ENTERTAINMENTS.

OPERA HOUSE, TO-NIGHT. “WET PAINT. ’’ Inasmuch as some motion picture titles are a bit tricky, it might be wise to say a few wci-ds about Raymond (Griffith’s latest) Paramount comedy, “Wet Paint,’’ which is to be screened at the Opera House to-niglit. If you think it to be the story of a painter—you’re mistaken! If you believe it to be the life of an artist or his model—you are wrung again. But —if you think “Wet Paint” is a fast farce comedy with lots of pep, zip, action, thrills, beauty, laughs and riproaring fun —then you’re right! Helene Costello and Bryant Washburn are featured in support of the star. “Wet Paint” was written as an original story for Griffith by Reginald Morris, screnarised by Lloyd Corrigan, and directed by Arthur Rosscn.

GRAND THEATRE, TO-NIGHT.

FINAL SCREENING.

Who said tramps are good for nothing?? They are good fo'r a good many laughs, as pictured on the screen at the Grand Theatre to-night, where First National’s “Miss Nobody,” with Anna Q. Nilsson and a feature cast, is holding forth. “Miss Nobody” is the most unusual play to reach the screen in a long time. The programme includes episode 2 of the seriol “Fighting with Buffalo Bill. ’ ’

OPERA HOUSE,

AN HISTORIC PICTURE

EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS IN CHICAGO.

A notable event takes place at the Opera House Tuesday next when the official film of the Eucharistic Congress will be presented to the people of Hawera and district by Cardinal .Mundelein. This wonderful .record of a gathering of over a million persons was made by the Fox film co-operation and presented to the Cardinal who was the sponsor of the Congress Pageantry and ceremonial, vast crowds in gorgeously magnificent settings, worl’s figures moving With dignity through rituals, a drama of reality—such is tide picture of XXVIII International Eucharistic Congress. A great pilgrimage of the Roman Catholic Church, this epoch-making series of events transcends creed and sect and becomes a national and international symbol of all religion—a manifestation of the deepest longing and impulse of the human soul. Human, as well as magnificent, it brings to the screen an intimate touch —the sense of the purpose and devotion that permeated the hundreds and thousands of people who took part. The film is the first great effort to bring to the screen an epoch of history as it was being lived. Reservations mav be made at Miss Blake’s.
