MAORILAND PICTURES.

IRISH HEARTS AND FISTS

It is seldom that one finds brusque manners and curtness being championed. But no less charming a lady than Rence Adoree, the fascinating little French actress, gives this as her opinion: ".One can't learn how to be grac.ious. If you must affect a stilted manner that passes in some circles for fractiousness, it is better to be curt, if this comes naturally to you. It is charming to be sincerely gracious. But there are so many people who affect this as a pose. They imitate someone whose manners impress them as charming. If you cannot be gracious, if you are naturally frank, then let others be charming while you are sincere." Miss Adoree .however, displays a charming graciousness in her role as an Irish colleen in "Blarney," the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture coming to the Maoriland Theatre on Saturday. Ralph Graves is also in the cast. "WRONG MR WRIGHT."

"The Wrong Mr Wright," the Uni-versal-Jewel starring Jeaja Hersholt, wliieh comes to the Maoriland Theatre, on Monday, is pure comedy and nothing else but, according to Hersholt. "Not only is it entirely comedy, but it is comedy unadorned by prevarication," explained the popular star recently.

"Why set a bad example by lying to get out of a tight place," he continued. "We don't He but we do employ some rather clever evasions to successfully beat the devil about the bush.

"One of the situations i» rviiich evasion is employed is when I meet my boy hood sweetheart after twenty years only to discover that she is fat and has two incorrigible children. She recognises me in the lobby of a hotel, but when she approaches me I answer to a page call for a "Mr Wright" and in assuming the cognomen many amusing incidents arc precipitated."' '' The Wrong Mr Wright'' was adapted for the screen from the stage play ..if the same name' declared by critics to be one of the laughiest farces overproduced. ;, Hershoit js surrounded by a sterling cast of fun-makers in the picture, includir.g among others, Walter Hiers, Enid Bennett, Dorothy Devore and Edgar Kennedy.
