•‘THE WANING SEX.” Norman Shearer 'is probably the most, accomplished woman athlete in motion pictures. She has attained a surprising standard of skill in tennis, swimming and golf, and has gained an enviable reputation, as'a speed motorist. Though in her other pictures she has had little opportunity of displaying this .prowess, her latest starring vehicle, “The Waning Sex,” more than atones for past omissions. In it she swims and dives and plays tennis in a manner that compares inori than favourably with the most highly trained male athletes. She is the embodiment of feminine grace and ease. “The Waning Sex” is a droll comedy romance with a modern vheme as its foundation. It AvillT come to the Maoriland Theatre on Saturday.
MONDAY. In thpse days of modern civilization, it :'s nard to realize that there are still places on the* globe where a white man is in constant danger of attack from savage natives who retain that primal instinct to kill or be k lied, This condition still prevails in parts of British East Africa and it is this background that Cynthia Stockley, the noted author, has taken for her latest story, “The Claw,” the screen versionof which will be shown at. the Maoriland Theatre on Monday. Mrs Stockley has woven a powerful theme around the lives of a beautiful English girl, an English army officer and the scion of a noble English family, who are transplanted by the die of fate from the calm and dignity of London to the African veldt. Claire Windsor and Norman Kerry are eb-starred in the picture while the other end of the triangle is portrayed bv Arthur Edmund Carew.
