MAORILAND THEATRE.

\ ■ s__ "BLUEBEARD'S WIVES." Three popular stars'of the screen will dc seen in Robert- T. Kane's "Bluebeard's Seven Wives." which will be shown to-morrow at the Maoriland Theatre. This trio consists of BlancheSweet, Lois Wilson and Ben Lyon. The picture is said to be an unusually diverting comedy, tracing the highly coloured career of a bank clerk, John Hart, who, by dint of good acting, and clever publicity, beco emca JnuDszti* clever publicity, becomes Don Jnan Hartez on the silver screen. The picture derives its title from the idea evolved by Don Juan's press agent, who in a sensational endeavour' to make his charge famous, determines to marry him as many times its was-the original Bluebeard. "And all this is quite distasteful to Don Juan, because he is one of those fellows who,is very much'in love with a certain plain little ,girl —a waitress! How lie manages Lo escape his seven "wives," and how finally he diseai'ds lm character of Don Juan Hartcz, and goes back to just plain John Hait, form the humorous chain of events that constitute the picture. "OLD CLOTHES." A welcome surprise awaits the patrons of the Maoriland Theatre on Friday, when "Old Clothes" featuring Jackie Coogan, will be shown. Kelly and Ginsberg fare Jackie Coogan and Max Davidson. In addition, the cast includes, Joan Crawford, beautiful new / screen find; ;Alan Fojrrest and James Mason, not tc mention Dynamite. Through the efforts of Kelly the firm of Kelly and Ginsberg came into a respectable fortune. Through the efforts of Ginsberg, "Old ClotheV' opens minus that fortune, though its face value s is inscribed On a big block of/Vis* a cop- .. per stock,-,now worthless, held by the ■firm. They soon forget the .flown rich- . es, however, -with the advent of a beautiful young ghl, a stranger to New York, "whom they "adopt." In a series of thrilling arid hilarious adventures, Tim finds li?r a rich husband, and, in ;., the-■excitement, a sweetheart for Gins berg. Finally, before the -wedding, Vista stock takes a sudden rise and all is well.

The highlights and shadows of real life are blended skilfully throughout, and one's sympathies are chained 'by links of laughter to that : wonder - firm, Kelly and Ginsberg.
