MAORILAND PICTURES.

REGINALD DENNY IN "'GOOD MORNING, JUDGE."

"Good. Morning, Judge," the funniest pictuh'. ■Reginald Denny ever 'madp, has been booked, by the Maori- ; land Theatre and will be screened on Wednesday. Denny has long been the .•screen's comedian par excellence, but in this Universal picture he reaches the pinnacle of his. mirth-provoking 1 qualities. Imagine Denny as a wealthy young man who confesses to the most' dastardly crimes so that he Imay remain in a charity mission for .'homeless, crooks and be near the girl •he loves. And all the time the girl is trying to reform him. The star j breezes through the role in. his usual I laugh -winning manner. Audiences have laughed aplenty at him in former pictures, but "'Good Morning, Judge," will arouse a regular cyclone of rib-tickling hilarity. The girl is ■played by blonde Mary Nolan. Miss -Nolan, an importation from UFA in Germany is already recognized as one of Hollywood's most beautiful and Capable heroines. She is a perfect foil ;for the irresistible Dennyesque humour. An admirable selection of .play- . ;er,s are in 'the ■■supporting'oast. A NOVELTY IN THRILLERS. I Eye-popping; teeth-chattering, spinetingling "thrills, with a comedy kick like the back-hand slap of forty mules, is condensed into the amazing screen . version of "The iGrhost Train,'' a Master Picture (Special, which is to be screened on Friday. The famous stage I thriller, which made Australia shiver Jeven in the summer of 1927, has lost none of its blood-chilling propensities in its transcription/to the silver sheet, and the 'opportunities offered 'by the silent art to still further enhance the 1 comedy sequences have been eagerly pounced, upon by the.producers. Guy .New all, the eminent British actor, plays! to perfection the role of the silly 'ass who pulls the communication cord and, stops the train to retrieve his hat, thus causing the rest of the passengers' to miss their London train at Hellbridge Junction. A terrific storm breaks, and they ! are forced to make a* night of it in tho little wayside station's waiting-room, despite the strenuous efforts of the station-master to make them leave by telling them, of the weird reputation which the place enjoys. As they prepare to make themselves comfortable,, with the storm howling outside, things begin to happen—strange visitors ar-; rive, mysterious Rights shine, and in some inexplicable manner the station telegraph instrument taps out the sinister message that, twenty., years previously, caused the terrible railway smash from which sprung the legend of "The Ghost Train!'*
