ENTERTAINMENTS

OPERA HOUSE—TO-NIGHT. May Rbbson, that grand old actress, gives a fine performance in a most entertaining picture, “Lady for a Day,” to be finally shown to-night. A splendid array of featurettes will also be shown. FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. The wealth of detail that a historical motion picture demands to insure its authenticity is revealed in “Operator 13” starring Marion Davies and Gary Cooper, to be shown Friday and Saturday. The production is based upon a thrilling spy story, the last best-seller novel by Robert W. Chambers, before his death. It centres around earlier years of the American Civil War when the South was apparently winning and the Confederate forces dangerously threatening Washington, when the spies, both Union I and Confederate, provided many of; the dramatic incidents. Featurettes include Metrotone News, "Goofy” Movies and Hal Roach musical comedy, "Rhapsody in Brew.’’ COMING. I Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert i are starred in “It Happened One, Night,” which comes to the Opera House next week.’ | At Blackball “Flying Down to Rio”i will bo shown to-night, and at Run-' anga to-night, "Love, Life and Laughter” will be shown. , REGENT THEATRE. With Janet Gaynor and Charles' Farrell re-united for the first Jlme in eighteen months, “Change of Heart” has proved exceptionally interesting at the Regent Theatre, and will he screened to-night and to-morrow night. Last night’s audience was delighted. Book early and save disappointment. James Dunn and Ginger Rogers are teamed in support of the stars in the screen version of Kathleen Norris’ “Manhatten Love Song,” The picture deals with the tangled love affairs of four young, college graduates in search of fame and fortune, only to find romance complicating the problem of earning their respective livelihoods.

ROYAL JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS

Monday, May G, the da}’ set aside throughout the British Empire for the celebrations of Their Majesties’ Silver Jubilee, promises to be a red-letter day for Greymouth and the whole of the West Coast. Recently the Prime Minister expressed the wish the sport, ing bodies throughout the country would organise suitable sports gather, ings to celebrate the occasion and following that suggestion a meeting was held yesterday afternoon to discuss preliminary arrangements, when a scheme for a mammoth Mardi Gras and combined picnic-sports gathering at Rugby Park was outlined. A strong sub-committee was set up to consider details of the proposed scheme and report fully to a general meeting to be held at a later date.

A feature of the proposed programme will be a monster procession of trade, fancy and novelty exhibits leaving the Town Hall for the Park immediately after the arrival of special trains conveying school children and residents from neighbouring towns and

the country districts. School children from the whole of the Coast will be invited to join in these memorable celebrations and no effort will be spared to make them a lasting impression on the children's minds. Hot water will be provided free to enable visitors to picnic on the grounds and no stone will be left unturned to provide such a programme of variety entertainment as is worthy of the rare and worthy occasion being celebrated.
