OPERA HOUSE SATURDAY.

JOHN SIcCORMACK AGAIN.

“Song ’o My Heart,” John McCormack’s first talking and singing picture which created immense enthusiasm when first screened in New Plymouth; will play a return season of . one .night only at the Opera House to-morrow (Saturday) night. A famous editor recently wrote:- “John McCormack’s voice and art have given more real delight and inspiration to a greater number of people than any other voice of all time. He has taken happiness and peace into thousands upon thousands of homes. His life aiid work have made millions happy and for that. he deserves honour and hippiness himself.” Primarily, that added millions might hear the voice of this groat singer was the reason that Winfield Sheehan, vice president and general manager of the Fox Film Corporation, induced McCormack to accept a picture starring contract. The-clarity and the definiteness of Fox movietone makes his Requisition invaluable. . In the picture, directed by Frank Borzage and based on a story written especially for McCormack by Tom Barry, the supporting cast includes Maureen O’Sullivan, J. M. Kerrigan, Farrell Macdonald, Effie Ellsler, John Garrick and Tommy Clifford. There will be a selected supporting programme.'
