GRAND THEATRE TO-NIGHT. automobile story, “Racine learts, will be the attraction at the hi rand theatre -again to-night. This is of the best, pictures in which -Vlxss Ayres inis appeared. She plavs the part ot the ultra-modern girl "a nrm believer m advertising as a business builder. Her father’s cars, The tjranada Motors, are in a bad way. Miss Ayres by a series of clever publicity stunts, saves the firm irom oankruptcy and wins the love of tlm bv' 1 h? OUe i° f her lat,iei ' ! - s competitors b> her exploits.

The race is the fastest' ami zippiest and contains more thrills than any ever seen in motion pictures Included in the supporting programme is a Johnny Mines eome s ly, “Toreliv Gazette ‘*' ml tIU " I:,test Paramount ' OPERA HOUSE TO-NIGIIT. •’.M USC ROVE’S CELEBR ITY VAUDEVILLE.” A company is indeed strong in drawing P'»«er. when it includes (as does -Jusgrove s Celebrity Vaudeville combination) such humorists as Joe Brennaii Donald Stuart and Danny d’Alma. •icldorn has .such success attended a -vew Zealander as has followed the career o» Joe Brennan, a. Dunedinite He stands to-day as an all-round entertainer. Danny d’Alma, a Alusgrove celebrity artist, has a troupe of performing dogs, and they love their act, tor they love their master. D’Alma is a clown in this act, and he and his canines put on a turn that is a huge delight to the t and to tho clogs, too, judging hy pleased iail-waggi::g and playfid yapping. Signor Bruno Sarti, goldenvoiced tenor of famous Sistino Chapel Phoir, is possessed of a voice of bell-like clarity. Signor Sarti is ever a. favourite. It has been facetiously said of Don Stuart, the elongated magician, .k., l G he’s much longer, he won’t wait. He makes you believe that juggling is mere fakery, and while, you are laughing at his alleged exposure, ho ( h)cs , a !t a * n \ a, 'd. this time shows von that it is hard. He is a oast master in the art of legerdemain. Trla * Xewt°n is a charming scubrette and comedienne. A Wellington criticlias summed her up thus: “As charming as she is pretty, and one of the most joyous and versatile little ladies ever seen in New Zealand. Her scenes with Joe Brennan are too funny for words. Clare Solly, the duskyhaired Australian contralto, sings, smiles and makes a radiant vivid figure in her becoming gowns, for she, too, has a. sartorial sense that is wholly delightful. The Alton Sisters, who perform on the silver wire, are aerial ti apists of note. Tliei/r cleverness and grace in their wire-walking act is amazing.
