Two of the most beautiful of screen stars are in the new Sterling film production, “Her First Affair,” which is the attraction at the Hawera Opera House to-night and to-morrow. Both are polished stars and demonstrate excellent acting abilities in the far from easy roles they are called upon to portray. However, all the attraction of the film is not centred alone in these two stars. r An excellent story has been utilised, and in it there has been made room for delightful comedy and scintillating “settings.” ADVERTISERS’ ANNOUNCEMENTS. A euchre and dance party in aid of the orchestra fund for the Ratana church will be held in the Okaiawa hall on Thursday next. Particulars are advertised. The last assembly of the season will be held in the Foresters’ Hall, Hawera, on Friday, September 8.
