GERALDINE PICTURES. The brilliant First National picture, “God’s Clay,” will be shown at the Municipal Theatre to-night, and ali should make a point of seeing this fine example of British production. The story is the history of a young fellow who meets with disaster on his wedding day. On the honeymoon journey the car is involved in a smash, and the bride is seriously injured, resulting in paralysis. The accident occurs nej.r the home of Angela, a society girl, who nurses her. Angela is attracted by the young fellow, who reciprocates the affection. When the invalid is transferred to Cornwall, the two part, one to return to his business duties, the other to run a club in connection with the factory owned by the man. The secretary of the club is a rogue, who commences flirtation with one of the girls. He later proposes to the society girl, who, hearing of his misdeeds, discharges him. He follows the girl to Cornwall, to blackmail her, and the factory lass trails him there. The man is killed. The two girls manage to dispose of the body so that the verdict is brought in accidental death. There will be a full supporting programme.
