AMUSEMENTS

OPERA HOUSE TO-NIGHT. •• DANGEROUS YEARS.” Spencer Tracy and Boris Kenyon are featured in “Dangerous Years,” to be screened to-night. Splendid short talkies will also bp shown. FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. •THE BAT WHISPERS”—A MYSTERY THRILLER. The thrill picture of the year is “The Bat Whispers,” Roland West’s production for United Artists, featuring that dynamic young Chester Morris The production is a succession of dramatic, mystifying situations with scarcely a pause for breath. The comedy moments are splendid. Genuine laughter is provoked by three funmakers drawn from the stage, Maude Eburne, Charles Dow Clark, and Spen-

cer Charters. Una Merkel provides the feminine romance. The identity of “The Ba«t,” and what he whispers is the key to the rapid-fire mystery drama. The audience is kept throughout the play trying to determine the secret and solve the puzzle of the arch-criminal who holds the public in terror of his deeds. West, who makes only one picture* a year, has turned out the liveliest piece of entertainment. The plot of “The Bat Whispers” is taken from a sensationally successful play by .Mary Roberts Rhinehart and Avery Hopwood, produced on the stage by Wagenhals and Kemper. The play had a record run in New York. Here's a request from the Opera House Management: After you've seen the show don’t disclose the secret to your friends or you’ll spoil the real kick for them. You had to guess. Let them do the same. BLACKBALL TO-NIGHT. “Dangerous Years” will be screened to-night. RUNANGA TO-NIGHT. “Speak Easily’’ is the feature for to-night.
