ENTERTAINMENTS

EVERYBODY’S: ALL BRITISH. “THEIR NIGHT OUT. One of' the merriest and most entertaining screen comedies yet released by British International Pictures is “Their Night Out,” which will open a season at Everybody’s Theatre, New Plymouth, to-day at 2 and 7.45 p.m. “Their Night Dut” is one of those films that start off with a general mix-up and get more and more complicated until one wonders how on earth matters can possibly be straightened out—especially where the hero’s mother-in-law is concerned. The mother-in-law in the film is taken by the well-known Amy Veness, a veritable Gorgon. The idiotic Claude Hulbert, brother of the popular Jack, is the hero, and he is supported by Renne Houston, who, as a narrow-minded buyer from Aberdeen, gets very drunk at a night club, likes the experience, and suddenly blossoms out as a snappy cabaret entertainer, and proves to be one of the British screen’s most accomplished comediennes. How Claude, Hulbert, as the unfortunate young husband, emerges triumphant from his difficulties, assisted by Renee Houston as Maggie, Binnie Barnes as the alluring vamp, and Judy Kelly as his trusting ..ife, provides an hour and a half of supremely funny entertainment. The shorts will include Cinesound News, “Symphony of the Sea” (featurette), New Zealand Sound Scenes and Pathetone Weekly Varieties. REGENT THEATRE TO-DAY. “ARIZONA TO BROADWAY." "Arizona to Broadway,” the new Fox comedy with James Dunn, Joan Bennett, Herbert Mundin and Sammy Cohen in the featured roles, will commence a season at The Regent, New Plymouth, today at 2 and 7.45 p.m. It is a picture tailored to your order from a pattern of laughs. It has light, sparkling, zestful, fast-moving fun with a .speed marked by gales of laughter. It is guaranteed to whip up a breezy mirth, to fan away your blues and cares. There’s romance, too—the kind that has made the name of I James Dunn a household word on the feminine si J 'of the house. You’ll get a real kick out of him as a confidence man who never gives a sucker—or a girl—an even break, and then finds himself caught in his own trap of love! Herbert Mundin is as funny—as he’s never been funny before. The shorts will include Universal News, “Outposts of France” (travelogue), Fox News, “Tale of a Shirt” (cartoon) and Gaumont Graphic. The penultimate chapter of "Heroes of the West” will be screened at the matinee only. NEW PLYMOUTH OPERA HOUSE. “STRANGE INTERLUDE.” Heralded as the most extraordinary motion picture ever to reach the talking screen, “Strange Interlude,” Metro-Gold-wyn-Mayer’s film of the Eugene O’Neill drama which ran on Broadway for a year and a half and won the Pulitzer prize award for the finest play of the season of 1928-29, will open a two-night season at the Opera House to-day. The principal roles are played by Norma Shearer and Clark Gable, who are together again for the first time since their successful joint appearance in “A Free » Soul.” Miss Shearer enacts the role of while Gabli has the part pi

the young doctor. The story revolves aboiit the daughter of a college professor who finds herself on the verge of a nervous breakdown as a result of having denied herself to her lover, who is subsequently killed in the World War. Miss Shearer and Gable are supported by two of the best known actors on the New York stage, Alexander Kirkland and Ralph Morgan, the latter repeating the role he played in the original stage production of “Strange Interlude.” The exceptionally strong cast also includes Robert Young, May Robson, Maureen O’Sullivan, Henry B. Walthall, Mary Alden and Tad Alexander, the latter being the boy who gave a remarkable performance in “Rasputin and the Empress.” “PETER PAN AND WENDY.” MISS ELWYN RILEY’S DISPLAY. At the New Plymouth Opera House on Tuesday night patrons will be taken back to childhood days, to memories treasured by one and all. The babies will delight with their ipnocent, baby

ways, while the older children will forget for a while that they ; are mortals and take you to the happy untroubled realms of fairy land. Miss Elwyn Riley’s dance recitals have grown with the years and are now looked forward to with more interest than ever. The production is so big this year that patrons will wonder how it was possible to produce such a performance locally. The scenery wifi amaze you,' the'frocking will delight you, and so will the talented performers. The box plan is open at Collier’s, also day sales.
