ENTERTAINMENTS.

GRAND THEATRE —TO-NIGHT. “WILD BEAUTY.” That rare combination of a beautiful locale, a well knit plot and superb acting on the part of all members of the cast, human and animal, is the outstanding feature of “Wild Beauty,” which opened at the Opera House last evening. For this reason “Wild Beauty” is a picture which gains our unqualified endorsement. The film is unique for many reasons. Rex, the King of Wild Horses, who received the star billing on the production, is without a doubt the most amazing and paradoxical horse in history. He is a real wild horse, and was roped out of a wild herd. But now he is trained to a perfection which excels that -of horses born and trained in captivity. The programme will be finally screened at the Grand Theatre tonight. The orchestra, will be in attendance.

HAWAIIAN TROUBADOURS

OPERA HOUSE—TO-NIGHT

Coming direct from their Auckland and Wellington seasons, Kaai’s Hawaiian Troubadours will appear at the Opera House to-night. These famous entertainers, whose performance's have brought forth the greatest praise from the metropolitan Press of Australia, should form a veritable delight to the public. Blended with their excellent singing is comedy of the very highest order; in fact, it is irresistible. The now famous “Moana Jazz Four,” which is a special feature' of the show, comes to Australia and New Zealand after a series of successes in England and the Continent, and will give patrons more than a passing insight into the class of melody which has made Hawaii famous. OPERA HOUSE. COMMENCING TO-MORROW NIGHT “THE KID BROTHER” AND “THE V.OLLEGIANS.” Lovers of the great outdoors have a treat in store for them when Harold Lloyd’s next gloom chaser, “The Kid Brother,” opens at the Opera House to-morrow evening, because the greater portion of the picture was made in the open spaces of California. The Lasky Ranch in Dark Canyon, just outside Hollywood, provided a large measure of the locale in “The Kid Brother,” while the beautiful waters of Avalon Bay also provided their quota of “shots.” The story of “The Kid Brother” is set in a tiny town nestling in the mountain foothills. Lloyd gets away from the stereotyped feud yarn, which has been done to death in motion pictures, and throughout the entire picture not a gun is fired. It’s just a Imman interest comedy ripe with carefully correlated romance, drama and thrills, the type of plot in which the bespectacled comedian revels. Harold is back in the sympathetic type of characterisation which was so popular in “College Days,” “Girl Shy,” "Grandma’s Boy,” and other of his most successful pictures. The series No. 8 of “The Collegians” will support “The Kid Brother,” and the Opera House Symphony Orchestra will be in attendance. The box plan is on view at Miss Blake’s.
