MAORILAND PICTURES.

LON CHANEY AS HIMSELF. Lon Chaney, "the man of a thousand faces," at last reveals the features that have never been seen except under, some grotesque, baffling disguise, in his portrayal of a grizzled Sergeant of Marines in "Tell It To The Marines," his latest picture, which comes to the local theatre on Saturday. This production is an immensely interesting drama of life in the Marine Corps. On shore, in barracks, afloat, in lonely tropical regions, and in wild Oriental countries, it depicts with amazing vividness the spectacular interest in the varied life of a Marine. MONDAY. "WILD TO GO." Bathing beauties are something of a novelty' in western productions, and a particularly sparkling novelty in "Wild to Go," Monday's feature. They are woven logically into the warp and woof of the story, and they add immeasurably to the interest. Tom Tyler lands in the covey of beach beauties via a long swim from the cattle boat on which he has been Shanghaied. He beaches his two hundred pounds of muscle and proceeds to pulverize a husky lifeguard who has attacked him for landing on this private strand — much to the delight of the boarding school misses who gather excitedly around the fighters.
