CHARLES BOYER IN “CARAVAN.” Boasting settings of vivid beauty, a story centring s about the romance of a devil-may-care nomadic songmaker and a lovely young countess, a notable.cast and exquisite music, “Caravan,” the Fox Film productiori which will commence a two nights season at the Grand Theatre, Hawera, to-day at 2 p.m,, promises to reveal itself as something eminently distinguished in the field of film entertainment. Charles Boyer, idol of movie fans on the Continerit, makes his starring debut as a captivating song-maker who loves and is loved by a beautiful and capricious countess. In the latter role will be seen the dazzling Loretta Young, while the raven-haired Jean Parker appears as Tinka, the other girl. Phillips Holmes, in the role of a dashing young lieutenant, completes the foursome of principal players. Others in the cast are Eugene Pallette, C. Aubrey Smith, Charley Grapewin, Noah Beery, Dudley Digges, Richard Carle, Lionel Belmore, Billy Bevan, Armand Kaliz and Harry C. Bradley. Also showing is episode 13 of “Red Rider.” u , OPERA HOUSE, HAWERA. “CALL OF THE WILD” TO-NIGHT. “Call of the Wild,” Jack London’s immortal story, has been made into a film which will be shown at the Opera House, Hawera, to-night. The picture version of this great outdoor romance blends human nature with the melodramatic, and becomes eventually a study of the conflict between love and duty. The adaptation of the story to the screen, has been given the refreshing crispness and virility that the popular story of the turbulent passions of human nature in the snow-bound Yukon goldfields demands. Clark Gable has the leading role as Jack Thornton, the handsome swashbuckling prospector, and his performance stands out as the finest of his career. Loretta Young is Claire Blake, the sheltered young society woman, who casts her lot with Thornton and his pal, Shorty Hoolihan, when her husband is lost in the Arctic wastes, and Jack Oakie is at his best as the wise-cracking Hoolihan. KAPONGA TO-NIGHT. “PRIVATE LIFE OF HENRY VIII.” It is difficult to write a critical review of a picture like “The Private Life of Henry V111.,’ the new film at the Kaponga Theatre, without a ew set .of superlatives, for only the highest praise can be given to the brilliant direction of Alexander Korda, and there are no words to describe the magnificent acting of Charles Laughton, who definitely makes claim to the title of the greatest actor to date on screen or stage. With its delicious risque passages the film shows us the private life of Henry VIII and five of his six wives, the court intrigues, the jealousies, the beheading of Anne Boleyn, the coming of Ann of Cleves, the beautiful Katheryn Howard and, finally, Katherine Parr. s “BRIGHT SIDE UP.” MANAIA TO-NIGHT. “Bright Side Up” is a romantic comedy that brings out into the open the oft-’gossiped-about truth that you have to bluff Hollywood to win its favour. The four characters portrayed by Spencer Tracy, Sid Silvers, Herbert Mundin and “Pat” Paterson decide to break into the movies with a grand bluff of their own. They have not the patienc- to wait like Merton did in “Merton of the Movies,” but Spencer gets a 'rest idea. The resulting contract for “Pat” and jobs for Spencer and Sid involve a fascinating studio romance between “Pa+” and John Boles, some exciting complications and laughs by the score. It is a delightful romantic comedy with several good singing opportunities for John Boles and “Pa L”
