ENTERTAINMENTS.

OPERA HOUSE, TO-NIGHT.

‘ALTARS OF DESIRE.’-’-When Mae Murray and. Conway Tea,r e appear together there you have the perfect combination. One piquant and adorably and beautiful—the other virile and manly and fascinating. This :« the Tearle you have known and admired for many years-—a. handsome man’s main, in an out-door role that will thrill you properly. Andre Deranger, a delightfully comic 'romantic star, is another source of entertainment in the picture. Here’s a brief glance at the story.. A beautiful girl is sent to- Paris to acquire social ‘‘sophistication”—and does. Paris makes her want pretty things and jewels and freedom. But could she get these without thj3 heart-breaks and unhappiness that life mingles with its pleasures? That’s for you to see —and 1 be thrilled to the core by seeing—in “Altars of Desire,” which opens at the Opera House to-night. The supporting programme includes a comedy, cartoon, N.Z. Scenic, and Pathe News. OPERA HOUSE. MATINEE TO-MORROW. TOM MIX. “Tumbling River,” istarring Tom Mix, will be presented at the Opera House to-morrow afternoon (Saturday). It is a story of the west, the desert, the fastnesses of the mountains interwoven with a finely drawn plot of cattle rustlers, who find they have (stolen once too often when they rustle one of Tom Greers’ (Tom Mix) best horses, Buster, a beautiful bay. The serial “The Return of the Riddle Rider,” will also he shown at The matinee. OPERA HOUSE. FULLERS’ REVUE COMPANY. Having already seen the Gayle Wyer Bandbox Revue and Musical Comedy Company in action at the Opera House, and the excellent calibre of the artists duly acknowledged, there will probably be a large attendance of theatre patrons at the return visit in the theatre mentioned next Monday. There will be a complete change of programme. “Married Life,’’ which will be staged as the main is one of those farce comedies so much in favour today. The piece concerns the dilemma of a married woman who finds it difficult to explain away the appearance of a friend whose existence has not previously been suspected. During the period of disentanglement many humorous situations occur and much mirth is prevalent before matters finally adjust themselves. Mr Gayle Wyer, Mr Charles Norman and Mr Sam Ward are each seen in congenial parts, and room is found for Mr Norman to give further examples of his great skill as an eccentric dancer. A complete change of scenery and costumes will be made from those seen during the recent season.
