PRINCESS THEATRE, KAITAIA Double Feature Programme on Friday and Saturday On Friday (tonight) and tomorrow (Saturday night) a double star programme will be screened at the Princess Kaitaia. 1 The first feature is a virile Western “Gun Smoke” with Richard Arlen and Mary Brian in the leading roles. Diversion-seekers who have been hoping for large helpings of “nut” comedy with their movie fare, will be appeused when “Social Errors” appears as the second feature on the programme. “Social Errors” has a fast-moving, interesting plot, an absorbing sub-plot and is enfilladed with riotous fun of the button bustin’ variety. It all comes out top-side up. but it’s a merry mad whirlwind of comedy, tempered by romance while it’s going on. Richard Arlen, Mary Brian, Leon Errol and Stuart Erwin are the principal in the cast. The fourth cricket test match between England and Australia, will be among the supports screened. Harry Lauder will also return to Kaitaia singing “Roamin’ in the Gloamin’. ’’ Wednesday On Wednesday the picture to be screened will be ‘kEast of Borneo” one of the greatest pictures ever produced. The big jungle thrill drama with the actual jungle scenes filmed right on the spot in the Sumatra and Malay Peninsula. And apparently without any faking, so that we see the characters in closest proximity to baboons, pythons, crocodiles, tigers, jaguars, etc., and hear the roar and scream of jungle life in a manner that absorbs your whole attention. To see a gigantic python detach itself from a tree and glide across the bare body of a man is an experience not met with more than once in a lifetime. And the incident of the man fighting for his life in a river full of crocodiles gives you legitimate shudders. The whole picture is filmed in savage surroundings. In a highly dramatic scene the

heroine of the story shoots a rajah, and a volcano at the foot of which the village lies, chooses this exact time to belch forth enormous streams of boiling lava in an irresistible flood that carries all before it—the rajah’s wonderful palace in the jungle and everything that is not lucky enough to escape from its devastation. The hero and heroine get away in a boat. The film contains magnificent photography, the acting is first class, and the entire production is simply wonderful.
