word, a young woman. Adolphe Menjou, who is seen as Betty’s father, was forced to age himself by make-up so he could look the father. Lawrence Grey, Paramount’s newest screen discovery, appears as though he has just graduated from collegeThere is. not- a gray-haired or a melancholy visaged person in the company. The spirit of youth reigns on the set with absolute supremacy. PRINCE OF WALES’ RANCH. SETTING FOR GIGANTIC WESTERN FILM PRODUCTION. H.R.H. the (Prince of Wales loaned his beautiful Albertan, ranch to the Universal Pictures Corporation for itihe filming of part of ‘‘The Calgary Stampede,” a Universal-Jewel. starring Hoot Gibson, which is coming to the Maoriland Theatre on Monday. ’ ", . Not only was. the most perfect ranch secured but the company also obtained exclusive motion picture rights to the great Calgary Stampedp held annually during the first week of July which was used as a background for at least half of the picture, Unusually romantic and colorful scenes were shot during the sampede 'but none departs from the story’, and a well-constructed plot holds the scenes together. The Prince of Wales’ ranch is one of the most beautiful-, spots in the world and, according to those who have seen previews of “The Calgary Stampede” the picture contains many exquisite scenic shots.
