were appointed a sub-committee to finalise arrangements for the competitions. OPERA HOUSE TO-DAY 2 P.M. “THE VAGABOND KING.” It is only- natural when a stage play -is transposed to the screen, especially since that screen talks, that comparisons should bo drawn. It is harjl to find words adequate to cover the broad sweep and majesty of “The Vagabond King.” It is bewilderingly wonderful. In natural colours throughout, by technicolour, the powerful plot is enhanced by swift action and romance that beggar description. Whilst the stage play was limited to three acts, forcing the action between three walls, the screen uses no less than 55 sets, and the plot is given movement. In addition, there is the advantage that the screen presents the greatest actors in the roles. The golden voice of Dennis King is preserved to the million, instead of being heard by the favoured few, so to speak, of New York. These are some of the advantages that the talking screen has over the stage production, great and spectacular though it was. The Paramount all-talking, allcolour production of “The Vagabond King” is the wonderful attraction that will be screened at the Opera House talkies, Hawera, for a season of three nights and three matinees, commencing to-day at 2 p.m. It will Im a lasting memory as far as screen fare is concerned. The box plans are rapidly filling at Miss Blake’s. MANAIA LADIES’ GOLF. 9 The Manaia Ladies’ Golf Club’s draw for the L.G.U. medal round to be played on Friday is; Mrs, A.>H. Christie v. Mrs. C.
