MAORILAND PICTURES.

"ROSE OP THE WORLD." Melodramas may pall, mystifies may thrill, but a love story about real people, with real problems never loses its attraction for picture goers. That'i why the Maoriland is presenting the Master Picture, "Rose of the World" on Wednesday. You'll enjoy every minute of it! Eevenge! She had prayed for it, lived for it, thirsted for it! And then, when it was in her power to wreck the man who had jilted her for a richer woman, who had scorned her love for another's, what was it that stayed the hand? Don't miss this dramatic moment in "Rose of the World," the Master Picture.' REMARKABLE SCREEN-PLAY "STELLA DALLAS " Words, however exquisitely chosen, cannot always do justice to a splendid painting, a beautiful piece of music, or other work of art. But think of the wonderful sweet appeal in <" Over tho Hill," the romance and beauty of " Humoresque," and the poignant moving tragedy of "Madam X". . . then, and then only, can some" idea be gained of the feast of emotional grandeur contained in "Stella Dallas "—the remarkable United-Artists' screen entertainment, which has carried the critical audiences pf Paris, London and New York by storm, and now comes to the Shannon Theatre on Friday. "Stella Dallas" is no ordinary movie drama. It is a vivid recital, of the dreams; hopes, fears and ofttimes pitiably hum* orous disillusionincnts that crowd tho love-life of most" girls—revealed in a wonderful real-life.. story that should touch the sympathy of every father, mother, and daughter, in every city, town and suburb in New Zealand. It presents a truly unique dramatic performance on the part of Miss Belle Bennett, a famous American tragedienne who now makes her first appearance on the screen. In her company is Ronald Column, the brilliant juvenile■-*'•' actress, Lois Moran; and the entertaining character-actor, Jean Herscholt; as well as Alice Joyce, Douglas Fairbanks Jnr., and several others who have, in this remarkable picture, won newfound fame —mainly through the superb direction of the producer, Henry King.
