It is always safe to expect the unusual in motion picture entertainment , from Alexander' Korda, who now follows his highly successful "Fire Over England" with a modern and spectacular picture entitled " Dark Journey," now at the Majestic Theatre. . It is a thrilling and spectacular espionage drama, the action of which takes place mainly in the neutral city of Stockholm during the World War and ends in a clash in the English Channel between British Q-boats and German Üboats, presenting one of the most thrilling and realistic scenes ever enacted on the screen. The story takes the form of an intriguing battle of wits between an attractive. French agent, Vivien Leigh, and a subtle German, Conrad Veidt, the master mind and head of a secret service planning death and destruction from a distance. The French agent is Madeleine, a French girl, who poses as a Swiss, and then operates behind the facade of a Stockholm modiste shop for her country's espionage service by parading definite pro-Ger-man sentiments. She soon makes things hot for the Germans, in whose service she has been engaged, by supplying them with misleading information. Their plans are upset and they become aware of an enemy in their camp. The head of the German Secret Service, von Marwitz, is sent secretly to investigate the cause of the misleading information which is proving costly to the Germans, but he falls in love with the girl. Tense and thrilling drama follows, with a spectacular climax In which a British Qship is seen in an engagement with a German submarine.

OPERA HOUSE " Espionage," a story with the flavour of to-day's headlines, filmed at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios with Edmund Lowe and Madge Evans in the leading roles, will be screened to-night at the Opera House. This is a narrative that describes the movements of a millionaire munitions maker, who suddenly vanishes. A star reporter is promptly assigned by an American newspaper to trace him, and an opposition sheet gives the same job to a girl reporter, a star worker herself. These two meet on a speeding express out of Paris, neither aware that the other is a competing news gatherer. The situation becomes more complicated and equally more amusing when they fall in love. In the meantime they encounter thrilling adventures and face danger together a dozen times before they eventually get their story—in collaboration. Lowe and Miss Evans are excellent. . They have the advantage, too, of a clever supporting cast, which includes Paul Lukas, Ketti Gallian, Skeets Gallagher, Frank Reicher, William Gilbert, Robert Graves and Leonid Kinsky. ANGLING Both the Kakanui and Waitaki Rivers were visited by a fair number of fishermen during the Labour Day week-end, but the weather conditions were not at all favourable. ! The Waitaki River is too clear, and not to the liking of many anglers. It is very unusual at this time of the year to see the river so clear, reports one enthusiast. One party which fished the river fairly extensively from the bridge up bagged about 11 trout, none of which was of particularly large size. There was little fishing doing at the mouth of the river, but further up there appeared to be any amount of trout. The majority of the anglers landed a few fish each.

There are hardly any reports to hand as to the bags secured at the Kakanui River. Two young anglers landed two trout, weighing 41b each, at the mouth of the river. There was a good scattering of fishermen on the river, but results were affected by the cold, windy weather. Whitebait were running freely in the Kakanui River on Saturday, and several good catches were made. However, on Monday conditions were against any sport in this direction in the vicinity of the mouth, although a quantity was taken further up the river.
