THE MAORILAND THEATRE.

"ROLLING HOME." Reginald Denny has definitely taken a position among the very few great comedians of the screen. He stepped into it first with "Oh Doctor.'' He convinced a great maiiy picture fans of his eligibility in "I'll Show You the Town," "Where Was I," "What Happened to Jones" and other pictures. But in "Rolling Home," his latest Universal production, which will be screened at the Maoriland Theatre on Monday, lie leaves no ground for argument on the question. "Rolling Home" is, without doubi Denny's funniest picture since he stepped into feature farce comedies two years ago, and he has eclipsed all of his previous perfoimances. Starting with a bang and a hearty laugh in tho opening scene, "Rolling Home" rolls homewards, gathering laughs as it goes, like a snowball gathers snow.

Situation is piled upon situation, with the comedy growing at each new scene, until the audience begins to wonder vague)y if the hero ever can be extricated from the hopeless tangle in which he has become involved. He has been fluffing his old homo town, and learns for himself the truth about the "tangled web" which on > i-pirs when one first attempts deception. Just when he has the difficult situa fion nicely in hand, his whole house o" cards is toppled over by the cold blasi of truth. But the ingenuity of tin director and the scenario writer pull, the situation out of the fire in a whollj logical manner, and the hero finally finds a way to make good his bluffs. The second feature 'is "The Browi. Derby," with Johnny Hines in tin main role.
