AMUSEMENTS.

" UP TO THE NECK." Ralph Lynn is hero again, and again he is appearing in a Ben Travel's farce. So patrons of the Majestic Theatre this week arc treated to some rare fun. The pathetic efforts at bravery and importance of this EnglLeh comedian are too well known to /icv-ii description. "Up to the Neck " r.,avks tlio reappearance of Winifred Shatter in the leading feminine role. The dialogue is up to the best Travels standard, and nono could play the butt of the plot as well as Lynn, ile starts the picture by making a valiant endeavour to win j i prize at a school of dramatics, and recites a poem, " The Leper." Perhaps anybody might be excused for not winning the full marks if handicapped by the excursions of a few performing fleas in the clothing. The self-important Eric Warwick, played by Francis Lister, takes the prize, much to the innocent surprise of Lynn, whose performance is no better than his name, N. B. Good. The stage is in Norman Good's blood, however, and we are next treated to a scene in which he is the " trainer " in some charity amateur dramatic, i. He holds the train, and with it the dress, of his boss' daughter, and loses his job. When he breaks into London with a legacy of nearly a quarter of a million in the bank the real fun starts. He meets old friends who want his money, and a new friend, April Dawne, who plays in a chorus. Naturally the audience expects that the chorine will finish up as a leading lady, but the surprise comes when Lynn takes a hand in the show as "manager" and other things. Throughout the film the situations provide plenty of scope for the asinine acting of the comedian. His love-making is as amusing as one would expect, and the tolerant patience with which. Miss Shottcr overlooks his stupidities encourages him, without inspiring him. She has a mischievous air and the dainty bearing which would appeal to any man, particularly to one as susceptible as Lynn. His battle of wits against his old enemy, Warwick, is a " high-light" of the film, but the real climax comes when Lynn in an emergency takes a heavy dramatic role on the West End stage and turns it into uproarious burlesque. Seldom has there been a better farce shown in Auckland. The supporting programme includes a Pathe Gazette, an aerial film of the wild north-west of Australia, a musical revue, and some old English views.

NATIONAL AND PRINCE EDWARD. Comedy is the order of things in the dual season which opened last evening at the National and Prince Edward Theatres. In addition to the highly-amusing American farce, "Tillie and Gus," the programme includes "Passport to Paris," a pleasing English comedy-romance, with more than usual share of dramatic interest in its make-up. Sally Eilers, in her first English picture, and Ben Lyon, in his second, are the stars. "Tillie and Gus" provides a splendid vehicle, not only for the talents of Baby Le Roy, but for the brilliant comedy team work of Alison Skipworth and W. C. Fields, whom we saw in "Six of a Kind" and "If I Had a Million." The film abounds in uproarious mirth, especially in the scene where Mr. Fields takes part in a poker game, pretending to be a hopeless novice. His good wile, Miss Skipworth, helps him win by looking over the hands of the other players and talking about "two or three sailors," and so forth, as the case may be. Gus, of course, wins, and the other "card sharps" little suspect that they were taken in by two of their own ilk. The mad mirth of this film is well suited to Mr. Fields, and Miss Skipworth officiates as' a perfect foil. There is a wild race between two old ferry boats, in which the favourite wins, after her fires have been stoked with Fourth of July crackers. Baby Le Roy plays "The King," as the child of the romantic young persons of the tale is known. These same romantic young persons are admirably portrayed by Jacqueline Wells and Clifford Jones-

ROXY AND TIVOLI. A new personality flashes across the cinema horizon in "Man of Two Worlds," the main picture at the l\oxy and Tivoli Theatres. Francis Lederer brought an international reputation to American pictures, and to it he adds fresh lustre with his performance in "Man"of Two Worlds." Elissa Landi, co-starred with Lederer in the production, gives a sparkling portrayal which is parallel to that of Lederer, although her role is .briefer. "Man of Two Worlds" is the story of a mighty Arctic hunter who is taken from Greenland to London 'by scientists for whom he has acted as guide. He has conceived a strange worshipping passion for the photograph of the leader's daughter. When he meets the girl in the flesh in Mayfair, his hopeless infatuation grows until he forgets his native wife. A hearttouching climax results from this strange situation. In the role of the untutored hunter, Lederer essayed a difficult and daring characterisation. So skilfully lias he played it, however, that his Aigo will be remembered and loved by audiences long after the most conventional characters are forgotten. The other picture at the Roxy and Tivoli is "Bedside," which features the virtual newcomer to the screen, Jean Muir, in the role of a nurse. "Bedside" is a thrilling drama of the adventures of a young medical student who becomes a success after he has been thrown out of school because of 'his predilection for wine, women, and cards. He makes an amazing rise to fame only to be exposed when lie refuses to operate on the nurse he loves. Warren William is the star of the film. The Roxy and Tivoli next Wednesday will present "Sing and Like It," an enjoyable musical comedy, and "No More Women," a Victor McLaglen-Edmund Lowe comedy.

ALEXANDRA THEATRE. The alluring Katharine Hepburn "will be seen this evening in "Little Women" at the Alexandra Theatre, Green Lane. Other prominent actresses in this film version of Louisa M. Alcott's romance are Joan Bennett, Frances Dee, and Jean Parker. ADELPH! THEATRE. The succcessftil Australian farce, "The Hayseeds," starring Cecil Kelleway as "Dad," will be shown at the Adelphi Theatre this evening. It is a story of love and. laughter amid the beautiful Australian bush scenery, and lias drawn i packed houses at all its previous screenings. The other picture is "Devil Tiger," a thrilling jungle drama. KING'S THEATRE, NORTHCOTE. The sumptuous court of Lotus XV., the beauty of Madame -de Pompadour, the power of the poet-philosopher Voltaire, all blend together to make the screen play "Voltaire," which boasts the inimitable Mr. George Arliss in the title role. It will be the star attraction at the King's Theatre, Northcote, this evening.

EDENDALE CINEMA. "When Ladies Meet," a polished comedy starring Ann Harding and Robert Montgomery, is featured on the programme of the Edendale Cinema this evening. The other picture is "Female," an outspoken drama of 'to-day. with Ruth Chatterton in the leading role. NEW DE LUXE THEATRE. 1 "The Hayseeds," a hilarious Australian farce, featuring Cecil Kelleway, will be screened at the New de Luxe Theatre, Mount Albert, this evening. The other picture 011 the programme is "Channel Crossing," a drama starring Matlieson Lang. WEST END THEATRE. An English musical comedy featuring the popular Cicely Courtueidge will be screened at the West End Theatre, Ponsonby, this evening. This is "Aunt Sally." Ruth Chatterton appears in the leading feminine role of the other picture, "Female," a drama of love cscapades in modern America. EMPRESS THEATRE. A pleasing modern romance is' told in "I Believed in You," which serves to j introduce pretty Rosemary Ames oppo-1 site John Boles at the Empress Theatre ' this evening. Showing with "I Believed in V 011' is "Lone Lost Father," a gripping emotional drama of fatherly love, starring John Barry 111 ore and Helen Chdndler.

"THE MYSTERY OF MR. X." Robert Montgomery is starred in a really cxeiting "thriller," "The Mystery of Mr. X," now showing at the iSt. James* Theatre. This "X" is no new type of fiend. He is not a Frankenstein nor a Hunchback of Notre Dame; ne is a sinister shadow until he is revealed in the very last sequence. Yet he has a bloodlust that is not equalled by his comenaces. His victims are London policemen, and he stabs them to death with a long, razor-edged rapier, concealed as a walking stick, lfe is more impudent that his forerunners, more insulting. He warns his victims of his nightly expeditions, through printed postcards mailed to the London newspapers. And then again, he laughs. . . Robert Montgomery, always charming, is no less fascinating as the debonair gentleman "crook" upon whom suspicion falls. He is a jewel thief in London at the time. Much of the interest of the picture is in the battle of wits between Nick Revel (Robert Montgomery), and the police, especially the shrewd chief, whose part is played by Lewis Stone. The plot this harassed chief lays for the capture of Revel, whom he believes to be the mysterious "X." is one of the cleverest the screen has seen. Montgomery is really superb. He breathes life and reality into flie part until you find yourself sitting taut on the edge of the seat. Elizabeth Allan is really charming as the daughter of the chief commissioner of Scotland Yard. A very dramatic moment is reached when Revel realises that he loves thi's beautiful girl—daughter of the man who is head of the force that is tracking him. In fact, the climax reaches heights of drama rarely touched in "thrillers." The rest of the programme is also good. It includes an Australian Cinesound Review full of interesting items, one of them being a wonderful demonstration of a blind Sydney man playing golf successfully, and a Hearst Metrotone Nfcws. An amusing comedy in colour entitled "Roast Beef

and Movies" gives skits on Mae .Tac-k Oakie and otiier Slollywood stars. Ely Culbertson is seen again in a bridge comedy. This time he gives advice to contract players suggesting that they should study the manners of the game as well as its technique. REGENT THEATRE. There is no doubt about the success of "The Silence of Dean Maitland" as far as Auckland audiences go, for it is being held over a secpud week at the Regent Theatre, where it was given initial release. Acclaimed 'by most critics in Australia and by the public of this city as Australia's finest attempt at serious emotional film drama, the picture, directed as it was by Ken "G. Hall, of Cinesound Studios, of Bondi and Rushcutters' Bay, Sydney, caused a first-class furore in the Australian Press when the Federal censor, Mr. Gresswcll O'Reilly, cut out certain delicate but highly essential scenes in the film as it was to be seen outside of the Commonwealth. So loud ami long was the cry of indignation that the censorial Board of Appeal reversed Mr. O'Reilly's decision. The film is a modernised

adaptation of Maxwell Gray's popular old story, given a setting on the rugged Australian coast. It deals with the fall from grace of a young clergyman home from college, at the alluring hands of the village belle, Alma Leo; of how his bosom friend "takes the rap"; and o£ the ultimate redemption, too late. Charlotte Francis is the eager, unfortunate Alma Lee, who causes the tragedy of Dean Maitland, Jocelyn Howarth Dier lovely daughter. John Warwick plays the sympathetic role of the young doctor who spends years in prison for the crime of the dean, and others are Leal Douglas, Patricia Minchin, Audrey Nicholson. Lcs Wharton, Claude Turton. W. LaneBayliff, Fred Mac Donald. John Pickard, George Lloyd, and Billy Kerr. The film ends, however, on al decidedly pleasing note. The Regent is also screening "Cinesound Varieties," the first attempt to produce a really good musical comedy yet made in Australia.

RIALTO THEATRE, NEWMARKET. Comedy is by far the dominant feature of "Hips, Hips, Hooray," in which Robert Woolse.v and Bert Wheeler will contrive to amuse this evening's audience in the Rinlto Theatre, Newmarket. However, music al«o abounds, notably in the singing of Wheeler and Dorothy Lee, whose "Keep on Doin' What You're Doin' " has now become quite well known in Auckland. Thelma Todd proves a splendid foil for the cigar-smoking Boh Woolsoy. A "highlight'' of the film is the burlesque transcontinental motor race in which the boys participate. The Rinlto is also screening "I Believed in You," a romantic drama starring Rosemary Ames. VICTORIA THEATRE, DEVONPORT. Undoubtedly one of Joan Crawford's most popular and (what is more) suitable roles is afforded this unusual actress in "Dancing Lady," in which she is to entertain to.-niglit's patrons of the Victoria Theatre, Devonport. Clark Gable is her leading man. . TUDOR CINEMA, REMUERA. A special programme of first-rate supporting items, headed by Walt Disney's technicolonr Silly Symphony, -"The Night Before Christmas," has been selected for showing with the brilliant English comedy, "The Private Life of Henry VIII.," this evening at the Tudor Cinema, Remucra. LONDON THEATRE. Music, comedy and drama are all combined in "Rich People" to make an enjoyable screen offering. This film, in which Constance Bennett is the star, will be shown this evening at the London Theatre.

STATE THEATRE. In his fourth annual film for Samuel Goldwyn. Eddie Cantor is at his laughable best. This production is "Roman Seandais," which is to be screened'to to-night's audience at the State Theatre, Upper Symonds Street. On the same programme is the clever Walt Disney technicolouv Silly Symphony cartoon, "The China Shop." BRITANNIA THEATRE. Two up-to-date films will bo co-featured to-night at the Britannia Theatre, Ponsonby. _ These are "Midnight Club," starring Clive Brook and the popular George Baft, and "The Right to Romance," with Ann Harding starred. STRAND THEATRE, ONEHUNGA. That inimitable infant known as Baby Leßoy first sprang to screen fame only a few months ago in Maurice Chevalier's romance, "The Way to Love," which is to be presented at the Strand Theatre. Onehunga, to-night, together with "Hokl the Press." NEW EMPIRE THEATRE. Wistful Irish romance as only Marion Davies could present it is the main feature of "Peg o' My Heart," which is screening on a dual bill this evening at the New Empire Theatre, with "The Devil's In Love" (Victor Jory). NEW CAPITOL THEATRE.

The amusing 'antics of Leslie Henson and Edward Everett Horton should prove highly popular to-night at the New, Capitol Theatre, where "It's a Boy" is being screened in conjunction with the acceptable comed.v-drama, "Her Bodyguard." The stars of the latter film are Wynne Gibson and Edmund Lowe. AMBASSADOR THEATRE. ' Norma Shearer's artistry is very apparent in the role she takes in "Smilin' : Through," which is booked as the chief film attraction for this evening at the Ambassador Theatre. Leslie Howard, 0. P. Heggie and Fredric March are the t main male players in the brilliant cast. | PIRATE SHIPPE, MILFORD. 1 Miss Adele Taylor (soprano) will head an enjoyable programme which is to be presented at the Pilate Shippe Cabaret, Milford, 'to-morrow afternoon. Orchestral items will comprise much of the programme. ALPINE LECTURE. An address on "The Mountains of New Zealand," illustrated by lantern slides, will be given by the Rev. W. Bower Black in St. .David's Hall, Khyber Pass Road, on Wednesday evening next. STRAND SUNDAY ADDRESS. Supported by community singing, with Mr. and Mme. Cornwall as song leaders, an address on "This Money Question" will be delivered by Mr. H. G. R. Mason, M.P., in the Strand Theatre to-morrow evening.

STRAND THEATRE. A pleasing romance of the Second Empire when the Empress Eugenie was young—such is the theme of "The Only Girl," which opened a joint season with "The Night of the Party" at the Strand Theatre last evening. It might be said of Lilian Harvey that here is a magnificent romantic and light comedy actress who has been reduced to the role of a mere entertainer through her association with over - commercialised Hollywood. "The Only Girl" is her latest Continental production, and like "The Love Waltz," "Jn Old Vienna," and "Happy Ever After," she reveals a wonderful display of sheer artistry when given Europe's peculiar style of film direction. Hollywood has since shorn her of that fresh romantic appeal in favour of a light tinsel temperament. This was painfully apparent in "My Lips Betray," "My Weakness," and "I Am Suzanne." Witn regard to "The Only Girl," Lilian Harvey, who appears as Juliette, the Empress Eugenie's hairdresser, is the star not* only of the English, but also of the French and German versions, the clever little lady being an excellent linguist. Gay. winsome, provocative, she j K the soul of this fairy-like story in its elaborate setting of elegant interiors, imposing facades, picturesque old world streets and squares. In this romance of the love of a handsome; soldierly gentleman for an unknown maiden who had sung sweetly at his bedside, soothing what both he and she supposed to bo his hour of death, Miss Harvey has Charles Boyer, the French romantic star, as her leading man. "The Night of the Party" is a veritable

"thriller," starring that most positive of "heavy" heroes, Leslie Banks. Suspense is cleverly built up to the final gripping climax.

PLAZA THEATRE. In "The Gold Daggers of 1833," Ned Sparks, playing the part of a theatrical producer, said to Ruby Keeler and Dick Powell, "You kids would be a knock-out for the mush interest." Truer words were never spoken on the screen. Ruby Keeler and Dick Powell as a team are a knock-out for the "mush interest." Their cinematic love affairs thrilled millions in

"42nd Street" and "The Gold Diggers of 1933," and is now doing the same in "Footlight Parade," the musical comedy revue now showing at the Plaza Theatre, where it is now in its second week. Experience has shown that the "mush interest" in pictures is Lest capitalised .by a team of players. Garbo and John Gilbert made up one such team years ago. Gnynor and Farrcll were another. William Powell and Kay Francis, and Jean Harlow and Clark Gable arc other combinations. But the newest and perhaps the most promising team now 011 the screen is made up of Ruby Keeler and Dick Powell. There are other stars in the cast, however, which is headed by James Cagne.v and Joan Blondell. "Footlight Parade" was directed by Lloyd Bacon, who also turned out "42nd Street." the first great musical success that led to the present, popularity of big musical productions. More than 2.i0 beautiful chorus girls appear in unique ensembles staged by Busbv Berkeley, the dance director genius of Hollywood. The Plaza will screen another lavish and spectacular musical comedy-romance, filmed along revue lines, next Friday. This is "Flying Down to Kio," in which the central figures are Dolores Del Bio and the celebrated English dancer Fred Astaire.

SOUTHERN CROSS, ELLERSLIE. The sixth film depicting Will in in Powell and Kay Francis in a romantic partnership. "One-Way Passage," will be featured on to-night's programme, at the Southern Cross Theatre, Ellerslie. "The Stranger's Return," with Lionel Barrymore and Miriam Hopkins, is also to he screened.

CRYSTAL PALACE THEATRE. Tears are to be found in "Tugboat Annie," but thev are quite forgotten in the wealth of hilarity caused by the comedy of Marie Dressier and Wally Beery, both individually and as a team. These two triumph in this tale of the old forgotten ferry boat days on the San Francisco waterfront. "Tugboat Annie" is to be screened to-night at the Crystal Palace Theatre, Mount Eden, together with John Barrymore's film "Long Lo.-it Father." Helen Chandler plays the leading feminine role in this brilliantly filmed emotional drama, which was adapted from a story by the noted authoress, G. B. Stern. NEW REGENT, EPSOM. Together with Marion Da vies' sentimental Irish romance, "Peg o' My Heart," the New Regent Theatre, Epsom, will this evening offer its patrons a screening of "Ever Since Eve," George O'Brien's first 11011-"Western" vehicle. STATE THEATRE, ONEHUNGA. Louisa May Alcott's unforgettable romance of girlhood assumes a new tenderness in the film version, which is now being screened at the State Theatre, Onehunga. Katharine Hepburn heads the brilliant' cast as "Jo," with Francis Dec, Joan Bennett, and Jean Parker in tiie three other main roles. "Red Ensign" is also on the bill. MUNICIPAL BAND.

Shaw, M.A., will be presented in the course of a Bannockburn social organised by the St. Andrew's Society. The social will be held in the Town Hall Concert Chamber this evening. Dancing will follow the entertainment and address.

AVONDALE MUNICIPAL THEATRE. The most lavish and expensive "musical" ! ever to have come out of Hollywood, "The King of Jazz," has been selected for the chief film entertainment at the Avondale Municipal Theatre this evening. "Undercover Man" is also screening. KINGSLAND TALKIES. Lionel Barrymore offers two of his finest pieces of character work in the two pictures now screening at the Kingsland Talkies. In Janet Gaynor's pleasing romance, "Carolina," in which Robert Young forms the other half of the loveteam, he is splendidly cast as "Mr. Bob," while in "The Stranger's Return" he shares the honours with Miriam Hopkins. GREY LYNN CINEMA.

Preceded b.v the usual half-hour newsreel session at 7.30 p.m., the Grey Lynn Cinema's film fare for this evening will consist mainly of Eddie Cantor's finest musical .comedy to date, "Roman Scandals," in which he has adventures by the score in the licentious days of the Roman Emperor Valerius. Walt Disney's technicolour "Silly Symphony," "The China Shop," will also be shown. RIALTO SUNDAY PICTURES. The hilarious Leslie Fuller is at his amusing best in "Pdor Old Bill," which is! to be screened to-morrow evening at the Rialto Theatre, Newmarket, together with the more dramatic English film, "The Man at Six." The screening is in aid of charity. "IS LIVE WORTH LIVING?" Highly enjoyable comedy ai d subtle humour is plentiful in Lennox Robinson's Irish play, "Is Life Worth Living?" which the Auckland Little Theatre Society lias selected for its new; offering. It is to be staged in the Town Hall couceri chamber for four nights commencing June 30. "ROBIN HOOD" PAGEANT. Colourful scenes will abound in the forthcoming production of a pageantdrama based on the famous "Robin Hood" stories. With the Rev. R. G. Coats producing, the play will be presented in the Auckland Town Hall on August 7, 8, and 9. GAIETY THEATRE, TAKAPUNA. A hilarious tale of love and adventure in Switzerland is told in "Falling For You," in which Jack Hulbert and Cicely Courtneidge will be seen this evening at the Gaiety Theatre, Takapuna. Tamara. Desni provides the romantic interest. J

"JUST SMITH" AT CIVIC. There is a restrained and refreshing subtlety about an English comedy, which probably accounts for a good deal of the enjoyment in Tom Walls' latest effort, " Just Smith." But at the same time Tom Walls' own contribution to the success of the play is considerable, for he is not only the principal actor but also the director and producer. And a very good job lie has made of his triple task. lie is in an ideal role—that of gambler, society crook, and devil-may-care adventurer. The "book" j from Frederick Lonsdale s stage play makes sparkling dialogue, of whicn Walls and the other actors take full advantage. | The story opens in glamorous Monte Carlo, j where Tom Walls, as Smith, is living on the vanities and foibles of the rich. With j the assistance of Mortimer, a "super" American crook who has arrived with his palatial yacht, Smith manages to gain the confidence of Mrs. Linkley, a wealthy woman with a 'beautiful daughter, Mary, whom she wants to marry to " a title." When the engagement of the daughter to the Duke of Bristol is announced, Smith is invited to a house party to celebrate the event. Here he hopes to get a haul of tin: Linkley money. Tilings go wrong, and before he can get at the safe someone else has helped himself. There is a great disturbance, and Scotland Yard is called in. Complications, romantic and humorous. follow in rapid succession. Smith finds that he has come to steal, and has remained to lose his heart. It is fine entertainment, its wit is brilliant, its humour uproarious, its drama thrilling, and its romance touching. Carol Goodlier, as the daughter who is being pushed into a ducal marriage against his will by a title-loving mother, plays a very real and impressive part. Hartley Power is the American crook in the story, and will be remembered for his fine performance in the English success. " Yes, Mr. Brown." Anne Grey, as Lady Moynton, the discarded lover of the fast-living duke, is as fascinating and vivacious as ever. The supporting programme includes British Paramount newsreel. a Sound Cinema, and Fox Movietone News. Interesting "shots" of the recent Otago University capping carnival are shown. There is also a Gaumont-Graphic News and a Paul Terry cartoon, " The Banker's Daughter." with the refrain, " And the villain still pursued her,'.'
