The Dove

Norma Talmadge in "The Dove,” her first United Artists picture, is to be the feature at tho Kosy theatre on Saturday. Based on Willard Mack’s stage play, which ran for a year on Broadway, "The Dove” is a melodramatic, romantic talc of Costa -Roja, tpe “red coast.” Miss Talmadge is supported by Noah Beery and Gilbert Roland. Roland West directed the picture from the scenario by Wallace Smith and Paul Bern. "The Dove” is the colourful, quickaction narrative of a virtous dance hall girl, a courageous young American employed in a gambling house, and the "bes’ damn caballero in all Costa Eoja,” Don Jose Maria y Sandoval. Against a background of guitars, stitlettocs, roulette wheels, fine ladies and grand gentlemen, the characterisation of Miss Talmadge as Dolores, "The Dove,” a beautiful dancor, comes to glowing life, according to advance reports. Directed by Roland West, who has previously made Nornia Talmadge pictures, and supported by Noah Beery and Gilbert Roland, who were accorded considerable roles by the star, Miss Talmadgo has a role of fire, tempestuous loving, defying and yielding in all its several shades. The film is said to retain all the colour which David Bel* asco put into the stage version of "The Dove,” in which Judith Anderson and Holbrook Blinn appeared. Roland West, the director,' believes the story i P even more suited .to films, and that in "The Dove” Miss Talmadgo achieves •new heights in a part as different from' her prior characterisation as that was from its predecessors.

This 12-year-olcl boy has taken the art. centres of the world by storm, and his first gramophone records, issued in New Zealand last year, were sufficient to create something like a sensation. His tour will be un-, dcr tho direction of Messrs. J. and N. Tait, but no definite dates have yet been fixed. The visit will assuredly be one of major importance in the concert season.
