FILM PROGRAMMES REVIEWED.

— "WOMAN WANTED." MAJESTIC. Ann Maureen O'Sullivan Tony Joel McCrea District Attorney Lewis Stone Smiley Louis Calhern Sweeney Edgar Kennedy Betty Adrienne Ames " Director: George Seitz. ' M.-G.-M. Leavened with a strong vein of humour, "Woman Wanted," which opened at the Majestic Theatre last evening, avoids the grimmer possibilities of the plot—the efforts of a girl to prove herself innocent of a murder of which she has been found guilty—and, though many of the scenes are as tense as any that have been shown, there is a laugh for every thrill. Particularly good is Robert Greig as a butler of the "inimitable Jeeves" type, on whose ready wit his master, though no Bertie Wooster, has often to rely when he finds himself in a tight corner. Close atten- ■ tion "is demanded from the audience, as the film runs fast and is packed with incident, with little time wasted in right from the moment when the heroine, found guilty on circumstantial evidence of a gang murder of which she is innocent, escapes from custody on_her way to prison to await execution. The escape has been planned by gangsters, who think she knows where the proceeds of a recent hold-up have been hidden by the murdered man. Throwing herself on the mercy of a young lawyer whom she meets soon after her escape, she persuades him of her innocence, but he cannot convince the police authorities that she is anything but a murderess. The two, therefore, set out to find the proof themselves, their efforts being hampered all the time by the vigorous policc search for the missing girl and also by the hero's jealous fiancee. His butler, however, "rallies round," as Bertie Wooster would have remarked, even to the extent of risking his life by tackling, barehanded;, a party of gangsters. At the same -time, the lawyer's self-imposed task 'is; getting him into some dangerous scrapes, the seriousness of which he laughs, oft'.with a jest, the richest of which is his barefaced theft of a police patrol launch to give point to his proving that he was right and they were wrong in the solving of the mystery.' The programme includes some excellent supporting features, one • being an "Our Gang" comedy that is one of the most amusing that the kiddies have ever made. The second of the "Crime' Doesn't Pay"' series is a most interesting film. ? ' CIVIC THEATRE. The enthusiastic audiences which "Top Hat" is drawing to the Civic Theatre at every session go far to indicate that this, the latest production of Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire, is at least equal in entertainment value to their previous successes. It is a film which will-find a place in the theatregoer's list of favourites for sparkling humour and sheer beauty of setting, as well as for its tuneful music and ' the incomparable dancing of the two popular stars. Astaire, with his clever, eccentric feet, holds sway over the v audience from the very beginning. Ginger Rogers is just as fascinating as she has been in : any of her pictures. She plays in tune I with Astaire. She ,is as harmoniously ' different from her foil as it is possible to be. Most original settings are chosen for the marvels of tapdancing which the pair perform: a band rotunda in a park, a piazza beside Venetian canals, and the beautiful background of the Lido. The musical score was written by Irving Berlin. Among his new dances Fred Astaire ' givea two versions of "No Strings" and also does a solo specialty, "Top Hat," in ' which a chorus of top-hatted young men perform some- clever and intricate steps. With Ginger Rogers, Astaire; sings "Isn't This a Lovely Day?" and "Cheek to Cheek," while the final number, "The Piccolino," with a chorus of sixty, is a fitting finale. STRAND THEATRE. George Arliss, one of the finest character actors on the screen, has .the leading role in "The Guv'nor," which /heads the double bill at the Strand Theatre tonight. With Arliss is featured Viola I Keats, as the owner of an iron foundry, ' which is the object of a plot deeplj r laid < by two cunning crooks. Pat Knowles, as s the wholly-honest stepson of one of these J "financial experts," is in love with Viola, i a pretty, attractive little thing. A some- 1

a pretty, aiuacuve iiiue miug. jsl oumcwhat simple soul, Pat is used as a tool by his cunning father. Meanwhile, George Arliss' pal, cleverly played by Gene Gerrard, discovers that the name of his fellow tramp (Arliss) is the same as that of a famous millionaire stockbroker, and he turns the coincidence to advantage. The second film is a new release, "The White Lilac?' a clever mystery drama with Claude Dampier and Judy Gunn. CRYSTAL PALACE AND RIALTO. A really remarkable performance by Elisabeth Bergner is the outstanding feature of "Escape Me Never," screening to-night at the Crystal Palace Theatre, Mount Eden, and the Rialto, Newmarket. Situations become deeply touching under her remarkable ability to arouse an emotional response—there are scenes which literally tear at the heartstrings. The film is well balanced, however, good comedy scenes relieving the dramatic sequences. It is based on Margaret Kennedy's play. Typical English farce is presented at its best in "Marry the Girl," the second film. In this picture are Winifred Shotter and Sonnia Hale. ALEXANDRA, GREEN LANE. There is well-varied entertainment offering to-night in the . double-feature pro£ramme at the Alexandra Theatre, Green ,ane. "Public Hero No. 1," the first of the G-men films, features Chester Morris, Lionel Barrymore and Jean Arthur. It is screening with "Steamboat Round the Bend," with the late Will Rogers. ADELPHI, RICHMOND AVENUE. At the Adelphi Theatre, Richmond Avenue, to-night, Shirley Temple will be seen in her happiest mood in "Curly Top," her latest film. She sings, dances and smiles to her . heart's desire—and to the enchantment of her audiences. John Boles and Rochelle Hudson give the little star able support. PRINCESS, DOMINION ROAD. The complications which arise when a highly efficient secretary marries her employer are unfolded in a delightful way in "She Married Her Boss," screening, at the Princess Theatre, Dominion Road, tonight. Claudette Colbert is the secretary. Edward Arnold will" also-be seen to-night m "Diamond Jim." . : STATE, DEVONPORT. Starring with. James Dunn, Shirley Temple is given every opportunity to make use of her charming personality and talents in "Baby, Take a Bow," screening to-night at the State Theatre, Devonport. She is really happy in this film, and she delights her audience with tuneful songs and clever dancing. STATE, ONEHUNGA. Walter Abel swaggers across the screen : t? a magnificent re-creation of Alexandre r t °®s famous D'Artagnan in. "The Three State TV. rs 't screening to-nigbt at the "-MS; EMPRESS AND REGAL. j ing sulh n s3gJ 01 a C s e "Fun- ace r M ° ore fiin K" ' her latest film?

4"HEART'S DESIRE." REGENT. Josef Steidler Richard Tauber Frances Wilson .... Leonora Corbett Anna Kathleen Kelly Florian Paul Graetz Oliver Carl Harbord Van Straaten Frank Vosper Director: Paul L. Stein. 8.1.P. The famous tenor's manager is reading a . Press notice. "Greatest , tenor in . Europe?" he says disapprovingly. "No, in the world." It is a big claim, and it may be doubted whether it is ever justified of any one person, but after hearing Richard Tauber in his new picture, "Heart's Desire," at the Regent Theatre, no one would contest the judgment as applied to him. Such a voice is one of the real treasures of the world, a gift for which one can only be devoutly thankful even when it can only be enjoyed on the screen and not in the flesh. The role, that of a biergarten singer, suits Tauber admirably, and the songs in "Heart's Desire" reveal all the glorious compass of his marvellous voice, . from the softest, tenderest notes to the most passionate declamation. Tauber sings two of Schumann's songs; the others were composed for the film, and although they are very light affairs they are quite charming. They include "My World is Gold Because You Love Me," "Let Me Awaken" and "All Hope is Ended." To hear Richard Tauber is in itself enough, but "Heart's Desire" is also interesting, not only for its setting in the old Vienna, famous throughout the world for its music, its women and its light-hearted-' ness, but. also for the appearance of Tauber's fiancee, Diana Napier. She has not a very big part in the film, but what is seen of her only leaves one wishing that it had been a larger one. Leonora Corbett,' as Frances Wilson, the discoverer of the new .tenor/Josef Steidler, and. Kathleen Kelly, as a biergarten girl Anna, have the other principal roles. Frances Wilson wants the' tenor to leave liis beloved Austria and his sweetheart, Anna, to appear in a new opera written by Oliver Desmond; with whom she. is in love, but to persuade the singer to make the adventure she. finds it necessary to pretend that it is he on whom her affections are set, and Steidler does not discover the truth until : the act on the opening night of the opera, when lie sings as he has. never sung before. In the end he turns; his. back on fame and returns to the biergarten and his .Anna. Of course there: is more to the story than that, and the: setting is half of its attraction, but both story and scene are nothing more than background for the display of Tauber's glorious voice. No' music-lover should miss this musical treat. The supporting programme includes a number of films of varied interest, the Australian Cinesound News being as usual a bright feature. "Highlights of Variety" shows some popular British entertainers in light and humorous offerings, and new ingenuities make the coloured cartoon, "Lady in Red," an amusing piece of work. Nor must one omit to mention the incidental music by the Regent orchestra, which deserved the applause with which it was received. Altogether, the new programme'at the Regent is an outstanding one. ROXY AND TIVOLI. Taking to the air in his latest film, "Speed Wings," which heads the double bill delighting audiences at the Roxy and Tivoli Theatres, Tim McCoy, so popular among lovers of outdoor action films, gives a performance which will delight everybody who likes fast-moving, exciting productions. For there is action in plenty— it is the story of an attempt on the part of McCoy and hia flying partner, William Bakewell, to win the world's air "speed record. Six of their fellow flyers have crashed, but McCoy achieves his aim after a series of thrilling adventures. Highlights of the film are the flying scenes, -which are dramatic and breath-taking. McCoy wins new screen *»onours in this' new role. He has long been the idol of thousands of filmgoers and adds even more to his reputation in such a departure from his usual Western vehicle. James Dunn gives another fine performance in the second film, "Bad Boy," a delightful com-edy-romance. It is a simple and human story of a young man and woman who find themselves in love and decide to marry in spite of the many obstacles placed in their path by circumstances. Dunn has

' not a very pleasant reputation, being aj ■ pool room "shark," and when the girl, • Dorothy Wilson, introduces him to her ■ parents tliey recognise him. But to -gain ■ : their; iespect Dunn gives up his present , i mode of life" and seeks respectable employ- j ! ment. He'discovers, however, that such • work is hard to find and many bitter i experiences fall his way. There are many surprises in the film, which comes to a thrilling and satisfying climax. NATIONAL THEATRE. Talented young star of "Gingei;," Jane Withers wins fresh screen honours in her new film, "This is the Life," which is screening at the National Theatre. In this ■ film the little girl is given * full opportunity to display her versatility in sing- ; ing, dancing and infectious comedy, as well as an admirable touch 6f dramatic . art. She is cast as a popular child vaude- : ville" artist who wishes to become an ■ ordinary little girl. She is preyed on. by ■ her scheming guardians, and oppressed to ' such a point that she runs away. Also • screening is "Music is Magic," with Alice Faye. This new film is packed with tuneful songs and amusing situations. Also • "in the* cast are Ray Walker and Bebe • Daniels. ; PRINCE EDWARD THEATRE. Buster Crabbe, the world-champion , swimmer, chosen as the "lion man" bei cause of his fine physique and acting : talents, gives a fine performance in "King of the Jungle," which is screening at the Prince Edward Thfcatre. It tells of a youth raised in the jungle among lions and ultimately captured and brought to civilisation for an animal circus act. Also showing is "The "Virginian," a refreshing picture of outdoor life, which features : Gary Cooper, Richard Arlen and Mary 1 Brian. The presence of these three stars guarantees that it is something out of 1 the ordinary. 1 DE LUXE, MOUNT ALBERT. ' Once again Shirley Temple "steals the show" with her charming personality in "Little-Miss Marker," which is screening to-night at the De Luxe Theatre, Mount Albert. This film has a dramatic story, revolving around horse-racing adventures. Adolphe Menjou and Dorothy Dell are in support. - MAYFAIR, SANDRINGHAM. One of Ronald Colman's most dramatic productions returns to the screen at the Mayfair Theatre, Sandringham, to-night. It is "Cynara," based on the story "The . Imperfect Lover." It is a picture filled J to the utmost with situations that are 1 little less than breathless, with the most : unexpected of surprises, and with the most powerful of'emotions. Kay Francis gives a fine performance in the leading ; feminine role. ] ' REGENT, EPSOM. s "Public Hero No. 1," first and, many say, most thrilling of all the G-men films, is screening to-night at the Regent Theatre, Epsom." Chester Morris, Jean 1 Arthur and Lionel Barrymore play the I leading roles. "All the King's Horses, « the second film, stars Carl Brisson and Mary Ellis. q BRITANNIA, PONSONBY. Dick Powell, the popular young screen and radio singer, poses as a Venetian singing gondolier in "Broadway Gondo- s lier," the delightful musical romance s screening to-night at the Britannia c ■Theatre, Ponsonby. Also showing is V "Murder in the Fleet," featuring Robert fa Taylor and Jean Parker. £ LONDON CINEMA. v is fast-moving entertainment in store for picturegoers in the double feature! atn sl e . afc the London Cinema tothrilli'n st . on the bill is "Calendar," a r( lamv anr] r f r ° lng^,drama ' Ralph Bel -I B "Parole Girl 8 " arke : ..The second film is T > a sparkling comedy, drama, tl

" ESCAPADE." ST. JAMES'. * Fritz William Powell Leopoldlne Luise Rainer Karl Frank Morgan ' Gerta Virginia Bruce Paul Reginald Owen Anita Mady Christians Director: Robert Z. Leonard. M.-G.-M. A piquant and exhilarating compost of comedy, romance and scandal, with a tantalising tincture of real music, "Escapade," in its first appearance at St. James' Theatre last night, provided entertainment with an appeal much above the a average. And then the fascinating per- '• sonality and artistically expressive histrionics of Luise Rainer, without being in r any sense out of character, provided an r extra treat, which was of the story but ' yet a thing apart in the minds of the audience. All the skill and debonair ease " of William Powell at his best in flirting E riskily with the social conventions con- > veyed a pulsing sense of adventure, as he did daring outrages with charming poise 1 and entertainingly. ' But against this brilliant roil came the 5 art of Luise Rainer to display the charm i of unsophisticated emotion, and Powell'3 3 brilliance was eclipsed, the comedy took a i fuller and more human note and romance t blossomed fragrantly where there had 3 promised only to be philandery. The , story is skilfully laid in an cfld-time Vien- , liese atmosphere, with every attraction of . beauty and melody. The dash and swing- [ ing song of the beer-garden, the gaiety ; and sensuous waltz of high life and the classics of the opera all contribute cun- . ningly to the story and are features of attraction. The characterisations of " Powell and Frank Morgan, of Mady Chris--1 tians, Reginald Owen and Henry Travers contribute thrill and humorous interlude. ! But Luise Rainer in the spirit of romance ■ eventually dominates and elevates the ! 'character of the play, warming the drama ; and giving the entertainment real dis- ■ tinction. "Escapade" and Luise Rainer ; will be great favourites. ; The programme at St. James' has~btlier , attractions in a Laurel and Hardy comedy, "Tit for Tat," a Pete Smith water sports parade and a newsreel which gives shots ; of the dramatic international Rugby foot- , I ball match between the All Blacks and Wales'. Pete Smith's description of the ' various spectacular equaplaning stunts of ' Florida artists is a comedy in itself, and the picture of the Rugby match in Wales gives some of the exciting highlights of the game. STAR, KARANGAHAPE ROAD. One of the most brilliant comedy-dramas . of 1935, "The Scoundrel," is the current attraction at the Star Cinema, Karangahape Road. ■ Noel Coward,, perhaps the most outstanding figure to-day ill the , theatrical world, fills the leading role in this, his own production, and Julie Haydon, a newcomer to the screen, has the chief feminine part. Both give polished performances. The sparkling dialogue and wealth of dramatic situations make the story a very entertaining one, and are sure to grip the interest to the very last scenes. There is a splendid supporting cast. A well-chosen programme of shorter films combines with "The Scoundrel" to make entertainment- to suit ell tastes. STATE, SYMONDS STREET. Two really entertaining films will be presented to-night at the State Theatre, Symonds Street. That clown of clowns, Joe ID. Brown, becomes a singer, dancer and love-maker as well in a hilarious way in "Bright Lights." The second film is "Mississippi," with Bing Crosby giving one of the most delightful performances of his career. W. C. Fields and Joan Bennett l have leading roles. AMBASSADOR, POINT CHEVALIER. A bright musical film, "Happiness Ahead," brimming over with song, dance and laughter, is the current attraction at the Ambassador Theatre, Point Chevalier. The leading parts are taken by Dick Powell and Josephine Hutchinson, both of whom give excellent performances. Also screening is "Fugitive Lovers," with Neil Hamilton and Florence Rice. ~v VICTORIA, DEVONPORT. <<There comedy in plenty in store for picture-goers at the Victoria Theatre, Devonport, to-night, where "Calm Yourself" and "Look Up and Laugh" are to be screened. In the first film are Robert Young, Madge Evans and Nat Pendleton. Gracie Fields is the star of "Look U.p and Laugh." STRAND, SUNDAY. As a tribute to thp memory of the late King, "Mighty London" is to be screened at the Strand Theatre to-morrow night. This film has kept all the colour and romance and tradition of the greatest city in the world. Lender the auspices of the Rationalist Association, the programme will consist of films and talks. AVONDALE MUNICIPAL THEATRE.' "South of the Kio Grande," with the popular Buck Jones, heads the double bill at the Avondalc Municipal Theatre tonight. In addition to this thrilling outdoor adventure film, "Princess O'Hara," an Irish racing story, will be shown. Jean Parker and Chester Morris are starred. GREY LYNN CINEMA. Music, comedy and dancing are the keynotes of "Stolen Harmony," which is screening at the Grey Lynn Cinema tonight with George Raft in the leading role. Ben Bernie and his band are featured in the film, wnicTi is showing with "A Girl of the Limberlost," starring Ralph Morgan. ASTOR, DOMINION ROAD. William Powell and Jean Harlow are the leading players in "Reckless," which is being shown to-night at the Astor Cinema, Dominion Road. Sparkling dialogue, elaborate dancing and singing scenes and fine acting by all the principals combine to make the picture a very entertaining one. On the same programme is "Whom the Gods Destroy," with Robert Young and Doris Kenyon. RIALTO, SUNDAY. Again to-morrow night an attractive programme of entertaining films is to be presented at the Kialto Theatre, Newmarket. Supported by excellent shorter films, the main feature is "Thark." a typical Ben Travers farce. Tom Walls and Ralph Lynn have,the leading roles. GAIETY, TAKAPUNA. "The Scarlet Pimpernel," one of the most dramatic historical films of recent months, is -to be screened at the Gaiety Cinema, Takapuna, to-night. Leslie Howard, as the young British nobleman who risks his life to save others, gives an outstanding performance in the leading role. TUDOR, REMUERA. There are three names in British films which make one chuckle even to hear or see them together. They are Tom. Walls, Ralph Lynn and Robertson Hare, the three inimitable masters of English farce who have the leading roles in "A Cup of Kindness," screening at the Tudor Cinema, Remuera, to-night. Walls is as mildly "naughty" as ever, Lynn the same "silly "ass," and once more Robertson Hare gets pushed protestingly into all sorts of embarrassing situations. CAPITOL, BALMORAL. "West Point of the Air," screening tonight at the Capitol Theatre, Balmoral, presents Wallace Beery in one of his most colourful roles to date. Maureen O'Sullivan is also in the cast. The second film is "People Will Talk," a typically funny Charlie Rugglee-Mary Boland comedy. SPIV AKO V SKY-KURTZ TRIO.

BANDS AT MILFORD. At the Pirte Shippe, Milford, to-mor-'ow afternoon, the Balmoral Boys' Silver Band will give a programme of music, rhe Takapuna Citizens' Band will play in — ,he evening. ■

"REMEMBER LAST NIGHT?" PLAZA. Danny Harrison Edward Arnold Carlotta Milburn.Constance Cummings Bette Huling Sally Eilers Tony Milburn Robert Young Fred Flannagan . . Robert Armstrong Jack Whitridge .. Reginald Denny Director: James Wliale. Universal. The celebration of a wedding anniver- • sary and the consequent loss of memory • causing complications that ended disastrously for more than one of the participants, form tlie theme of "Remember : Last Night?" Which opened a season at the Plaza Theatre yesterday. The party, which begins all too riotously though with just a hint of the under-current of illfeeling existing between various members of the party, continues at the same mad pace throughout the night and in the morning none of the revellers can remember much about the latter part; but they are confronted with the very real fact that one of their number is stiff and cold in his bed—shot through the heart. It becomes imperative for them to remember how this came.about and none of them can, or at least none of them seem to be able to. Each time the mystery is about to be unravelled tragedy stalks closer and actually two more victims are claimed before the solution is reached. The film is crammed full of incident which, if it is intended to distract the attention from the real murderer, is eminently successful. Incident follows on incident arid suicide on murder with bewildering rapidity so that one is tempted to wonder if there will be anyone left to expose the villain in the "final scene. This task is entrusted to Edward Arnold, who of course as tlie detective cannot be spared. A particularly striking scene is one in which a hypnotist is called in to try to drag the rest of the story from the subconscious minds of the suspects, of whom there are at least five. His methods are successful, but a bullet prevents him from disclosing the murderer. The film is enlivened with quick repartee and a refreshing variety of humorous characters. Robert Young and Constance Cummincs make a most successful team, playing their parts with a deftness and a keen realisation of the dramatic possibilities of many of their scenes. When Constance Cummings realises that the body of their host lying huddled in bed is really dead she displays acting talent of a high order, while remaining the gay and rather irresponsible young woman in other scenes, Edward Arnold makes' a genial detective with a wonderful capacity for changing to the grimmest third degree measures when the occasion warrants it. He is ably assisted by Ed Brophy, who, besides providing the humour, is able to stumble on a clue that ultimately proves of the greatest help. Two newsreels containing many items of j topical interest and a musical medley complete a fine programme. LIBERTY, PARNELL. Robert Montgomery and Madge Evans head the cast of the thrilling " drama, "Fugitive Lovers," which is the main feature on the programme at the Liberty Cinema, Parnell, to-night. Such names as these are suflicieiiT guarantee of the quality of the performance. The other feature is the comedy' drama, "The Best Man Wins," with the wise-cracking Edmund Lowe and Jack Holt playing the leading parts. STRAND, ONEHUNGA. One of those brilliant modern comedies with which the names of Robert Montgomery, .Joan Crawford and Franchot Tone are so often associated is screening to-night at the Strand Theatre, Onehunga. Its title is "No More Ladies." Bette Davis is to be seen in "Fog Over 'Frisco.",
