MAORILAND THEATRE.

“THE COUNTRY BEYOND.”

Olive Borden, noted Virginia beauty and star in Fox Films productions, will appear in Shannon on Saturday, when Irving Cummings’ powerful and dramatic photoplay, “The Country Beyond,” will be given its premiere presentation here.

Miss Borden, who is a versatile actress, appears in an exotic and colorful role. In the early sequences she wears nondescript garments —a fiery, yet pathetic figure of a girl, born in the Canadian Rockies and taken care of, after a fashion, by her guardians, who are shiftless French-Canadians. She attracts the attention of a New York theatrical producer, on a tour of the primitive forests of the Northland. He takes her to Broadway and in the course of time she becomes the vogue as a musical comedy dancer. In this sequence, Miss Borden wears strikingly original creations, which, in themselves are visual delights. “The Country Beyond” is Fox films screen version of one of the most appealing of James Oliver Curwood’s great novels. The host of readers who have followed this fascinating tale of love and romance will be delighted with of the country brougli home to them through the life-like medium of the camera.

ART ACORD AND HIS HORSE AND DOG.

In the wilds of the California mountains, near Big Bear, was the locale where most of “The Terror,” Art Acord’s starring vehicle, which will be screened on Monday was filmed. In these beautiful surroundings Cliff Smith, the director, guided his players through the action of an unusually dramatic tale of the West. Aeord, with his horse Buddy, and his dog Rex, proves again that he is one of the West’s outstanding horsemen, as he does feats seldom performed on horseback.

Daring rides up and down the mountain side and trips along dangerous mountain roads were the daily fare of the star during the “location” trip. Had his surefooted mount slipped at times both Acord and his horse would have fallen hundreds of fe.et to their death. .
