HAWERA OPERA HOUSE. “HIGH PRESSURE’S” LAST NIGHT., A brand new William Powell—a smooth and delightful comedian—is revealed in “High Pressure,” the Warner Bros, production which shows finally tonight at the Hawera Opera House. The story is one of slick stock promoters and their fast-stepping ladies. At the matinee to-morrow “The False Madonna” will .be shown. Packed with thrills, Universal’s eerie “Frankenstein,” shows at the Opera House to-morrow and Monday evenings, with Colin Oliver, Mae Clark, John. Boles and Boris Karloff in.the featured roles. The extraordinary story of a young scientist who brought a human monster to life through weird electrical mech; anisms and surgery is based upon the fantastic eighteenth century narrative by Mary Shelley, wife of the poet. Karloff, in his characterisation of the man monster, wears make-up weighing 48 pounds in itself. Colin Clive, of Journey’s End” fame, was brought expressly'from London to enact the scientist.
