TALKIE ATTRACTIONS

OPERA HOUSE. “HEEL BELOW.” Thrills of naval battles under the surface of the sea, and an intimate panorama of the sailors of the submarine fleet form a background for romance; in “Hell Below,” which, with Robert Montgomery, Walter Huston, Madge Evans, Jimmy Durante, Eugene Pallette, Kouert Young and a large supporting cast, shows at the Hawera Opera House finally to-night. The spectacular production, filmed with actual submarines, gives another of those spectacles .such a “HelPis Divers” ,e!t It to the Marines.” There are thrills below the surface in depth bomb attacks, torpedo action and action near the ocean’s bottom. There is tense drama in the hold of a submersible. Submarines battle aeroplanes, and a whole fort is blown up m a ■ markable episode in which a. harbour lull of enemy destroyers is bottled up. Against this crescendo accompaniment is the love story of a lieutenant who falls in love with the daughter of his commander. Montgomery does the finest work of his film career as Lieutenant Knowlton, who in the end sacrifices his love for his duty. Huston, who only recently created a memorable role in “Gabriel Over the White House,’’ again contributes a performance of distinction to the talkies as the stern commander of the submarine. Madge Evans was an excellent choice for the feminine lead, and the riotous Jimmy Durante has another of his inimitable laugh roles as the ..flip’s cook who is drawn into a boxing match with a kangaroo. The cast a Iso includes Eugene Pallette, Robert Young, Edwin Styles, John Lee Wahin David Newell, Sterling Hollowav and Charles Irwin. Seats may he reserved at Miss Blake’s.
