Sneak Thief at Auroa. ) A sneak thief has been in evidence again, this time drawing off oil from cars in their garages.

Inaha for Wellington. In port: m.v. Kapuni and m.v. Hawera. March 28: In port: m.v. Kapuni and Hawera. HAWERA OPERA HOUSE. DOUBLE STAR PROGRAMME AGAIN. The double feature British programme, “Lord Babs” and “Whiteface,” will be shown finally to-night at the Hawera Opera House. “Gawd blime, Charlie, what is it?” asks Gordon Harker in a comical moment, relieving the dramatic intensity of the Edgar Wallace thriller, “Whiteface.” This quaint cockney ejaculation questions what is the deepest mystery ever to intrigue a motion picture audience. Possessing a mystery theme such as only Wallace was capable of devising, “Whiteface” possesses a thrill in every foot of film, right up to the grand finale, when the mystery is revealed, bringing the series of crimes homes to the guilty one, and the one who is the least suspected. A strong cast fill the many important roles, and Norman McKinnel, who has starred with much success in many recent British trillers, occupies the stellar role, while he is ably supported by Gordon Harker and Renee Gadd.
