ENTERTAINMENTS

OPERA HOUSE. “STAMJBOUL.” Dmitri Buchowetzki directed the Paramount British Production, “Stamboul,” which shows at the Hawera Opera House finally to-night, at Elstree Studios. This director has made many 'pictures, and has the distinction of never having produced a failure. “Stamboul” will undoubtedly carry on this tradition and is one of the finest attractions to come out of a British studio. Warwick Ward takes the leading male part in “Stamboul.’’ This noted English star is supported by a cast of London stage celebrities Seats may be reserved at the Opera House confectionary. “RICH ALAN’S FOLLY.” George Bancroft lias created many interesting roles since he first came to fame in “Underworld,” but his newest starring Paramount drama, “Rich Man’s Folly” affords him a truly outstanding characterisation. Cast as a millionaire shipbuilder whose creed is 'power, Bancroft interprets a man whose unconquerable ambition is understandable, whose inevitable failure wins sympathy. It is a characterisation which reaches the height ol dramatic power when he discovers that love can conquer the most powerful of ambitions. Others in the cast are Frances Dee, Robert Ames David Durand, Robert Emery and Juliette Compton. “Rich Man’s Folly” shows at the Opera House matinee to-morrow and continues for two nights.
