ENTERTAINMENTS

REGENT THEATRE

A beautiful new star, with a charming voice and alluring personality, is introduced in "Where is This Lady?" tho new picture at the Regent Theatre. She is Marta Eggert, and her foreign accent of tho Garbo stylo is well placed in a musical comedy of modern Vienna. * Marta Ec.gert, however, has more than appearance, voice, and personality. She is a very clever littlo actress, and provides an admirable partner -for Owen Nares, tho popular English actor. I The story follows tho usual light-hearted lines of musical comedy, and concerns a young Berlin bank director, Rudls Muller (Owen Nares), who Is dispatched by his co-directors to Vienna on a matrimonial mission which is intended to replenish the depleted coffers of the bank. Rudi has been in Vienna before, and he wastes no time iv renewing his acquaintance with its night life. In tho meantime, tho mother and legal adviser of an aristocratic family aro preparing for the cs.U of the German banker, who, by marrylug the daughter, is to restore the family's fortunes. Needless to say both Rudi and Lucl, the girl, have other Intentions—Rudl's following tho tempting, of fato by the tossing off a hotel balcony of a theatre ticket for the seat adjoining the one he has engaged. There is much light-hearted intrigue carried out with plenty of clovor, humorous dialogue, and, running through the whole plcco a succession of catchy songs. Wendy Barry and George K. Arthur take two of the leading parts. The supports comprise newsrcels, a Tasmanian scenic feature, and a collection of Items by "The Seventy Club," the members of which are all past the seventy mark.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

"Tl/e Laugh Parade," the latest of the revue shows presented by the popular Frank Neil Company, again last evening delighted a large audience at the Grand Opera House. The programme is just what is needed to counter that end-of-the-week feeling (or beginning, for that matter), for it is. bright and clever, never particularly serious, and generally most thoroughly laughable. George Wallace takes a leading part .right through, and is ably backed up by Syd. Beck, Billy Maloney, and.Maurice Barling, in comedy sketches and just nonsense. On the musical side ihe revue haa \much to recommend it. Ther% are patches from grand opera, song hits, and bright orchestral and specialty numbers. Miss Miriam Lester and Mr. David McGiil are rightly popular with Wellington audiences, and Jack Shooner's Savoy Band keeps the evening moving brightly. The acrobatic work of the Five Cleveres Is of a very high standard, Murray and Welton are clever dancers, and Maida Jones combines dancing and singing delightfully. "The Laugh Parade" will.bo. repeated tonight, ~

DE LUXE THEATRE,

No fewer than three members of the Barry-] more family appear in "Rasputin and the Empress," Metro-Goldwyn-Mayor's story of the life of the strange ■ imposter who dominated the Russian Court ln the days just before the World War. This is *a ioug and striking production of a; startling drama enriched by the acting of America's "royal family of the stage" and produced, by Richard Boleslavskl, a man who took part in the 'fighting of the Russian revolution. The- story of Rasputin's rise to power through his healing of thei heir to the throne, and his rule of the Court through ../.dominance.,.of. the. Empress Is ;told with a wealth of strange incident.and many tense moments. ■ The murder of/(he spurious priest.is related with .ilnhistorical'but startling detail. •'The film'is scarcely founded on fact, but the Creator _i_k«s' use of -his;;licence to give a'-gripping anduhusual production. Lionel Barryjjlore*: gives a remarkable pprforniance as the tempestuous Rasputin, John Is Prince ChegodietT, the slayer of tho monk, while- Ethel Barrymore plays the Empress with much feeling for the part. Diana SVynyard and Ralph Morgan are among the large supporting cast. The programme also Includes the latest newsreels, and a whole series of songs by the popular Mr. Paul T. Cullen, who off-jrs "The Song of the Volga Boatman," "Spanish Memories," and a special feature, "The Girl in the Little Green Hat." The bill will be repeated until Thursday evening next.

PARAMOUNT THEATRE,

- All the- ingredients '.which constitute the best of English farce are'brought into play in "The Mayor's Nest/ which is now being shown at tho Paramount 7Theatrc. Sydney Howard, the droll, •weak-faced comedian, dominates tho picture with his quaint helplessness and ingenuous humour. More through social' inertia than ability he rises from penury to the position of-Mayor, though why no one seems exactly to-be able to explain.' He Is first elected, to the position of councillor on .the qualification of verbiage, and proceeds to dispose of sundry impossible duties when later' he is elected to mayoral responsibilities. When he acts as the judge of a local court the farce reaches its most ridiculous heights, and there Is more than a-hlnt of satire In some of the episodes, especially those portraying, hlgh-mlndcd, philanthropic citizens. Howard Is supported by Claudo Hulbert, and between them they provide a mixture of English burlesque and American slapstick which is highly entertaining. The gentle buffooneries' of these two, which have the saving element of straight, healthy humour, savour of a Gllbertian touch; and tho film is one long laugh. Muriel Akcd, as a .worthy .social-worker, proves an excellent foil tß'the acting off the other] .Hwo, '-. and' -she. In no small' way, contributes to the success of "The-Mayor's Nest." There Is a largo selection qf scenes from London; a story of the life lof tho orange-tipped butterfly; and other fine Shorts iv the supporting programme. , j The great favourite, Tom Walls, is coming ton Friday next in "Leap Year." Box plans I will open at The Britol on Monday morning.

KING'S THEATRE,

"Silver Dollar," a. picture filled with the thrill and romance of pipneer life ln the mad gold'rush days of Colorado's founding, is the current attraction at the JCing's Theatre. The screen offering is based on Davi.d.Karsner's popu-.-lar book, which tells the rise and fall of Haw Tabor, au, influential pioneer who played an Important and spectacular part in the early history of the nation. The picture presents a rough miner with a "Midas" touch, who soars from poverty to wealth and power. When romance touches him, he discards -the wife who has stood faithfully at his side in the struggle for riches, and with a younger, more beautiful woman starts on a career' of eccentricities that startled the world. While at the peak of his wealth and fame, his fortune collapses with the adoption of tho gold standard., Box plans are at Tho Bristol and theatre. ..

QUEEN'S THEATRE,

"Harmony Row," tho latest of the Efftee talking productions, starring .George Wallace, is. now showing at the Queen's Theatre. From the first moment George appears on the screen, which Is practically at the opening of the film, the laughter never ceases, and the - audience follows his ludicrously comical' adventures a3 a police recruit, as a novice constable ln a very unsavoury neighbourhood, and in some truly hair-raising adventures in a suburban residence in a neighbourhood: of impeccable respectability, to the accompaniment of perpetual roars of mirth. The supporting cast includes Marshall Crosby, John Dobbie, Thelma Scott, Phyllis Baker, Edwin Brett, and little Willie Kerr. , , •

ARTCRAFT THEATRE,

A thrilling drama of the turf by Edgar Wallace, entitled "Tho Calendar," featuring Herbert Marshall, Edna Best, and Gordon Harker, will be the main attraction at the Artcraft Theatre this evening. A break in tho history of Ascot, famous English turf centre, was made when a second meeting was staged for the purpose of filming scenes in "The Calendar." A typical social Ascot gathering thronged the paddock, the Royal enclosure, and Tattcrsall's ring. Horses from the Aga Khan's stables and Edgar Wallace's training : quarters were brought into use.

EMPIRE THEATRE, ISLAND BAY.

Metro-Goldwyn's super special production, "Smllln' Through," starring Norma Shearer, wilt he shown at tho Empire Theatre this evening. . Norma Shearer in this : picture turns away from tho sophistication of her past roles. In her dual roles of Moonyeen and Kathleen slie attains new dramatic heights. A feature of the supporting prqgrammo is "Swing High," starring Pete Smith. A cincsound review, a Metrotone ncw'srcel, and a Fox Australian newsreel complete the' programme.

Marlene Dietrich mado film history with starring roles In "Morocco," "Dishonoured," and "Shanghai Express." "Blonde Venus" is her fourth vehicle for Paramount, and In this production she plays a character that' is entirely different from anything that she has played before. She is cast as a womaii who accepts the love of another man so that sho can save her husband's life.

SHORTT'S THEATRE.

"The .Lawyer's Secret" is beiug shown al Short, s Theatre. It tells tho story of a weakling, who hides'so that another may pay for his crime; of a girl's unquestioning love; of a secret which, revealed, means the life of an Innocent man; concealed, the sacrifice of the happiness of thrco peoplo.

Tho English production, "Sally in our Alley," starring England's biggest vaudeville favourite. Grade Fields, will be shown at Our Theatre tonight. A strong supporting cast Is headed by Ben Field and Florence Desmond. It is a story of beaten track scenes laid on the old Mile End Road, a locality that calls for the portrayal of characters exclusive to this section of London. Excellent supports complete the programme.

CAPITOL THEATRE, MIRAMAR.

England's most famous comedienne, Maisic Gay, together with Cecil Humphrey, is to be seen tonight at the Capitol Theatre. in ihe picturisation.'.of -o'nb of 'Edgar' Wallacfe's greatest stories, "The Old Man." The Story-is full of thrills, mystery, and drama.

ST. JAMES THEATRE,

Once known only ia Ilk-liter roles, pretty Nancy Carroll has now developed iv serious parts, and she combines dignity with feminine appeal in "Tho Kiss Before tlio Mirror," the new picture at the St. James Theatre, lt ia a murder story (with trial scene) calling for strong acting, aud Miss Carroll has two stalwart supports in Fr4l.uk Morgan and Paul Lukas. Possibly the case for the jealousytortured husband who murders his faithless wife has never beeu more persuasively presented. Certainly the mechanism of the 3tory Is very clever, tor Morgan's role (on which the piny pivots) is that of a lawyer defending a husband (Paul Lukas) who has in fact killed his wife caught in infidelity. The zeal with which Morgan, as defending lawyer, puts himself right inside the emotions of the jealous husband has the startling effect of opening his eyes to tho fact that liis own wife (Nuney Carroll) also has a lover. So he deckles to liberate his accused friend by a frenzied "unwritten law'" appeal to tho jury (a line bit of realistic acting, in which his eyes meet those of his wife, who collapses iv court), and he further decides *to signalise the sympatheticjury's verdict of "not guilty" by shooting his own frail love. The first resolvo succeeds brilliantly; as to the second —well, see the Picture. The psychology of a jealous man is eternally interesting, and this clever play, as done by Morgan and Lukas, will ftivo anyone something to think about. In the first part of the programme a novel item, with a decided kick at the finish, is "I Know Everybody"—a storyette built up round Paul Whitcnian's band, and so built up that the storyette dominates the band. A colour film shows salmon leaping up falls, also Moroccan scenes; and the acclimatisation in California (from Imported spate) of big Japanese oysters. Women riders in a point to point hurdle jumping race proviso spills and thrills. Germany honours the memory of Bismarck, and American's financial Bismarck (John D. Rockefeller) is shown playing golf at 93 years of age. Franz Josef Glacier and Nepean rowing races figure in the Australian gazette. Adapted from one of the most widely-read and popular novels by that well-known author, Gilbert Frankau, "Christopher Strong," R.K.O. production, will have its Wellington premiere next Friday at the St. James Theatre. A specially chosen cast, almost entirely English, is headed by Katherine Hepburn, who is fast becoming one of the screen's most polished and most-sought-after actresses, and it looks as if the picture-going public of America, England, Australia, and New Zealand will clamour for more and more of her films. She was last seen in Wellington In "A Bill of Divorcement," in which she scored an instantaneous hit. A performance is given by Colin Clive, the English actor, who plays the title role. Miss Billie Burke repeats her phenomenal success In "Bill of Divorcement." Ireno Brown, who appeared in New Zealand with Julius Knight, has a good part in tbe show. Helen Chandler, Ralph Forbes, and Jack la Rue, a new screen find, also have' prominent parts.'

MAJESTIC THEATRE.

A picture full of humau interest and dramatic situations Is "The Great Jasper" at the*. Majestic Theatre. "The Great Jasper" i opens in a world rather , remote from today; I the day when trams were pulled by horses, arid feminine fashions were rather staid. The star of tho picture is Richard Dix, who Is cast as Jasper Home, a coachman who has the courage to drive tho first electric tram in a little American town. He Is promoted to be a superintendent, but is dismissed. There are two influences in the life of Jasper Home. All his inclinations aro towards a life of wine and women,, but there is also the influence of his home. When his wife learns of his relations with,'another, woman, she wants' to leave 'liini, but' Jasper leaves for Atlantic^ City with his son. Jasper: befriends a fortune teller, and when she dies he takes up astrology, at which ■he, is known as "The Great Jaspe*," aud makes his fortune.' Jasper attempts a' reconciliation with his wife, but without success. Jasper's mode of living is more in keeping wlih the modern world in which tho picture closes, and in his son's fiancee' he sees the result of life without restraint. The modern section of the picture is very interesting. Richard Dix is humorous in many ways as tho genial Jasper, but the picture has its tragic moments, and it is satisfying in every way. "The Great Jasper" is ' probably Dlxs biggest success to date. Among the supports there is an amusing reissue of Charlie Chaplin's "The Vagabond," witli sound synchronisation, and it is well worth seeing. There aro newsreels and a cartoon.

KILBIRNIE KINEMA.

Eddie Cantor, in "Tho Kid from Spain," which opened at the Kilbirnie Kincma today,' is Samuel Goldwyn's annual presentation of •Cantor song-and-dance, following last year's "Palmy Days" and "Whoopee" the year before. In "The Kid from Spain," Eddie marches out, neither bravely nor willingly, to show his skill and* grace as a matador. Escape from the: police who are pursuing him, protection from the Mexican thugs about to put him on the spot, the adoring eyes of the elongated blondo sex menace, and solving his roommate's difficult love affairs are all among the reasons that bolt Eddie into the arena in the thrilling colourful climax to tlio story.

BRITANNIA THEATRE.

The fastest moving action picture of the season^ is showing at the Britannia Theatre ■•"tilth the appearance of William Haines and rail all-star cast in "Fast-Life," the breath-taking motor-boat racing picture recently completed at Catalina Island, and in tho Los Angeles Harbdur by the Metrb-Goldwyn-Mayer studios. Haines is given- ono of the strongest portrayals of his career as the irrepressible "Sandy," a motor-boat mechanic who has a new Idea for an engine that will break the world's record. Ho drives his boat through a raco that will send 'thrilling chills, down the spine of, even the most apathetic theatregoer.

SEASIDE PICTURES, LYALL BAY.

' "Out All Night," starring Slim Summervllle and Zasu Pitts, will bo shown at tho Seaside Pictures, Lyall Bay, tonight. No more sparkling screen comedy has been shown than "Out All Night." The picture literally bristles with witty dialogue, and the entiro story is a con-,: stant succession of hilarious situations. Its: rollicking humour rushes along at breakneck speed, -and tho climax comes in a really exciting series of dramatic scenes.

BROOKLYN PICTURES,

Amazingly different ln plot, and as excit-, ing as it is'original, .'"JJhe Lame Dog Inn Mystery," new RKO-Radlo picture which is showing tonight at the Brooklyn Theatre, provides romance mixed with virile entertainment of tho spine-tingling variety.
