NEW OPERA HOUSE.

Ursula Parrott wrote "There's Always Tomorrow," and a fine cast of stage'and screen favourites interprets it at the New Opera House.. Essentially a .family story, it,tells, of .a misunderstood husband who seeks his pleasures elsewhere. Very human are the domestic touches: the wife immersed in her: family of young men and women. The children have grown up : With the-idea that their male parent is merely a, provider and there ia,a lack of love and tolerance among them.' When 'it is revealed to the' children that, their father does not. spend his evenings at lodge, where he is supposed to be, there is the danger of a family debacle, for the elder son is about to tell 'his mother of his father's guilt when his-fiancee by an adroit move turns.the tables and saves • the father's secret. AH very .simple, but very human, with incidents of family life that are perhaps typical of hundreds of homes. The simple little story depends on characterisation for its main success^ and on the.humanity of its theme. Binnie Barnes, a ; popular London * star"" who has been a. big success in Hollywood and spends her time between the film centre and her beloved husband,; is cast as" the other woman, whose mysterious place in the life and affection of Joseph White (ably played by I'rank Morgan) is the'chief cause of the White children's anger. Incidentally her wardrobe is something io admire. ' Lois Wilson is the'1 mother absorbed in her family to the'neglect of her husband; Margaret Hamilton, a famous American stage star, is .cast as 'Ella, the maid; and the:family and 'friends are portrayed by Louise Latimer, Elizabeth, Youni?, Alan Hale, Robert Taylor, and others. The supporting programme is excellent—aa interesting review, of world happenings; odd facts in technicolour under the title of Strange as it May Seem"; and a musical comedy, "Demi Tasse."
