MAORILAND PICTURES.

WEDNESDAY—“MAN, WOMAN, AND WIFE.”

A remarkable study in the effect of ‘fear upon a man and how it can change his entire life is shown in “Man, Woman and Wife,” the Universal picture coming to the Maoriland Theatre, on Wednesday, with 'Norman Kejrry, as the star, supported by Pauline Starke in the leading feminine role. It is a comFinaHion war and under-world story, showing how a haunting fear of injury can cause a man to turn yellow at crucial moments. Kerry plays the role'of a yofing social lion tvho marches away to war with high hopes, leaving a beautiful bride confident in his heroic qualities. But in his breast there lurks the seed of fear and cowardice that ripens to malignant flower in the heat, of battle. His actions in the face of the enemy* change his entire life; and send him, upon his return to Am*> erica, into the undenvorld and down to the gutter. How he is rescued by a former sweetheart, und how the two struggle to break the bonds of gang-, dom in their fight for the right to live their own lives/makes a gripping drama with suspense and deep human interest. But most gripping of all is the culmination of this tangle of human lives and hearts in which Kerry regains Ins courage and overcomes his craven in-' stincts in a situation of tragic, grandeur that stamps the picture, as an outstanding photo-drama. FRIDAY —‘'HINDLE WAKES.”

A picture of groat social interest will be screened on Friday, when 'Cinema Art Film a,, Lrtc!., present Hmdle Wakes,” with Estelle Brody as the star actress. _____
