ENTERTAINMENTS.

OPERA HOUSE, TO-NIGHT. HARRY LANGDON, “THE STRONG AIAJN.” Laughter week - continues its merry way at the Opera House to-niglit. On the heels of the Harold Lloyci success in “College Days” come s Harry Lungdon tumbling along in a burlesque not of whimsical and ludicrous comedy, ••The Strong Alan.” The story is delightfully simple, and yet it is crowded with those burlesque situations which in Langdon's comedies are always surefire provokers ol glee. The fun reaches the extreme heigat of nonsense in the climax when Harry endeavours to play his partner's act, that of a genuine “strong man,” before a hostile audience Supporting Langdon in this particularly speedy farce are the popular stars, Priscilla. Jtanner, Gertrude Astor, and William V. Along, and the introductory films are a new Empire News and a comedy, “Who Hit Ale."’

A FAATOUS EVENT. TO BE FILMED IN HAVER A. _ E UCH ARISTIC CON CRESS. The Eucharistic Congress of C hicago, the film of which will be shown on the screen at the Opera House, Hawera, on Tuesday, April 12, appears to have made a deep impression upon the newspapers of the world. It is claimed that since the Armistice of the great World War no single event has received more widespread notice in the columns of tho daily press of the U.S.A. than the Congress. One enterprising news agency in Chicago has assembled 60,000 newspaper comments in the States, while others in Europe have gathered many thousands, on this great religious manifestation.
