ENTERTAINMENTS.

OPERA-HOUSE. 1 NOW SHOWING. “NOW WE’RE IN THE AIR.” “Now We’re in the Air,” screening at the Opei-a House for the last time, abounds in laughs and thrills. Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton as a couple of amateur airmen loose in the war zone are . excruciatingly funny, and when they manage to fall in love with girls of identical appearance, who nevertheless are respectively pro-French and pro-German in their sympathies, a delightful tangle ensues. Exciting adventures in enemy territory see Ray and Wally suddenly hailed as .heroes, decked out in German uniforms, and smothered with medals. This worries them little, but when they are singled out for espionage work and later arrested by the French as spies, affairs take a turn that is somewhat less to their liking. A nose-dive deposits them in No Man’s Land just as tlie Armistice, is declared, and when their two brides, Grisette and Griselle, meet face to face the mystery is cleared up and all ends happily. There will be. a complete change of programme to-morrow (Saturday), the feature attraction being the Fox comedy special ‘‘Silk Legs,” starring Madge Bellamy.

GRAND THEATRE—TO-NIGHT. “LOVELORN.” The peculiar appeal of “The Lovelorn,”. the new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture, which one ns a two-niglit season at the Grand Theatre to-night, is that it is so true to life that every girl or man can live his own story — so romantic that it recalls to every woman her first love affair —so thrilling that it will grip the imagination of “all who see it. It is crammed with humour and packed with heart throbs. Sally O’Neil and her sister in real life,' Mollv O’Day, play the leading roles, and the supporting cast is an exception ally talented one. including such favourites as Larry Kent.. James Murray, Charles Delaney, Dorothy Gumming. the Australian actress, George Cooper and Allan Forrest. There will he a full supporting programme, which will include M.G.M. News, serial “The Trail of the Tiger.” and the two-reel comedy “All for Nothing.”
