TO-NIGHT—SCOTTISH CAKXTVAT. DANCE. To-night is the Scottish Carnival Night at the Town Hall. The well-known Hawera Scottish Concert Party is coining down to give a programme of songs, elocution, violin playing, and comedy. Mr. 11. W. Haddow will dance the “Sean Truibhais” and Betty Crompton and Joyce Fiulayson will dance the “Fling.” The picture is “Bonnie Prince Charlie,” starring Ivor Novello and Gladys Cooper, and was (limed in the actual places of historical inti rest in the tragic life of Bonnie Prince Charlie in Scotland. We see Culloden field itself and the magnificent Highlands. Dancing will com tinue till 1.30, as the programme will not commence till 8.30, to give people who have been to the school picnic time to be there at the beginning of the programme. ' THURSDAY AND FRIDAY—“OUR DANCING DAUGHTERS.” What is wrung with the present generation/ “Our Dancing Daughters,” to be shown at the Town Hull next Thursday and Friday, shows two sides to this very modern question, And the answers supplied in tills Metro-Gold-wyn-Mayer feature show that if, indeeil. youth is to be criticised, the parents themselves are in no position to voice the censure. The theme in this modernistic production is based upon environment. Children, the plot shows, usually reflect the circumstances of their home life. Three very modern young women provide the motivation ' for the swiftly-moving,. Film Miarrativo, ami in these roles Joan Crawford, Dorothy Sebastian, ami Anita Page bring to the screen .splendid characterisations of three types of flapperhood. Johnny Mack Brown is the young man whose affections and millions occupy the attentions of Miss Crawford and Miss Page in the filmisation of the ultra-modern story, and Nils Asthor. as Miss Sebastian's husband, gives a striking portrayal as the husband who tries to forget his wife’s past indiscretions but jean not erase suspicions from his mind. The production has been filmed upon a lavish scale in keeping with its modernistic motif, and is one of the greatest movies we have ever seen.
