A whirlwind of comedy is promised in "The Boy Friend," to be shown at the Maoriland Theatre to-morrow evening. It features Marceline Day, John Harrow, George K. Arthur, and Gertrude Astor, and is a scream from start to finish.

WIDOWS."

Laughter, is declared by leading medicoes to be great-set cure of mental and physical ills. By this deduction anyone "attending "Beware of Widows." starring Laura La Plante at the Maoriland on Monday will get more benefit from its hour and a half of entertainment than from a dozen highly expensive visits to the doctor. There is un irresistible chaim abom Miss La-Plante, a very beautiful blonde with deep dimples that make her eyes •parkle. She is endowed with a deic.ions and rare comedy sense and is a finished actress.
