“MY SONG FOR YOU.” OPERA HOUSE ATTRACTION. “My Song For You,” featuring Jan Kiepura, is a worthy successor to “Tell Me To-night,” and it has drawn good houses at the Hawera Opera House, where its season will conclude to-night. Sonnie Hale, who appeared in “Tell Me To-night,” is as funny in the new picture as he was in the old, and he is therefore very funny indeed. Kiepura takes the part of an operatic star, who is involved in some compromising situations. He sings most attractively and the picture is undoubtedly one of the finest musical films for some time.

To-morrow, “Forsaking All Others,” a brilliantly witty comedy featuring Clark Gable, Joan Crawford and Robert Montgomery, will be presented for a threeday season.
