AMUSEMENTS

Majestic.—Today’s programme is headed by “The Guilty." a strange fascinating story of two sisters, one an angel, the other guilty of a fearsome wrong. The leading players are Bonita Granville and Don Castle. The associate feature is "Roaring Ranger," starring Charles Starrett and Smiley Burnette. The Manhunt of Mystery Island” opens each aession.

King’s.—A grim story of jealousy passion, set on one of the small, remote islands in the Western Isles of Scotland, is unfolded in "The Brothers," which commences today. This Sydney Box production, with an exceptionally strong team of British pla/ora, transcends the conventional screen dramas of the present day. The late Will R.vffe and Patricia Roc are probably the only stars well known to New Zealand theatregoers, but each member of the cast much to an outstanding entertainment.

Regent..—An outstanding play has been transformed into an outstanding motion picture. "All My Sons.” the powerful, inspiring play chosen for top honours by the New York drama critics, is now showing at the Regent Theatre. Starring Edward G. Robinson and Burt Lancaster the Universal-Inter-national presentation portrays with simplicity the post-war story of how money proved stronger than patriotism to one man with the result that a number of airmen lost their lives, including his own son, his partner went to prison and later his own life was forfeited.

"Duet For Two Hands’* is produced for the Little Theatre by John Kitchen. An unusual play, it is the society’s final presentation for 1948 and as such, every effort has been made to select a play which will worthily follow ‘‘Arsenic and Old Lace," "Tons of Money” and other successful productions by this society. It will be presented at the Opera House next Monday and Tuesday, The box plan is at Tattersall and Bayly's.
