OPERA HOUSE TALKIES. “WHY BRING THAT UP?” “Why Bring That Up?”, the Two Black Crows’ first Paramount all-talking picture, will show at the Hawera Opera House Talkies for two nights and one matinee, commencing to-day at 2 p.m. Thousands of gramophone enthusiasts, who know the'Black Crows already by their records, will be given the chance to see and hear them for the first time. The Two Black Crows, Moran and Mack, spent several years in studying many distinct types of American negroes, before developing the characters they present in their famous comedy dialogue. Both comedians were born i?i the State ; of Kansas, which borders on the Southern States, and had ample opportunity to study the negroes during their youth. Mack says'that the contact with the happy, carefree blacks greatly influenced their comedy. The characters they present are not typical of any particular i type, but are really a combination of many types. The box plans are at Miss Blake’s shop, where early reservations may he made. 1 U
