"THE VALLEY OF HELL.’’
A pleasing and interesting contrast to the present boyish styles for girls, are the costumes so daintily worn by Edna Murhpy, Francis McDonald’s leading lady in his second adventure epic tor M’etro-Goldwyn-Mayer “The Valley of Hell,” to be starred at the Maoriland Theatre on Saturday. The story is laid in the early days of the Golden West, and Miss Murphy appears in pretty gowns of the crinoline type, not really ot a hoopskirt natuie, but bordering upon that extreme style. It seems that never in the history of the world has a feminine costume been, devised which seemed so to express daintiness, refinement and feminine lure quite so effectively as the costume of that particular period. No wonder that some of the world’s sweetest romances were, written around that period of time, and no wonder that motion picture producers so■ frequently choose it for a picturesque effort. Miss Murphy is a petite blonde, with a certain wistfulness whiqh is ivery appealing. J.n contrast to the dark handsomeness of the dobonaire Francis McDonald, the star, she makes a perfect foil. TUESDAY—“THE VALLEY OF THE GIANTS.” Peter B. Kyne’s masterful story of the Big Tree country, “The Valley of The Giants,” with Milton Sills in the starring role. Kyno's great romance is ideal pietm'e material, and Milton Sills is theideal (artist to portray the role of Bryce Cardigan, the young son of the blind timber baron who bests his father’s -bitter enemy and saves his property. * “The Valley of. the Giants” b a virile, stirring story of the M est, where mighty Redwoods rear their branches 300* feet in the air, and life is rough, and ready. There is human conflict, romance, danger, intrigue and suspense in the story, which holds the attention from the opening scene to the close. The picture will be screened on Tuesday uight.
