MAORILAND THEATRE.
SATURDAY— ‘ ‘ HEART TROUBLE. ’ ’
On Saturday evening at the above theatre Harry Langdon will be seen in his latest feast of film laughs. First and foremost, Langddn has a consistent story, a human, believable story. And one that offers untold opportunities for Langdon to display those sterling qualities which he possesses as an artist of exceptional ability. It is the type of story that builds as it progresses until it reaches the supremacy of lauglit producing qualities' in its climaxes. The efforts of a young man to jdin the army and do his bit and who is continuously being disappointed is the skeleton around which Langdon constructs a highly entertaining and exceptionally clean production. Laugh after laugh piles up in succession until a spectacular climax brings you out of your seat with a roar; There’s a tender romance in “Heart Trouble” and a dramatic sequence that strikes with the force and suddenness of a thunderbolt —not dragged in the picture by force but in a most natural manner.
MONDAY NIGHT. 1 “A RACE. FOR LIFE.” The dog wonder “Rin Tin Tin,” appears in “A Race for Life” at the local theatre on Monday night. In this picture he is a follower of the -race tracks. He and his pal go South by -the boxcar route, so that the former may become a jockey. All sorts of obstacles are overcome with a bounding eagerness' that rouses onlookers to wild excitement. A rival horse OAvner tries to injure the horse Rinty’s pal is to drive. Rinty attacks and is temporarily blinded. Rescued by his pal he is hidden and apparently deserted since the men have kidnapped the boy. Rinty escapes, and rushing to his master, frees him in time to get to the track as 'the big racing meet starts. But this is only the beginning! Rinty/outclasses even himself —in the astonishing way by Avdiich he contrives to make the race a victory! You’ll root for Rinty as neA T er before!
