MAORILAND THEATRE.

“SQUARE CROOKS.” Should a young man, in love with a beautiful girl, whose' companionship has inspired him to “go straight” cohfess his past indiscretions to the girl he hopes to make his wife, or should he let his past remain a closed book? This problem of life has confronted many young people, is answered logically in “Square Crooks,” which will have a showing at the Maoriland Theatre on Saturday. The story deals with the reformation of two young crooks, who, after many close shaves, decide that 'the shady path be abandoned for the straight and narrow one. Notwithstanding their efforts to go straight, the boys lost job after job on account of /a headquarters’ man, who takes a fiendish delight in seeing them suffer. The boys are enmeshed in a diamond necklace robbery and after some clever detective work on their own part apprehend the real culprit and receive a substantial/reward for. their cleverness. ’

The fight on tin.’ stairs, and the explosion in the temple are exciting moments which hold the audience at high tension." Jack Holt has a two-fisted, red-blooded role in which he fights his way to success, and wins the love of the heroine. It will be screened on Monday. \ v V \ - * i.
