SHEER DRAMA AT OPERA HOUSE.

INTERFERENCE FINAL TO-NIGHT.

"Interference,” Paramount all-talking picture, which will be shown for the last time in Hawera at the Opera House tonight, -was adapted from the London and New York • stage success. As a talkie it will be remembered for years to come. It has been called a “melodrama of the upper world.” It concerns the story of a polished reprobate, living on the brink of death, who kills a woman who loves him- and gives his own life to save the reputation of the woman he himself loves. For sheer drama the screen has not had the equal of “Interference” this season. Paramount could not have possibly chosen a better cast to portray this unusual story. William Powell is the despoiler, the central character whose return from the dead kills one woman and almost wrecks the happiness of another; yet this is a sympathetic role. Evelyn Brent is Powell’s, former sweetheart, whose love for him costs her her life; a cruel and calculating woman of the world, whose love, for Powell is deep and constant. Clive Brook is.. the famous and respected surgeon, husband ’of Doris Kenyon. Brook finds himself almost hopelessly involved.by the ghost of his wife’s former love. Miss Kenyon also is the wife of Powell, for whose caress he cared too late. The supporting programme includes: Bathe News, cartoon, “Old Black Joe,” comedy, "His College Chums,” and singing act, "Raising the Roof.” The box plans are at Miss Blake’s.
