MAORILAND THEATRE.

i * - "THE BLUE EAGLE." On Saturday night, William Fox presents "The Blue Eagle" at the Maoriland Theatre. It is a stirring drama that smacks of the seven seas, revealing the souls of those hardy fellows who follow the compass. "Don't see this picture if you have a weak hoart is William Fox's advice. It sends the blood racing through the veins from the first scene right to the crushing climax. "PRISONERS OF THE STORM." An unscrupulous villian on the scremi a collector of rare and valuable books in private life. That is the -laradox presented in the personality of Walter McGrail, the well-known actor who plays a prominent role iu "Prisoners of the Storm," the Universal Jewel starring House Peters, which comes to Shannon on Monday. The picture is based on one of Curwood's most famous novels, published under the title of "The Quest of Joan," and was adapted to the screen bv Charles A. Logue. ""Prisoners of the Storm" has its locale in the north woods, as have most, of the stories by this popular writer. It deals with the adventures of a miner, who is surrounded by a chain of circumstantial evidence, connecting him with murder of which.he knows nothing. Pursued by the relentless North-west. Mounted Police, he is involved in an unusually thrilling number of adventures before he can convince them of his innocence. The novel has been translated to the screen very faithfully, and carries no": only the spirit of the autho: 's story, but the spicy atmosphere of the Canadian woods.
