MAORILAND THEATRE.

BIG STAGE SUCCESS TO SCREEN LOCALLY. After enjoying immense success on the stages of five continents, "The Far Cry" comes next "Wednesday to the Maoriland Theatre as a screen attraction. The added colour necessarily afforded by the screen should make this virile story of modern matrimony a thing to be remembered. The picture is the more promising in that Blanche Sweet is to be seen as the roaming wife, and Jack Mulhall as the homing husband. These two players have proved their ability to get the very most out of such material that "The Far Cry" provides. Myrtle Sredman and Hobart Bosworth, also proved screen portrayers, are prominent in the big cast. "A WOMAN'S SECRET" In "A Woman's Secret," which Miss Mae Marsh made in London, and which is coming next Friday to the Maoriland Theatre, under a United Arb..«l*' release, the story was designed to bring out boldly both the comic and tragic elements which go to make up Miss Marsh's wide appeal. Thus beginning as a young and michievous girl in-an English boarding school, Miss Marsh as Dorothy Forbes, the daughter of a London merchant, matures into a young womanhood, that is fraught with unfor- j seen disaster and permits of an emo- I tional sway that rivals the famous court- i room scenes of "Intolerance." Indeed photoplay critics in commenting upon "A Woman's Secret," declared that the episode surrounding the trial 1:1 the "Old Bailey" court reached the highest point of emotionalism yet to be portrayed on the silver sheet.
