Opera House Finally to-night: “You'll Never Get • Rich.” Next attraction commences to-morrow (Friday): “Desperadoes” (in technicolour) and “All By Myself.” “DESPERADOES” One of the most magnificient dramas of the old West ever to thunder across the screen, Columbia’s “The Desperadoes” commences at the Onera House to-morrow (Friday), with Randolph Scott, Glenn Ford, Clair Trevor, 1 Evelyn Keyes and Edgar Buchanan. Told in breath-taking technicolour the new film is said by Hollywood to be an enic drama of brawling men and tinselled women, of lawless wickedness and matchless heroism. Rich with' all the colour '' and tumultuousness of the boundless ’'la’nr. “The Desperadoes” tells of a killer’s fight for law and order,, in a town which was not sure it wanted either. “The Desperadoes” has been praised from coast to coast not alone for the stampeding swiftness of its blood-tingling story, but also for its vivid direction and breathless characterisations. Special acclaim has been accorded its glowing, splendour-splashed back grounds, brought, to pulsating life through adept use of the technicolour cameras. “ALL BY MYSELF.” • A merrv martial mix-up is cleverly enacted bv an extremely canable group of movie players in “AU Bv Myself” commencing at the Opera House (to-morrow Friday) The racy new production which has a most entertaining musical score, co-stars Rosemary Lane, Patrie Knowles and Evelyn Ankers. Appearing prominently in the popular cast are N°n Hamilton, Grant Mitchell and Louise Beavers. Tuneful specialties are contributed by the Loumell Morgan Trio and Tip. Tap | and Toe. A multiple marriage i complication provides the basis for ’■ an ingenious plot. Knowles has the I role of a society doctor who becomes | involved in a nuptial masquerade with a femine client, a smart ad- | vertising woman. Miss Lane appears as a torch singei’ romantically inclined toward Neil Hamilton who is seen as Miss Ankers’ boss.

Regent Theatre Finally To-night: “Sons of the Sea.” Commencing Friday: “Underground,” starring Jeffrey Lynn. i Drama that a few years ago would have been called fantastic has been taken from the newspaper headlines to make Warner Bros, “Underground” commencing at the Regent Theatre on Friday one of the most exciting as well as compelling films to have come from Hollywood. The film which is all 'the more compelling because it is taken from real life tells of brother pitted against brother, neighbour against neighbour, and the strange kinds of love that are born in lands where people are afraid to think and talk. It is the story of courageous and fearless young men and women who daily risk their lives to operate .the forbidden short wave radio that is the most potent weapon of the underground movement working to overthrow the stranglehold of the dictators. Jeffrey Lynn portrays an enthusiastic young Nazi soldier who is unaware that his brother, played by Philip Dorn, is a leader of the underground movement. Kaaren Verne and Mona Maris play important roles in the film.
