CURRENT ENTERTAINMENTS

REGENT THEATRE.

"Sweet Aloes," the excellent film version of the highly successful London play, now showing for a second week &c the Regent Theatre, is a human drama of a beautiful girl, the daughter of a book collector, who fell in love with the married son of an English lord. The girl, Linda (Kay Francis), is lost in the fog of her own emotions, and her father dies at Naples before she can ask his advice. A mutual friend of her father and Lord Farrington, "Tubbs" Barrow (a part admirably played by Rpland Young), comes to her assistance. She is about to become a mother and ' Lord Farrington is informed. Desiring an heir, he offers to take the child, and give it all the advantages of wealth and affection, if she will surrender it and bury herself in America. She does so, marries Jim . Baker .(.George Brent), and moves in fashionable New York circles, but is unable to force from her mind the memory of her former romance. The drama moves to a fast and happy climax. The supports include a coloured cartoon.' MAJESTIC THEATRE. "The Gorgeous Hussy j" which is in its second week at the lMajestic Theatre, tells the story of the stormy circumstances in which Andrew Jackson was elected to the Presidency of the Union, and the part played in the life of the President by his niece, Peggy O'Neal, the daughter of an innkeeper. Peggy, who is splendidly played by Joan Crawford, found a few years' happiness in marriage with a naval officer, who, however, is killed in action. At this stage Peggy stepped into the gap left in Andrew Jackson's heart by the death of his wife, and became his unofficial "first lady." Peggy's sacrifice of her love for John Randolph, a Virginian Senator and her marriage with John Eaton, Secretary of State for War, lead up to a brilliant climax. Melvyn Douglas, Robert Taylor, and Lionel Barrymore have the leading male roles. ST. JAMES THEATRE. "Three Smart Girls," at the St. James Theatre, is a delightful picture in every way, in its appealing story of three girls who are determined to end their mother's unhappiness and to separate, by the greatest distance possible, their father and his gold-digging lady friend, in the extremely clever dialogue, and in the splendid cast, headed by Charles \Winninger, of "Show Boat" memory, and brightened by Deanna Durbin, a new star, who, unlike quite a number of discoveries, will remain a star. Deanna Durbin is fourteen years of age, and gained her start because of her wonderful lyric soprano voice. She has a charming natural manner, and is altogether happy in her first big film. Others in the cast are Binme> Barnes, Alice Brady, John .King, and Ray ■ Milland. There are also interesting supporting pictures, including gazettes, giving the latest world news. , PARAMOUNT THEATRE. Carole Lombard and William Powell prove that they are two of the finest comedy stars in Hollywood in 'My Man Godfrey," which is playing a return screening at the Paramount Theatre. The cleverly-written story concerns one of the richest, and at the same time, maddest, families in New York—the Bullocks. During a "scavenger hunt" in which everyone has to ■find something that is ."forgotten," Irene Bullock (Carole Lombard) and CorneiUia Bullock (Gail Patrick) set out for a city dump, where they find a "forgotten" man —William Powell as Godfrey. He is taken into the Bullock household as butler and encounters many strange situations. Those in the supporting cast are Alice Brady, Gail Patrick, and Alan Mowbray. The first half includes several interesting newsreels and travelogues. KING'S THEATRE. America's first semi-military organisation of State officers, the Texas Rangers, is made the theme of a panoramic film history of the early Lone Star State in King Vidor's epic "The Texas Rangers," a Paramount picture now 'showing at the King's Theatre. The .picture features Fred Mac Murray and the wise-cracking Jack Oakie.in leading roles, as one-time "bad men" who sign up for duty with the rangers. The adventurous life of the fearless men who undertook to clean up Texas as rangers is depicted through the exploits of Mac Murray and Oakie. Dramatic Indian battles, fights of the rangers .with rustlers, and the colourful career of Sam McGee, oarly desperado, are worked into a story centring about the two, Lloyd Kolan and Jean Parker. Bennie Bartlett and Edward Ellis have important supporting roles. PRINCESS THEATRE. , To film the greater proportion of the tropical scenes for "Uncivilised," which is. the leading attraction at the Princess Theatre, the entire company journeyed to North Queensland. Wonderful scenic shots are seen, dark secrets unearthed, and "unusual flashes of native life shown for the first time on the screen, as the vparty advances further into Northern -Australia. The principal characters are portrayed by Dennis Hoey, Margot Rhys, Marcelle Marnay, Ashton Jarry. The second feature stars Maurice Chevalier in "The Beloved Vagabond," a sparkling screen adaptation of w. J. Locke's world-popular romance. Among :the short subjects are an Oswald cartoon, an item of the "Stranger Than •Fiction" series, and a Pathe Pictorial. REX THEATRE. "Bengal Tiger," now showing at.the Kex Theatre, is a melodramatic thrill--oacked story of circus life. Besides Barton Mac Lane in the cast are Satan, a man-killing tiger, June Travis, Warren Hull, Paul Graetz, Joseph King, Don Barclay, Gordon Hart, and Carlyle Moore, jun. The picture is a revelation of the intimate lives of the Big Top folk, both before the public and in their private tents. "Rhythm on the Range," the associate feature, casts Bing Crosby and George Burns as cowboys. Crosby wins money to \>uy a prize bull, during the course of a New York rodeo, and starts for Arizona in a box car with the animal. He has company in the person of Miss Farmer, a society miss fleeing from ~in unwanted marriage. Six song hits are heard in this rollicking tale of romance and melody. PALACE THEATRE, PETONE. . "Two in. a Crowd," a romantic comedy-drama, with Joan Bennett and Joel McCrea heading'a great cast, is showing at the Palace Theatre, Petone. "King of the Royal Mounted;" Zane Grey's greatest story, with Robert Kent starred and Rosalind Keith and Alan Dinehart heading a cast of screen favourites, is also on the bill. GRAND THEATRE, PETONE. "Come And Get It!" Samuel Goldwyn's production of Edna Ferber's colourful novel of the lumber camps, featuring Edward Arnold, Joel McCrea, and Frances Farmer, is the main attraction at the Grand Theatre, Petone. Arnold has his greatest role as Barney Glasgow, a lumber baron, who, in his youth had gi,ven up love for power, and years later is mocked by his own decision when he falls madly in love with the daughter of the woman he once loved, and finds his own son his successful rival. STATE THEATRE, PETONE. "East Meets West," starring George Arliss, screens at the State Theatre, Petone, tonight. It is melodrama of a robust nature, with Arliss giving a characteristic performance as a crafty Sultan who replenishes his exchequer by deft diplomacy involving Great Britain, and an Eastern Power. De.veloped with great effect, ornate settings, large crowd scenes, gripping sus--pense, and the star's personality have combined to make a rich offering for all lovers a£ spectacle and drama,

CITY. AND SUBURBAN THEATRES

NEW PLAZA THEATRE.

"That Girl from Paris," the main attraction at the New Plaza Theatre, bids fair to be the most outstanding musical film of the year. It may well do so, for as its star it has the beautiful and talented operatic soprano Lily Pons, whose as yet short career at Hollywood has been crowned with success. Hers is a congenial role, for she appears as Niki, the toast of the Paris Opera, who flees to America to escape from a manager and family who wish to ensure the success of her career by throwing her into the arms of a director of -the opera. Niki is determined to get to New York, and sees that, as her passport has been stopped, the only way for her to manage the trip is with the assistance, willing or unwilling, of a shipboard dance band led by "Windy" McLean (Gene Raymond) and including Jack Oakie. Her subsequent adventures make excellent entertainment. The most outstanding part of the film is the singing of Lily Pons, who renders "Love and Learn," "Call to Arms," "Moonface," "Seal. It With a Kiss," a "swing" setting' of "The Blue Danube," and the aria ' "Un Voce Poco Fa" from "The Barber of Seville." Newsreels and a brilliant undersea featurette complete a fine programme. STATE THEATRE. The Mississippi boat-dwellers, with their rugged, happy-go-lucky personalities and their inherent love of melody, make a story rich with romance and action and flavoured with whimsical humour in "Banjo on my Knee," now screening at the State Theatre. The leading players are Walter Brennan, Joel McCrea, Barbara Stanwyck, and Katherine de Mille. Many of the old Mississippi songs are introduced in new settings. Among them are "St. Louis Woman," "St. Louis Blues," and the newer melodies, "Banjo on My Knee" (a song and dance number by Buddy Ebsen), "Where the Lazy River Goes By," sung by Barbara Stanwyck, and "There's Something in the Air," sung by Anthony Martin, a find among screen voices. Comedy is provided by Buddy Ebsen and Walter Brennan, whose one-man band is an amazing novelty item. The shortfeature programme includes an interesting .newsreel of Olympic events. ROXY THEATRE. Presenting William Powell and Ginger Rogers, and telling a story replete with mystery, suspense, romance, and comedy, ."Star of Midnight," which is now showing at the Roxy Theatre, is a delightfully entertaining and completely absorbing picture. The well-conceived, closely-knit plot moves gaily at times, and at other times with stark tensity towards a hair-raising climax. The romantic theme is subtly woven into the main story. A thrilling Western romance. "Justice of the Range." starring Tim McCoy, will be the supporting feature. SHORTT'S THEATRE. Colourful'and impressive, Columbia's "Hell-ship Morgan," featuring George Bancroft, Ann Sothern, and Victor Jory, which is showing at Shortt's Theatre, is a roaring and powerful tale of the sea and the men who earn their livelihood from the deep. The film's action takes place aboard one of the typical fishing* boats that ply the tuna trade in the shark-infested Mexican waters. A dramatic portrayal of a man's fight to regain his former position of wealth and power, accomplished through his love for a girl whose life he is ultimately called upon to save when she i£ accused of murder, provides the exciting theme of the second feature, "The Final Hour." Heading the cast are Ralph Bellamy and Marguerite Churchill. ;>. KILBIRNIE KINEMA. "Secret Agent," which stars Madeleine Carroll, Peter Lorre, John Glelgud, and Robert Young, shows at the Kilbirnie Kinema tonight. This grand successor to the. famous Hitchcock thriller, "The 39 Steps," is a gripping adaptation of Somerset Maugham's "Ashenden," and is the story of a secret service man who sets out to thwart a German spy during the Great War. "Moonlight Murder," Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's amazing drama of the, killing of an operatic tenor before an audience of 20,006 in the famous Hollywood Bowl, is the second feature. Chester Morris as the detective and Madge Evans as his sweetheart solve the mystery, after everyone in the cast has been under suspicion. OUR THEATRE, NEWTOWN. A clever and amusing comedy of modern city life is depicted in "Wife Versus Secretary," the main attraction now showing at Our Theatre. Clark Gable plays the part of. a millionaire executive with a happy home and an attractive wife (Myrna Loy). Unfortunately he also possesses an1 attractive and clever young secretary (Jean Harlow), whom he relies on to a large extent for the safe conduct of his business. Although she tries hard not to be suspicious of the movements of her husband and his secretary, the young wife, finally becomes jealous, and matters reach a climax ■when the millionaire goes on a .trip to Havana, there to be joined by his secretary, while the wife remains in New York. Wheeler and Woolsey are co-starred in "Mummy's Boys," the associate feature. 4 ■ ' REGAL THEATRE, KARORI. "Sons o' Guns," showing at the Regal Theatre tonight and tomorrow, is a hilarious comedy-romance of World War days, based on the play by Fred Thompson and Jack Donahue, with music and lyrics by Harry Warren and Al Dubin. Joe E. Brown has the stellar role while others in the cast in--clude Joan Blondeli; Beverly Roberts, Eric Blore, Craig Reynolds, Joseph King, and Robert Barrat. The picture is most colourful and picturesque, and is staged with more elaborateness than any previous Joe B. Brown comedy. Also on the bill is one of the "March of Time" offerings. EMPIRE THEATRE, ISLAND BAY. "China Clipper," the main feature at the Empire Theatre, is a glamorous romance of the air, marking a milestone in the pictorial history of daring aviation. The talented cast includes Pat O'Brien, Beverly Roberts, Ross Alexander, Humphrey B. Walthall in the principal roles. "Snowed Under," the associate feature, is a rollicking comedyrromance in which a playwright is snowhound in a Connecticut farmhouse with two ex-wives and a sweetheart while he is madly trying lo finish a drama. The cast includes George Brent, Genevieve Tobin, Frank McHugh, Glenda Farrcll, Patricia Ellis, John Eldredge, Porter Hall, and HelenLowell. CAPITOL THEATRE, MIRAMAR. That vivid story of the internal struggles of China, "The General Died, at Dawn," is the main feature at the Capitol Theatre. The acting, scenery, and photography convey a realistic image of the conditions of the country, and the romance and intrigue which form the plot have the benefit of a convincing background. Gary Cooper, and Madeleine Carroll are the stars. "Walking on Air," a bright comedy interspersed with popular songs, has Ann Sothern and Gene Raymond in • the main roles. SEASIDE THEATRE, LYALL BAY. "Storm Over the Andes" and "Under Two Flags" screen at the Seaside Theatre, Lyall Bay, tonight. Jack Holt is starred in "Storm Over the Andes," which deals with an American soldier of fortune who joins the air corps of one of the fighting countries of South America as a combat pilot. Antonio Moreno, Mona Barric, and Gene Lockhart arc also in the cast. Ronald Colman, Claudette Colbert, Victor McLaglen, and Rosalind Russell head the cast in Quida's immortal romance of the Foreign Legion. Romantic adventure and thrilling action make this an outstanding picture

TIVOLI THEATRE. "The .Last of the Mohicans" and "Where's Sally" conclude at the Tivoli Theatre tonight. RIVOLI THEATRE. Francis Lederer and the lovely Ann Sothern make gay the screen of the Hivoli Theatre, playing in Paramount's "My American Wife." The picture spins the tale of a foreign nobleman who weds an American girl and returns to her Arizona home, only to learn that she wants him to remain in braid and spangles, while he wants to become a rancher. Fred Stone and Billie Burke, aided by Ernest Cossart and Grant Mitchell, round out the excellent cast and keep the romance moving at a brisk pace until the close. The Marx Brothers furnish the fun and three singing favourites of the Broadway stage, Kitty Carlisle, Allan Jones, and Walter King, furnish the songs in "A Night at the Opera," which is also showing. Previewed on the stage to test original comedy situations before a single scene was filmed, the new comedy is the most ambitious and riotously funny of any produced by the Merry.Madcaps of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayor. ■ ■ ■' '. '■' . ■■■■'■.' ' ■ • MASSED BANDS. Considerable disappointment1 was felt when the massed bands' display arranged in January last was postponed owing to the heavy rain on the Saturday. Elaborate preparations have now been made for a display on Sunday afternoon next by the seven bands of the Wellington Association at Newtown Park. Music by the massed bands will be heard and exhibitions will be given by the Municipal Tramways' Band, winners of the B grade championship at the recent New Zealand contest, and the Institute Silver Band, which filled second place in the aggregate. ' GAIETIES' NEW REVUE Infectious humour and cheerfulness lie behind Stanley McKay's new Gaieties revue, now-being produced at the New Opera House. "In Sunny Hawaii," which commenced, on Saturday, certainly meets the approval of the audience, and the catchy tunes, laughable sketches, and subtle wisecracks are ■of a calibre sufficiently high to guarantee its success. Joe Lawman, popular Australian comedian, heads the cast, and his talented feminine partner, Stella Lamond, is well to the fore-in most of the main numbers. Without Stella Lamond the show would lose much of its appeal, for her attractive personality and whimsical type'5 of humour are the features of the production, After several' vocal numbers and an amusing sketch the Warren Brothers, comic tumblers, appeared in a typical number which, in addition to providing plenty of laughter, also demonstrated their unusual ability as acrobats. The two principals appeared in a satirical sketch on modern medical practice, entitled."Rejuvenation." Kathleen Howarde sang a popular number, supported by the Gaieties Girls, and another sketch, "The Family Scandal," followed, Joe Lawman, ,as a rather rough-looking chauffeur,; being exposed as an unsuspected Don Juan. The climax was unexpected and amusing. The Hilo Duo,' who proved such a success in former Gaieties shows, again had the audience enraptured with their songs and tunes on pianoaccordion and. saxophone, i the phenomenon of voluntary community .singing on the part of the audience again being witnessed. Several short numbers followed, and then Joe Lawman starred in "Baby's Wrist Watch." Elvy Ferguson, with the fiddle, made sweet music as a prelude to Joe Lawman and Stella Lamond indulging in "outbursts of cheeky chatter," which gave plenty of opportunity for wisecracking. The Hawaiian Fantasy, which featured the Hilo Duo, was the highlight of the show, and was artistically carried put. The stage was arranged to depict a Hawaiian village scene and the dancing and musical numbers were excellently produced. Stella Lamond's most outstanding performance was in "The Grand Hotel," an amusing sketch introducing many strange characters who were thrown together, as it were,..by the chance of fate. "The Bar 8.0. Ranche". was another sketch, and Joe Lawman had some amusing comments to make at the expense of the actors and actresses concerned. Stella Lamond followed with some "Impressions and Expressions" and "The Nudist Movement," besides containing its full quota of humour, managed to deliver a sly dig at the ideas of the modern "intellectual" type of young man and woman. The Flying Martinettis, acrobats and balancers, provided the last big item in a very enjoyable and amusing entertainment.
