Bridge, HAWERA OPERA HOUSE. “WHY BRING THAT UP.” Such firm favourites have Moran and Mack, the Two Black Crows, become through their numerous gramophone records that the presence of the. pair .in a talking picture- is bound to, draw large crowds In “Why Bring That Up” at the Hawera Opera House on Saturday night the ttro comedians were brought into such intimate contact with their audience that their performance was more enjoyable than any gramophone record could possibly be. How • the pair first met f,nd how they became ths world’s greatest combination of. funmakers is heard and seen vividly. Their witticisms, their drollery, their weird makeup and tho inimitable humour of the two tirds makes the picture one of the best comedies yet shown. An exccptionallv fine selection of supports adds greatly to tho evening’s entertainment. Mickey tho Mouse in tho cartoon “Wild Waves’’ is the clever conception cf a remarkably good artist and his doings alone make a visit to the theatre worth while. Then there is tho comedy “Jed’s Vacation,” a variety number “Glorious Vamps,” which proves that Eve, Delilah, Cleopatra, Carmen and the modern woman all -'‘get their men” tho same old way, .AWL a.. singing item “Svhu-

bert’s Friend.” The whole makes one of the finest programmes yet staged in the Opera House. The programme will be repeated to-night and as tho box plans aro filling' rapidly intending patrons should make their reservations at Miss Blake’s early.
