ENTERTAINMENTS

OPERA HOUSE, TO-NIGHT. Two star features will be presented at the Opera House to-night. One of the most daring all-talking pictures so far produced, “To-night at Twelve, , Universal’s screen adaptation of the Owen Davis stage success, is one of the attractions. 1 The other star production is Hoot [Gibson in “The Mounted Stranger,” [ Universal’s thrill-packed picture of the hard-riding, hard-fighting West. Hoot provides all of the old thrills | which put him by himself in the class of Western stars—and adds plenty of new ones for good measure. MONDAY AND TUESDAY. In “Honky Tonk,” Warner Bros.’ latest production, which comes to the Opera House on Monday and Tuesday, Sophie Tucker, the perennial “red-hot mamma” of the stage, makes her screen debut. Miss Tucker is presented in the character of a singer and leader of the “floor show” in a hectic New York night club, and it is here that George Duryea, as one of a party of roystering, inebriated college boys, is persistently insulting to a fascinating entertainer. At length, unable to still his objectionable jibes, Sophie invites the youth into an anteroom, and promptly knocks him out with a well-aimed blow to the chin. She directs the head waiter to have him carried outside, dusts off her hands, and goes back to entertain again. Other players supporting Miss Tucker in this thrilling Broadway romance which deals with jazz-mad cafe life and tender mother love, are Lila Lee, Audrey Ferris, Mahlon Hamilton and John T. Murray. OLD-TIME ASSEMBLY. An old-time assembly dance will be held at Schaef’s Hall to-night. Oldtime and modern dances will be preand McDonald’s new orchestra of five instruments will dispense appropriate music. Last Thursday’s function was greatly patronised, and to-night’s event should be just os popular. CABARET DANCE. The grand Cabaret Dance at Herb. Moore’s to-night should prove a huge success. The Mawhera ladies have extended a hearty invitation to the Canterbury tennis teatm, an(| there will be a special programme of jazz and old-time dances, with Steel’s full orchestra to* meet the occasion.

MIDGET GOLF COURSE. The opening of the Midget Golf Course, situated at the corner of Tainui and Brick Streets, takes place this evening. The course is one of the best in the Dominion, and reflects great credit on local enterprise in catering for the entertainment of the general public.
