ENTERTAINMENTS.

ST. JAMES THEATRE. “CONFESSIONS OF. A NAZI SPY.’*’ A remarkable picture, “Confessions of a Nazi Spy,” is history to the minute and agreeably served in entei taming fashion. Here is fact not fiction, its gripping power is terrific and it is studded with outstanding performances. The final screening will he given to-night. There must be very few people in the world who have not heard or read of that great entertainer. Gracio Fields, at some time or another. Perhaps the most popular star living, Gracio has for years brought joy' and fun per medium of stage and radio to countless millions throughout the world. Her films, too, have been a great delight and her latest production. “'We’re Going to be Iticli,” which opens at the matinee tomorrow, is another of outstanding merit. Ably supported by well-known Victor McLaglen and Brian Donlevy, this film contains more laughs, thrills and melody than any other presented recently and Ashburton will be entirely captivated by such splendid entertainment. “We’re *Going to be .Rich” presents a broad, lusty story of life in Australia and South Africa. These two stars, Victor and Miss Fields, are set in two points of a triangle which is completed by Brian Donlevy in the principal featured role. Add to this the capable work of a child actor, Ted Smith, and some new faces in the supporting roles, and life during the “Eighties’’ iii the Boer country is vividly paraded before the audience to the accompaniment of six new song hits and a stirring “Trek” song of the Veldt territory.
