MAORILAND PICTURES.

«« WOMEN LOVE DIAMONDS.! '

A poignant drama, set in surroundings that spell joy, revelry and the pleasures of the idle rich—tins is the paradox, in "Women Love Diamonds, the remarkable, new picture to be screened in Shannon on Saturday. It is set in fashionable apartments and millionaires' estates; it shows the outward joy of the life of the idle and then"—what a tragedy! The tinsel and glamour have been taken from social life in this sensational drama—and human souls, are shown writhing ini tetters of gold. It is monumental. Pauline Etarke scores a triumph in tie new picture. Owen Moore plays the hero, injecting his whimsical humour and human understanding into a difficult acting part as the chauffeur-lover in a strange tangle of human destinies. Douglas Fairbanks, Jnr, and Lionel Barrymore are two other bright spots in the constellation of celebrities inthe new picture. . ;

There are count-, less luughs to ' make it tremendously interesting. There.is also a story, as' always in Langdon picture?, that adds much to the entertainment.
