COMING ATTRACTIONS.
AT DOMINION THEATRE, TEMUKA.
■ One of the strangest collections o.f oddities of human nature imaginable is seen on the screen in “Mismates',” Thursday’s attraction at the Dominion Theatre, - which Charles Brafain directed in New York for an Earl Hudson unit of First 'National. Among the unusual types that were used in one sequence of this picture were a giant standing seven feet and eight inches, a bearded lady, a tiny midget, a man with skin like an alligator, a-man with spider legs and a woman weighing in the vicinity of five hundred pounds. Quite a collection of peculiar types, to say the least. ‘‘Mismates” is the screen version of Myron Fagan’s stage .play of the same title. Doris Kenyon and Warner Baxter have the featured roles. In the cast are Philo McCullough, Mae Allison, Charlie Murray, John Kolb, Maude Turner Gordon, Nancy Kelley and 01 lie Mack.
Doris Kenyon is the only screen actress who has, succeeded in breaking out of prison and escaping in the automobile of the warden. She did that in the State, of New York not so long ago, and not a word appeared in the newspapers because —it was all in the filming of “Mismates,” her latest feature vehicle for First National, .which Earl Hudson .produced in New York, with Charles Brabin directing. This prison break of Miss Kenyon, with a thrilling chase following, in which she dashes across a rotten bridge in her car only to have the bridge start crumbling beneath her, Is one of the high spots of this picture. And then as she reaches the very end the bridge falls and for a moment it looks as if she and her car will he plunged, into the river below. Bait, as in all good movies, she escapes and all ends happily. Warner Baxter has the featured role.
