GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

liilid against a background of wealth and luxury, "Mau Wanted;" Kay Francis's latest picture, which was shown for the first time at the Grand Opera House yesterday, should find favour with most audiences. "Man Wanted" was specially written for Miss Irancis by an anonymous author. The stovy concerns a rich young woman who finds idle society life too empty for her, and turns to business as an outlet for her ambitions. She publishes ii smart magazine in order to occupy her time. Her husband, however, has a different outloolt an life. Being wealthy, ho has no need to work, and, while his wife la at business,'ho occupies his time by playing polo and paying attention to other women. In the meantime. Kay finds a new interest in life in the l'oi-m of a male private secretary whom she has appointed. An ever increasing Intimacy develops between the two, and although many tilings, Including- the engagement of the secretary to another- woman, stand in the way of them finding happiness, everything works out satisfactorily to all concerned. There is an undercurrent of humour running through the story. Miss Francis gives a faultless performance, and is more charming than ever. She is ably supported by David Manners (the secretary), Andy Devine (the husband), Una Merkcl, Claire Dofld, and many others. There is much ot interest in the supporting programme.
