ENTERTAINMENTS

EVERYBODY’S TALKIES. FAMILY NIGHT TO-NIGHT. “The Golden Calf,” finally showing at Everybody’s, New Plymouth, to-night, has everything—youth, beauty, romance, comedy, scintillating tunes, dazzling dances and spectacular specialties, all woven together with a highly entertaining story that grips you from start to finish. El Brendel and Marjorie White (the famous comedy duo of “Sunny Side Up”), and Sue Carol and Jack Mulhall are the stars of the Fox Movietone treat. There is also a real good supporting programme. Bebe Daniels, tile glamorous goldenvoiced heroine of “Rio Rita,” makes her second appearance on the audible screen in ‘Love Corhes Along,” Radio Pictures’ all-talking drama, which opens at Everybody’s Theatre to morrow night. It is the new Bebe Daniels who is to be . seen —the star who has deserted the Reid of light comedy for ever and who has taken her place among the greatest of dramatic actresses. ‘ “Rio Rita” established’ Bebe Daniels as a new personality, giving her the opportunity of revealing startling all-round dramatic ability. Furthermore, it disclosed her as an accomplished'vocal star, capable of‘singing a score worthy of a featured operatic soprano. “Love Comes Along” gives Bebe an even greater chance to display her talents than the' preceding picture. The main supporting.roles will be played by Lloyd Hughes, Montague Love and Ned Sparks.

THE REGENT. . FINAL SCREENING. “The Cohens and Kellys in Scotland,” Universal all-talking laughter special, will be finally presented at The Regent, New Plymouth, to-night. Charlie Murray, George Sidney, Kate Price and Vera Gordon are tho featured players in this great laugh provider. A good supporting programme is presented in conjunction with this picture.' Commencing at Tho Regent to-morrow night Edward Everett Horton, tile noted comedian, will be seen and heard in an all-talking motion picture in which he is the operator of wildly careening aeroplanes, engaged in performing stunts of the most hair-raising description. Horton plays the role of a prosaic author,, who, having consented to the use of his name on a book dealing with aerial exploits during the war, finds himself forced to make good. Never having been in an aeroplane in his life, he is forced to qualify as a reckless flyer to win the hand and heart of the girl he loves. The result is an uproarious comedy which incidentally brings. to the screen the most spine-tingling and laugh-jerk-ing exhibitions of aerial acrobatics ever shown in motion pictures. Horton is supported in “The Aviator” by a cast which includes Patsy Ruth Millet, Johnny Arthur, Lee Moran, Edward Martindel, Kewpie Morgan, Armand Kaliz, Phillips Smalley and William Norton Bailey. “The Aviator” is based on the play* by James Montgomery. Robert Lord and Arthur Caesar did the screen adaptation. Roy del Ruth directed.

JAN KUBELIK’S VISIT.

ONLY RECITAL TO-NIGHT. Perfection of technique, austere artistry, and well-selected programmes swept the Australian admirers of Jan Kubelik, violinist, off their feet during his recent tour of the Commonwealth. Crowded audiences in all centres acknowledged that before them stood a virtuoso, whose modesty was one of the most delightful qualities of a charming personality. On many occasions the “house full” sign offered proof that Australians know art when they hear or see it. Kubelik’s progress has been in the nature of a triumph. With a prodigious repertoire at his masterly command he has coaxed hdiden beauties from glorious- masterpieces. It was fitting that Paganini’s Campanella should be played by one who has been described as the greatest living violinist since Paganini. He chose Bach, Wieniawski, Saint-Saens, Tehaikowsky, Fibich, for the inspiration, of his audiences and carried them with|him in memorable nights of utter enjoyment. Kubelik comes to New Plymouth to-night under the dir-

ection of Messrs J. and N. Tait, personally supervised by Mr. Claude Kingston. Mr. Otta Hasa is accompanist. The plan is at H. Collier’s, also the os day sales. DANCE RECITAL SUCCESS. e£wYN RILEY AND PUPILS. The performance given at the New Plymouth Opera House last Tuesday by Elwyn Riley and her pupils was one ot the brightest she has yet produced. After serious consideration and at the request of many who failed to gain admission Miss Riley has decided to give a repeat performance on Thursday night. There is no disappointment in any part of the programme and those wishing to see this year’s dance display are advised to book. Box plan and day sales are now open at Collier’s. INGLEWOOD TALKIES, “INNOCENTS OF PARIS.” •Maurice Chevalier, a new actor to the stage, yet one who has risen to be the idol of France, plays the leading role in “Innocents of Paris.” The story deals with a romance in the French capital. Chevalier, a second-hand dealer, rescues a little boy from drowning and in delivering a letter left by the boy’s mother meets Louise and falls in love. Despite her father’s protests Louise returns his love and so the story follows their romance to his success in the theatre. Here his choice between 1 love for Louise and his career brings this thrilling picture to a surprising climax. This picture will be shown at the Inglewood Town Hall to-morrow.,
