MAORILAND THEATRE.

FOX FILMS TELLS OF WOMAN'S CRAVING FOR ADORNMENT.

From fig leaves in the Garden of Eden to the latest modes in Parisian gowfis, the beautiful Olive Borden tells the story of woman’s craving for adornment through the ages, in the fascinating story of “Fig Leaves ,, which will be screened in Shannon on Saturday. The picture, presented by William Fox, is gripping in its interest from the very first scenes in the Garden of Eden, where the demure Eve is carefully selecting a fig leaf with the wily serpent at her shoulder whispering temptations, to the exclusive shop of today where she is again tempted into a compromising situation by her love of the beautiful. In striking contrast to the dge of Innocence in the Garden is ' the fashion review where beautiful women display their charms in the elaborate styles of the day. These latter 'scenes are in-technicolor and prove a revelation of the possibilities of this medium for showing the color and texture of fine fabrics. > v The supporting cast includes the golden haired Phyllis Haver, who plays the part of t-he modern serpent and temptress, and Andre do Beranger, who gives an inimitable portrayal of the sinister owner of the Fashion Store.

“POKER FACES.”
