ENTERTAINMENTS

OPERA HOUSE TO-NIGHT.

The two star attractions “King of the Jungle” and “Smoke Lightning” will be finally screened to-night. WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY Noel Coward is one of the geniuses of the theatre who has been represented on the screen only twice —“Private Lives” and “Cavalcade” —until the current elaborate film “Bitter Sweet” beginning at Wednesday’s matinee. “Bitter Sweet” tells the story of the love of beautiful Sari for her handsome young music master. Sari, betrothed to a celebrity, runs away at the last second with the handsome, but penniless fiddler, Carl. They elope to Vienna, where Sari sings and Carl leads the orchestra in a cafe, and where bitter mixes with the sweet when a captain refuses to be discouraged in 'his attentions to the lovely Sari. Music, also by Coward, “I’ll See You Again,” “Dear Little Cafe,” “The Call of Life,” and the Tokay drinking songs are featured. Ivy St. Helier, who .played Manon in the New York and London productions sings two French numbers. WALLSEND TO-NIGHT. “Hawleys of High Street’ will be shown to-night.
