FAZIL AT OPERA HOUSE TO-NIGHT
East is East, but the twain does meet in “Fazil,” Fox Films’ feature production which opens at the Hawera Opera House to-night. But Kipling, must have been right in the first place, for they do not mix at all. Fazil is the name of an Arabian prince, impersonated by Charles Farrell. Greta Nissen plays the French girl who represents the West. Farrell excels his characterisations in ‘‘7 th Heaven” and “Street Angel,” as the handsome, arrogant Fazil. Miss Nissen is ravishing and wears any number of dazzling gowns. The story is about a young sheik who rules his tribe with an iron hand and on a diplomatic trip to Paris falls in love with and marries a Parisienne. They clash, however, for she will not be ruled by. the customs and traditions of his people. This leads to many intensely dramatic scenes, the climax coming when, her friends come to the prince’s palace to help her escape. The ending is as unexpected as it is thrilling.
