MAORILAND PICTURES.

RACE TRACK CLIMAX. The famous race track at Tijunan, the Lower California town just across the United States border, serves as a sotting for the thrilling race which brings to a climax the plot of “The Sunset Derby,’’ the First National picture to be screened on Wednesday .at the Maoviland theatre. The entire company spent more than a week in the Lower California- city filming the races, and used all the jockes and mounts which competed in the current racing season. William Collier, Jr., is the jockey of the story, and Mary Astor the girl in’ the case. tolstoy’s “Resurrection..” Tolstoy’s “Resurrection,” the flesh-and-blood drama of Prince and peasant, love sacred and profane, brings Rod La Roeque and Dolores del Rio to the screen of the Alaoriland Theatre on Friday, in the Inspiration-Edwin Carcwe film offered by United Artists. The most widely read classic of modern times, enjoyed wherever people read" books, translated from the Russian of Leo Tolstoy into eleven languages in the past thirty years, “Resurrection” is of unusual interest to film-goers because it is a drama strong and absorbing enough to have made Tolstoy beloved by the masses of the world." Edwin Carewe satisfies a sev-entcen-year-old ambition at last .in bringing to the screen this story, which, lias fascinated him since he played Prince Dmitri himself in a stock company in Kansas. Rod La Roeque is the star of “Resurrection,” playing the role of the Prince who sinned and sorrowed. Dolores del Rio is Katiisha Maslova, the peasant ward of his two maiden aunts, the girl whose love is defiled and sullied, only to be won again through the remorse of the Prince.
