THE MAORILAND PICTURES.

RICHARD DIX IN “MANHATTAN.”

Jeffrey Farnol's delightful novel, “The Definite Object” has been made into the Paramount picture “Manhattan.” It tells the story of a bored millionaire who tries to find adventure in the slums. He wanted excitement. His life of idle luxury did not give all he wanted and painting the town red had lost its fascination so 'he turned to the underworld. See Richard Dix and Jacqueline Logan m the picture at the Maoriland Theatre on Saurday. “STELLA MARIS.” “Stella -Maris” is the graphic love story of two men, loyal friends', and a beautiful woman, crippled since birth, and the supreme sacrifice of a lowly slavey who, loving one of the men 1 with a dog-like devcition, sacrifices her life -to gain his happiness. • Miss Mary Philbin is seen m both roles —in one as the beautiful invalid, fragile as a piece of Dresden anna —the other, a coin'se scrubwoman whose beautiful soul finally triumphs over every handicap of environment and appearance. From the grief-torn mail>voman of “The Hunchback off Notre Dame” to a sinister, vainpiri-sh woman of middle yea;B is the gamut of roles playr ed by Gladvs Brockwell in the picture,‘which is Mary Philbin’si biggest feature since “Merry Go- Round,” and comes to Shannon on Monday.
