" THE MATRIMANIAC."
A whirlwind could hardly cover more ground at a sharper pace than Douglas Fairbanks does in the clever comedy-1 drama entitled " The Matrimaniaci" to be screened at His Majesty's Theatre this evening. The athletic cham-i pion of/ the Triangle studios is seen at his very best, and the " stunts " he performs are in the nature of miracles.. In one case, for instance, he runs up a wkll perpendicularly in the most impossible fashion, and there performs more than one daring. miracle of agility. Constance Talmadge is a delightful heroine, and is one of the best of the coming stars. The story is taken from a novelette by two good American writers, and lately appeared in the All-Story Magazine. The tale hangs together, and without the rush and flurry of Fairbanks' clever work would have an interesting straightforward
romance
Chapter VI. of " Gloria's Romance" will also be screened. At the termination of the serial two coloured photographs of Billie Burke will be given to the persons who can produce the best collection of Billie Burke post-cards. The supporting programme will include interesting photographs of Waimangu in eruption.
