ENTERTAINMENTS

OPERA HOUSE TO-NIGHT.

The programme at the Opera House to-night, Saturday and Saturday’s matinee, is unquestionably the most entertaining yet screened in Greymouth. There are two star talkie productions, “Words and Music,” alltalking, singing and dancing musical revue, and “Embarrassing Moments,” an all-talking comedy. The shorttalkies include “The Collegians,” and “Amy Johnson’s Arrival at Brisbane.” The “Hunting” number of “Words and Music” tells a delightful love story. The scene is in England in the days of 1830. A young man is given a bachelor dinner by his comrades. They call upon their guest to tell of his romance. He does so in a hauntingly sweet song, “Too Wonderful for Words.” As he tells the story the scene changes to the outside of the Bishop and Brook Inn where dogs and villagers are in the courtyards and hunters ride in; one of whom dances for the crowd, and boots and the maid also dance. The post-chaise dashes up. Ladies of fashion dismount. The bridegroom-to-be, one of the hunters, opens the door of the coach and a beautiful young lady steps out. She is looking for her uncle. The uncle fails to appear and the young hunter makes the best of his opportunity. She does not repulse his advance. And that, he tells his bachelor friends, was the beginning. Reginald Denny undergoes the experience of falling in love -with a “trial wife” he has never seen, in “Embarrassing Moments.”
