MAORILAND PICTURES.

I "THE GOLDEN STRAIN." j ' More than one thousand soldiers, all of the 10th U.S. Cavalry, many of whom have service records & 25 years and 'over, played prominent parts in "The Golden Strain," Fox /Kims version of Peter B, Kyne's gripping story, which comes to the Shannon theatre on Saturday. Drill scenes, battle sequences and other dramatic formations were said by experts to be the best of the kind ever attempted before the motion picture camera. And yet, it must be remembered that these men were aslced to forget modern drjll, they were forced to don strange clothing of a period long since forgotten, and they were compelled to drill with sabres now obsolete and clumsy in the extreme.

This regiment, famous for its willingness to go into action on the spur of the moment, has again distinguished itself —for in Pox Films it will be immortalized. Millions of men, women and children will see, in "The Golden Strain", the enlisted men and officers who have helped" make American history from Kansas to California. «.*MY OLD DUTOH." FOUNDED ON ALBERT CHEVALIER 'S FAMOUS SONG. Many noted players arc seen in the east of "My Old Dutch," which Lawrence Trimble directed at Universal City with May MeAvoy, Pat O'Mai ley, Cub Jen Landis and Jean Hersholt in the principal roles and which conies on Monday to the M'aoriland Theatre, Edgar Kennedy, noted director and delineator of "/'Heavy" roles, plays the villain of the new story. Others are Ag J nes Steele, Frank Crane, Rolf e: Sedan, Violet Kane, Donald Keyes, Zama Zamoria and little Sheila O'Malley, daughter of the leading man. three years of age, and as accomplished before the camera as is her famous father. Little Mary Kathleen p'Malley, 13 months old daughter of p'Malley, appeared in the early sequences; as the' baby tof the hero.of the story—thus playing her father's daughter before the lights. A time lapse occurs, and the chijd is shown' at the age of three. That is where Kathleen, second daughter, comes in. Both bear the, o'Mai-: ley features, so the illusion of the baby having grown up is perfect.,
