Another tine . Imi .u ti l isation is given by lovely Anita l.ouisr, one ot the most naturally beautiI'll of all llolh wood actresses, while altei I onnoll\ , \j< tor Jorv, Louise Ka/.endit ami Mai jot le (Jatenon <apably support tlie pi incipa Is. The background ol the plot is Washington. with politics, tea table intrigue, t'i iniiiine and chain journalism all coming in lor a fair share or the "spoofing." The nature of the film is soniewliat novel, in that it. is a mixture of neat humour and good-natured satire, with the less attractive aspects ot' both conspicuous by their absence. In the_ development of the plot, Lucy Chase Wayne, wife of the Secretary of State, Stephen Wayne, and Irene Hibbard, wife of a Supreme Court judge, Carter Hibbnrd. do what they can to get presidential nomination for -their respective husbands. What thev do, iri concert with party leaders, an influential publisher, and an equally influential clubwoman. is for the dialogue and not the icviewer to tell. Another film that is of a somewhat similar but more obvious lightheadedness is "Footloose Heiress," the associate feature. In it, Ann Sheridan, as Kay .Mlyn, the "footloose heiress," is first seen fleeing to an elopement wjth her father in pursuit. At a cross-roads, "Butch" (Craig Reynolds), a happy-go-lucky tramp, lends his assistance to the irate fnther, and between them they catch the fleeing Miss Alljn. The efforts of the wilful voting lady to majtc a laughing stock of "Butch," who tirirns out to be heir to a considerable fortune himself, and his successful self-defcnce, provide for several hilarious, and one or two thrilling, situations.

Altogether, tlie programme is one that nVioukl prove popular with most film-goers. CIVIC. "We're Going to bo Rich," co-starting Victor McLaglen and Gracic Fields, in its second week at the Civic Theatre, presents u flection of the world that has rarely been depicted on the screen. The action moves from Australia to South Africa in tho day* when goldrushes were an almoat rvcrjr-day occurrence. "Our Gracic" makes her debut in Alma under American control and gives one -of her best perform> nnces to dato. McLaglen carries on hie long-standing feud with Brian Donlevy, also in tho cast, with unabated vigour, aad gives ouc of the roistering, hard-fisted but aoft-heartsa jjortrayals for. which he is so popular. The story, which deal* with tho adventures and romance of McLaglen and Miss Fields, as huaband and wife, when the intrusion of Donlevy upsets their domestic tranquility, was written by Sam Hellman, popular American author and scenarist, in a collaboration with Rohnma Siegel. A new, rollicking hit tune that is likely to be whistled by tlie message boys before long, "Trek Ferreira," by Pollack and Mitchell, heads tho list of seven songs which ore introduced in Grocie's inimitable fashion during the film. PRI2VCE EDWARD, NEWTON. Worthy of ranking with the most convincing of all the "tough guys" of Hollywood J« Edward G. Robinson, whose lutest film, "The Last Gangster," heads the current programme at tho Pnnco Edward Theatre, Newton. Those wfco saw the square-jawed little actor in "Bullets or Ballots" and other of hia previous triumphs will need little persuading to go to seo this film. which in right up to liis highest standard. Rose Stradner, •James Stewart, Lionel Stander and Douglas Scott ably support the star in important roles. The story traces the downfall of Joe Kroasac (Robinson), a powerful gangster, from the time, he is sent to A lent rax prison soon after his marriage. "The Lady Fights Back." the associate feature, co-stars Kent Taylor and Irene llervcy.

STAR, NEWTON. » It was • great screen event when the favourite of radio and stage, Sandy Powell, made hie film debut, and from then he lias gone on to reach great heights. One ot his best to date is "It's a Grand Old World," which heads as attractive programme at the Star Theatre. Karansahape Road. Sandy is at his funniest, and sings several of bis inimitable comedy wnpComputing this programme to "Sing While You're Able," an outstanding musics! in the modern style, with plenty of catchy tunes and fast-stepping dance turns.

Recognised by virtue of their Academy acting awards for 1037 as the greatest stars of the modern cinema world, Spencer Tracy und Luise Kaincr are co-starred tor the first time in the absorbing human drama, "Big City," which us the main attraction at the State Theatre, Symonds Street. Bookings indicate that large crowds will attend to-night.

Breck gets into trouble quickly, and manages to get himself gaoled. At this stage Midge realises her love and even becomes a female bullfighter to get him out of prison. Breck, however, eurergejs to save her from the bull, and strange things happen to everyone in the picture as true love finds a way. The melody of the film is unusual; indeed, the whole piece is an out-of-the-ordinary attraction. It has a unique appeal and is worth the attention of everyone. Lavishly produced, and blending romance, comedy and exotic Mexican music, it is a notable show, entirely different and vastly superior to the musical-comedy-romances released here of recent months. An eutirely different note is struck in the co-featured attraction, "Prison Farm,'' which co-stars Shirley Boss and Lloyd Nolan. Others in the cast are John Howard, J. Carrol Naish, Porter Hall, Marjorie Main, Anna Xilsson and Esther Dale. A prison drama, "Prison Farm" is a tine document for humanitarian treatment of the unfortunates who come up against the law.

EMBASSY. With "Merrily We Live" now in its ninth week at the Embassy Theatre, to set ■» record for films whose entertainment value depends solely on acting, it is hardly necessary to state the self-evident fact that it may be classed as the most popular production of its type ever seen here. The plot, centring round an irresponsible family, is not anything very much out of the ordinary, but artistic direction, combined with superlative acting by each and every member of the comparatively small cut, lifts the picture into a class by itself. Billie Burke, who surely reaches her zenith as an actress in the film, shares her place at the top of the bill with Constance Bennett and Brian Aherne. both of whom are equally outstanding. The supporting cast includes recognised comedy players who reach new high levels of excellence in Alan Mowbray, Bopita Granville, Patsy Kelly and Tom Brown.

TUDOR, RBMUEKA. Beautiful' French star Annabella takes the leading role in "Dinner at the Ritz,", which is at the Tudor Cinema, Remuera. Paul Lukas and David Niven are the principal male players. Annabella is again a glamorous figure. Good supports are also showing. VICTORIA, DEVONPORT.

English favourites, Vivien Leigh and Rex Harrison, are the leading players in "Storm In a Teacup," the comedy now at the Mayfair Theatre, Sandringham.

Shirley, has opposite her virile Victor McLaglen. BRITANNIA, PONSONBY.

"GIRL OP THE GOLDEN WEST." ST. JAMES'. . Mary Robblns . . Jeanette Mac Donald. Ranierez (alias Lieut Johnson). Nelson Eddy. Jack Ranee Walter Pidgeon. Mosquito Leo Carrillo. Alabama Buddy Ebsen. Pedro Leonard Penn. Director : Robert Z. Leonard (M.G.M.). Any programme with Jeanette MacDonald and .Nelson Eddy cast in singing roles as one of its features would command the attention of the picture public, but when these songsters come together in that great favourite of lyrical romances from yesteryear's stage hits, "Girl of the Golden West," with new musical features added, they make an irresistible attraction for those who love a wide range of good songs and a setting of charm and romance. Allied as it was in its Auckland premiere at St. James' Theatre last night with a supporting programme of an excellence in variety and interest which is characteristic of St. James' first parts, it provided an entertainment which should spell full houses for some time to come.

Hanging from the most popular of Liszt and Gounod compositions, through California)! folk songs and dreamy modern waltz tuinn to sprightly Spanish melodies, the music appeals to all tastes and gives opportunities for the two leading players to display their voices in such songs as best suit their tone and capacity. The love ballads and songs of the road with which Eddy's rich rolling baritone have been delightfully associated are there for him, while Mi*s Mac Donald's sweet soprano not only harmonises and graces the love duets, but lifts at times to greater heights in the classics of Liszt and Goui:od. But musical treat is only a portion of the entertainment, for all the spectacle, romance and comedy that made Belasco's play a great stage hit arc also there. It has a picturesque outdoor setting and every advantage has been taken for reproducing the thrill of the gold-rush days. Riotous saloons, bandits, soldiers and the Spanish setting of early California give dash and colour to the action, and one of the scones is a highly spectacular reproduction of a Spanish dancing fiesta. Walter Pidgeon and Leo Cariillo are among the many characters, and a figure of notable comedy is Buddy Ebsen, who has a comedy song all to himself. Clearly tiie producers have striven for something that will outdo in attractiveness "Naughty Marietta" and "Rose Marie," and they have succeeded in getting a picture which has greater action and thrill in the episodes and at least rivals those two notable productions in its melodic charm. "The Gill of the Golden West" has a large cast apart from the two singing principals, and even without them would be first-class entertainment. With them, it becomes a prestige picture, and as presented at St. .James it has the added •supporting attractions ot a Pete Smith specialty and a study of the sleeping death research, as well as the usual new-sreel topical features. REGENT. An enthralling page from American history, hitherto almost unknown, is spotlighted in "Yellow Jack," now in its second week at the Regent Theatre. Robert Montgomery shows that his memorable portrayal of the sadistic Danny in "Night Must Fall" was no flash in the pan by giving another impressive dramatic performance in the leading role as Sergeant O'Hara, an American soldier fighting in the Spanish-American war. j Virginia Bruce plays the feminine lead | and that fine actor Lewis Stone portrays the historical character of Major Walter Reed, who was instrumental in the isolation of yellow fever. Director Seitz placed the action of the film against the tropical background of an army medical encampment after the Spanish-American war. The capable supporting cast includes | Andy Devine, Henry Hull, Charles i Coburo, Buddy Ebsen and Alan Curtis. The storv tells of .the struggle of an army medical mission to ascertain the cause of a yellow fever epidemic and how the doctors succeeded through the heroism of five "human guinea pigs" when apparently on the verge of failure. The sentimentality, which could easily have been overdone, has been handled deftly, with the result that the film is one of the most effective of the year. ROXY-TIVOLI. What may aptly be termed a "streamlined" Western is "Border G-man," which beads the current programme at the Roxy and Tivoli Theatres. The story is much more up to date than in most films of its type and involves the recent Neutrality Act forbidding the export of arms or munitions to countries which are at war. The unique plot is laid against the background of the gulf coast of Texas, where fast smuggling ships, short-wave radio, machine guns and other modern devices figure prominently in the thrilling action. One who is almost in the veteran stage, but who still commands the admiration of a host of fans for his virile acting in George O'Brien heads the cast and rides, shoots and fights with customary vigour to outwit a merciless gang of munition smugglers. Pretty Laraine Johnson and pleasant-voiced Ray Whitley are also in prominent roles. "Air Devils," with Dick Purcell, Larry Blake and Beryl Wallace, complete* a programme that is packed with action and drama.

CRYSTAL PALACE-RIAL TO. Lavish settings, superb technicolour photography and fine all-round acting performances characterise "The Divorce of Lady X," main current attraction at the Crystal Palace and Rialto Theatres. Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon are co-starred at the head of the cast, and both give amusing performances. Statuesque Binnie Barnes and Morton Selton are prominent in the supporting cast, while the fact that Alexander Korda directed the film is a good guarantee that there will be nothing wronj? with the handling of the scenes. The story, a comedy of mistaken identity, is one that will be thoroughly enjoyed by all who favour sophistication in their entertainment. "Sky Giant," on the same programme, co-stars dynamic Richard Dix and Joan Fontaine. ASTOR, DOMINION ROAD. Ffrst film on Hal Roach's recentlyannounced new programme is "Tamper," version of Thorne Smith's novel, which is at the Astor Theatre, Dominion Road. Cary Grant and Constance Bennett are starred. "The Great Gambini," with Akim Tamiroff, is also showing. THE BERKELEY. Robert Louis Stevenson's epic book "Ebb Tide," in its screen version, is at the Berkeley, Mission Bay. Stars are Oscar Homolka, Frances Farmer and Ray Milland. This is produced entirely in colour. Full election results will also be shown at the Berkeley. PRINCESS, DOMINION ROAD. Those crazy comedy stars, the Ritz Brothers, are up to their old tricks in the hilarious "hill billy" comedv "Kentucky Moonshine," which is at the Princess Theatre, Dominion Road. Co-feature is "Mdlle. Docteur," with Eric Von Stroheim and Dita Parlo as pancipals. REGAL, PONSONBY. "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," film version of Mark Twain's book, in Technicolour, starring Tommy Kelly and May Robson, is the main attraction at the Regal Theatre, Ponsonby. Co-featured is "Law of the Underworld," with Chester Morris and Ann Shirley. REGENT, EPSOM. L6retta Young and Tyrone Power are co-starred in the light romantic comedy, "Second Honeymoon," principal attraction at the Regent Theatre, Epsom. Opera star Lily Pons and Jack Oakie have the leading roles in "Hitting a New High," which is associate feature. PIRATE SHIPPE, MILFORD. There will be the usual old-time dance carnival at the Pirate Shippe, Milford, this evening, when the Pirate Shippe orchestra will provide the music. Election result* will be broadcast at intervals throughout the evening. SKATEWAYS. The customary Saturday night programme will be followed at the Slateway#' skating rink, top of Khyber Pass, this evening, where election results will be broadcast over the loud-speakers during the proceedings.

STRAND. "Elephant Boy," which heads the programme now at the Strand Theatre, is an unusual and engrossing Indian jungle picture, which proved most popular when first shown in the city some time back. It has especial appeal to men, with its unusual realism, humanity and gripping action. The leading role is played by Sabu, the Hindu lad with the magnetic personality who was seen here more recently in "The Drum." What is of particular interest is the attachment shown between mahouts (elephant-drivers) and their elephants, especially that between Sabu and his huge mount Kala Nag. The intelligence of this animal, who responds to the small boy's proddings, is remarkable. One of the most exciting scenes is that in which Sabu calms Kala Nag, berserk with grief at the loss of his master, Sabu's father, who was killed by a tiger, down into his customary docility. The story, which was adapted from Kipling's "Toomai of the Elephants," tells of the adventures of Sabu and Kala Nag before the former persuades the older ] men to initiate him as a hunter. "Red Salute," the second attraction, co-stars two popular players in Barbara Stanwyck | and Robert Young. WINDSOR, PAPAKURA. A thrilling action-drama of newspaper life. "Exclusive," with Fred Mac Murray and Frances Farmer, heads the programme at the Windsor Theatre. Pa,pakura. "Portia on Trial," co-starring Frieda Inescourt and Walter Abel, is also showing. GREY LYNN CINEMA. Robert Taylor, Eleanor Powell and Judy Garland head a galaxy of well-known artists in "Broadway Melody of 1938." which heads the bill of fare at the GreyLynn Cinema. "It's a Grand Old World," on the same programme, stars the popular entertainer, Sandy Powell. SOUTHERN CROSS, ELLERSLIE. "On Again, Off Again," main attraction at the Southern Cross Theatre, Ellerslie, features that ever-popular comedy team, Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey. The golden-voiced little boy soprano, Hobby Brecn, beads the cast of "Make a Wish," on the same "programme. DELTA, NEW LYNN. Sonja Henie, of the twinkling dancing skates, is featured with Don Ameche and Cesar Romero in "Happy Landing," nowshowing at the Delta Theatre, New Lynn. "Smilin' Through," with Norma Shearer and Frederick March, heads the supporting programme, which also includes a film of the Braddock-Farr boxing match. THE GLIDE. The Glide Rhythm Masters will provide music for the usual gala evening session to be held at The Glide Skating Rink, at the corner of Khyber Pass and Park Road to-night. STATE, DEVONPORT.
