HAWERA OPERA HOUSE. “THE EAGLE AND THE HAWK.” Spectacular and tragic aspects of modem war are seen in the air picture “The Eagle and the Hawk,” which will be screened to-day and to-morrow at the Hawera Opera House. All the dramatic possibilities held by hectic life at the aerodromes in France during the last war and the exciting “dog-fights” in the air, have been exploited, but without -untruthful exaggeration. Frederic March, Cary Grant and Jackie Oakie, all actors in the front rank, give performances of great merit. March is a young pilot, Jerry Young, who brings to the dangerous life of sensitiveness. In the first two months in France five observers in his ’plane are killed in succession. His sixth observer is a man whom he hates for his callous attitude to the killing of the enemy, and he in his turn affects to despise Young for his sensitiveness. It is when the observer discovers that the pilot is breaking down under the strain that the story takes a remarkable twist.
