MAORILAND THEATRE.

“VENDS OF VENICE.” Vonico . . ■ Carefree carnival crowds .... Eaeli gay gondola carries a cargo of romance! Love masquerading as a teasing, madcap sprite who upsets a love match and the whole police force of the swiming city! Merriest role of the famous star whom “Liberty” calls “the best comedienne on the screen.” Constance’s dive from a high bridge into the gondola of Kenneth (Antonio Moreno). A score of Ventian police sinking as Constance, swimming under water, pulls the plug in the bottom of the police gondola. Kenneth’s discovery of Carlotta leaving his home with many stolen articles and his subsequent fight, with. Marco.' Those are a few of the high spots in “Venus of Venice,” starring Constance Talmadgo, to be screened at the Maoriland Theatre on Wednesday night.

‘ • MON'S ’ —THE IMMORTAL RETREAT. GUNNER JENKINS COMING TO SHANNON. A notable film and a notable man are coming to Shannon on Friday in Britain’s first screen epic depicting the immortal retreat from Mons accompanied by Gunner A. G. Jenkins, E. Battery Royal Ilorse Artillery, who fired the first shot in the Great War. The picture was made with the full consent and co-operation of His Majesty’s Army Council. It is an amazing record perpetuating the deathless valor of the men who took part in the famous battle and subsequent retreat. The British Press from Land’s End to John O’Groats has proclaimed “Mons” the picture of the century. How faithfully it, must interpret that stupendous epoch in our history to merit such undivided praise from those who might welLcriticise it if they could. A talented private of the Army in Guuner Jenkins graphically- tells the story of the simple, heroic part he played, and not a phase of his life in or out of action in France has been overlooked by the wonderful producer of this wonder picture .
