MAORILAND THEATRE.

“ TES3IE ’ ’—SATURDAY. . STARRING MAY MeAVOY. “Tessie. ” who gives rhe title to the picture, which is to be shown at the Maoriland Theatre on Saturday, is the girl in charge of the candy-and-cigar stand in a palatial hotel, in which not-too-arduous task she is 'assisted by Manic McGuire, who is as homely a i Tessie is beautiful, and who looltß with longing eyes upon the couptjees stream of would-be admirers for Avhcm Tessie has nothing but scorn, for her affections have been given .o Barney Taylor. Barney is not much to look at, and his job as a in a combined auto- , mobile'agency and garage does not net him all the money in the world, but h« ; has—or so Tessie thinks—a heart of gold and she loves him for it. Upon tins ground work is built a fascinating story, dram itised Avith excepGonal talent. “THE SET UP”—MONDAY. An unusual feature starring Art Acord will be the presentation on Monday night. “The {Set Up”'a Blue Streak Western is its title, it Avas taken from the story by L. V. Jefferson, “Horse Sense,” and features the uncanny cle\’erness of Acord’s horse and dbg. The plot commences Avith Aecrd in the role of a deputy sheriff, Avith his sweetheart \s father draAving 40,000 dollars from the bank and Avith the crooked banker’s plan to get the money. A whirlwind of action follows with crisis after crisis building up a tremendous climax. Action newer lags, according , to those Avho have seen pre-vieAvs of the picture, and holds the spectators tense until the fade-out. Direction was by; Clifford Smith whose name has become a by-Avord for excellent Western features. In his long motion picture career ! he had directed nothing but Westerns and is accredited with being the producer of as many as 200„features.
