MAORILAND THEATRE.

"18 WASHINGTON SQUARE." A most entertaining mystery comedy will be screened in Shannon on Wednesday. It is "13 Washington Square," a "Universal picture, co-star-ring Jean Hersholt and Alice Joyce. "13 Washington Square" is a riotous eomedy. But it also has a serious theme which is carried with the ut most finesse by Jean Hersholt and Alice Joyce who give probably the greatest characterization of their .screen careers. The love interest /Is capably handled by George Lewis, of "New Collegians" fame, and Helen Foster, a new and very pretty newcomer. BRITISH FILM WITH REAL NAVAL ATMOSPHERE. "Second to None" is a British naval film released by Paramount and produced from a story by "Bartimeus." Jsa«ed oh a theme of the high semse

of duty in all ranks of the Senior Service, the film has a strong vein of patriotic sentiment. The film was produced with the co-operation of the Admiralty and was in fact, the first film to secure this facility. Some of its scenes were the first to be "shot" on H.M.S. Tiger and other warships, and a unique feature of the production is that every scene which purports to take place on board a warship, including interior scenes in the officers' quarters and in the lower deck mess, was actually taken on a warship and not reconstructed in the studio. Many of these scenes involved considerable difficulty, as for instance, one in which Moore Marriott climbs to the masthead to replace the flag which has been shot away. The film has a big climax in graphic pictures of a sea battle. It will be screened in Shannon on Friday.
