MAORILAND THEATRE.

"THE STUDENT FEINCE."

The haunting loveliness of an old song—the fragrance of a tender romance —a love story of a Prince and a peasant girl caught in the grip of royal traditions —this is “The Student Prince,” the new Mtio-Goldwyn-Mayer picture to be shown _in Shannon on Friday. As a musical play, “The Student Prince” captured the heart of the world, and now its screen version comes as a co-starring vehicle for Bam on Novarro and Norma Shearer, a glowing and glamorous' story of youthful love and devotion. Ramon Novarro, the star of “Ben _ ITur,” reaches the very pinnacle of histrionic expression as the unhappy scion of a royal house who finds the human companionship he craves among the students of Heidelberg University, but, after one short year, is forced back to the pomp and ceremony of < court routine. Norma Shearer, whom picturegoers will remember for her work in “The Waning Sex,” “Upstage” and “The Latest from Paris,” makes an adorable Kathie, and stirs the very depths of human emotions as the peas-, ant girl, who has one brief glimpse of romance.
