OPERA HOUSE TO-NIGHT

STEWART AND LORRAINE

Cmniucin-iiig to-night (Friday), Stewart and Lorraine, direct from the Grand Opera House and Tivoli Theatre, Sydney, will commence a two-night season in conjunction with a splendid picture programme. They have just concluded a six-night season at Evervbody’s, New Plymouth, and the Daily News says: “An outstanding feature of last, night’s entertainment at Everybody’s was the musical act supplied' by Stewart and Lorraine, a pair of high-class musicians and versatile artists, who also entertain with much bright patter in between their musical items. The artists opened with a ragtime banjo duet, and followed with the classical ‘Humoresque.’ demonstrating the complete mastery of the banjo Their series of Scotch and Irish melodies on ‘The 20th Century Violin’ attracted much notice at last night’s performance, the tone of these instruments being particularly beautiful.

The musical effects introduced on the chimes drew rounds of applause from last night’s audience, and the artists were recalled again and again.” The picture attraction, which is thoroughly human and natural and which is largely laughs with just enough tug at the heart, plenty of suspense in the story, a breath of outdoors and a dash of “pep,” with a troupe of beautiful diving girls. It is a combination hard to beat.” This is all presented in First National's big comedy drama entitled .“A Self-Made Failure.” a picture which merits the label of first-class entertainment. There is one purpose in this picture —to entertain. It has no problems for solution, no mysteries to solve, nothing to worry about except where you will see so funny a picture . -i<rain. The management believes that you will agree after seeing this picture that you have never seen a faster moving picture and one that maintains the fun from the very start to the final fade out. The box plan is open and patrons'can book without extra charge.
