AMUSEMENTS

Opera House Finally To-night: “ARGENTINA NIGHTS.” Next Attraction (commences To-morrow, Tuesday)’ “CASTLE ON THE HUDSON” and “BEHIND THE, NEWS.” “CASTLE ON THE HUDSON.’ A tightly-kmt story in which those ingredients of truly exciting screen entertainment —romance, action and suspense—are blended in periect proportion and seasoned to taste with humour, is the fiery emotional drama, “Castle on the Hudson,” costarring Ann Sheridan, John Garfield, and Pat O’Brien, commencing at the Opera House to-morrow (Tuesday). A turbulent love story of a young couple who risk death to be together, it is a fast-moving drama, full of suspense. Garfield portrays an egotistical young gangster, arrogant in his confidence that his luck will hold. But like most other young characters, he has a weakness. That weakness is his love for Kay the role played by Ann Sheridan." Beautiful and desirable, she is queen of the underworld, but her love is all for Garfield. Separated when he is finally apprehended, they cannot stay apart. He comes to her when she needs him most, and she, in return, murders another man to save his life. It is this point on which the plot revolves, and to tell how the situation is resolved would detract from the full dramatic impact of the picture. Pat O’Brien has his mightiest role as a prison warden. whilst others in featured roles are Burgess, Meredith, Henry O'Neil, Guinn “Big .Boy” Williams, Jerome Cowan, John Litel. and Margot Stevenson. “BEHIND THE NEWS.” Triumph of the idealistic prin- ;

ciples of true journalism against a corrupt city government abetted by a corrupt press, is the potent theme of a new and unusual newspaper story, “Behind the News,” which commences at the Opera House tomorrow (Tuesday), with an excellent cast headed by Lloyd Nolan and Doris Davenport, and Frank Albertson.
