ENTERTAINMENTS

EVERYBODY’S. FAMILY NIGHT. “The Patsy,” the screen version of Barry Conners’ famous stage play will be finally presented to local audiences at Everybody’s Theatre, New Plymouth, to-night. Miss Marion Davis appears in the title role, and is undoubtedly the finest and funniest of her brilliant career. The picture is crammed with a wealth of human interest, comedy and romance, and has a story high above the average. An excellent cast supports Miss Davis. Also showing is the screen’s inimitable comedian, Glenn Tryon, in his latest effort, “It Can Be Done.” Pretty Sue Carol appears in the role of the heroine. “It Can Be Done” is a merry tale of a young man with a pronounced inferiority complex, who finally conquers his pet demon and emerges triumphant in a blaze of glory. There is a gazette to open. Two splendid features will be shown on to-morrow’s change of programme. “Adoration” is a First National production starring Billie Dove and Antonio Moreno. It is a wonderful love story planted deep in the heart of a Russian Revolution, and tells a stirring drama of an-adoring wife and a jealous husband who reach the heights of romance in the low dives of Paris. The secI ond feature is decidedly the most powt erful and daring film yet produced in a British studio. It is called “The Physician” and stars Miles Mander and Edna Brink. The story concerns a wealthy society man, who is a secret drinker, and is engaged to a beautiful girl. A physician, who is also in love with the girl, is called in to attend the dipsomaniac; he discovers the truth and is torn between desire for the girl and his professional honour. The supporting programme will include “Songs of Italy,” a Music Master Series. THE PEOPLE’S. FINAL SCREENING. “Sioux B-lood/ starring Tim McCoy and Marion Douglas, will be presented for the last time at the People’s Theatre, New Plymouth, this evening. “Sioux Blood” is a stirring story of the pioneer days, based on historical incident, and the adventure and drama, the romance and hot-lipped love of the ■open plains—though Red men lurk in every thicket—makes a welcome change from the usual screen fare. Robert Frazer, Sidney Bracey, Clarence Geldert and Chief Big Tree also appear in the cast. The supporting features include “Assistant Wives” (comedy), “Seeing Sights” (comedy), New Zealand scenic, Australian scenic, London scenic, International News and M.G.M. News. Tomorrow’s change of programme will, be headed by the big U.F.A. production, “When Duty Calls,” starring Rudolph Rittner, Helga Thomas and Henry Stqart. It is a thrilling story of the love and sacrifice of fire-fighters. An excellent supporting bill will also be screened.
