ENTERTAINMENTS

Opera House “Lady Hamilton,” starring Vivian Leigh and Lawrence Olivier. Described by critics as one of the most stirring motion pictures on record, “Lady Hamilton” showing at the Opera House tonight with Vivien Leigh and Lawrence Olivier in leading roles, is an unforgettable love story that rocked the world, the romance of Lady Hamilton and Lord Nelson. As portrayed these two exciting characters come to life and reach new heights in dramatic interpretation. Miss Leigh is, of course, superb as that exciting beauty of her day, Emma Hamilton, who was painted forty times by the great painter, Romney Olivier is seen in the role of the hero of Trafalgar, the man who staked his reputation for the lovely and fascinating Emma. To capture the era of opulence in which these vivid characters moved. The picture concentrates on a love story that has few parallels for exciting and colourful incident, for pulse-tingling drama and emotion, and for thrilling suspense. Regent Theatre “The Calendar,” starring John McCallum, Greta Gynt. Audiences will be able to follow, at lose quarters, the yard by yard progress of a real horserace in “The Calendar.” Adapted from the famous Edgar Wallace novel, “The Calendar,” costars Greta Gynt and John ‘McCallum, with Raymond Lovell and the lovely young starlet, Sonia Holm, and features many racing sequences filmed at Hurst Park and the Royal course at Ascot. Here is a thrill-packed story of the race track.
