ENTERTAINMENTS.
TEMUKA PICTURES. William Haines in a serious role, is a far different William Haines from the usually debonair youngster who “kids,” uses slang and disports himself in festive attitudes. He will be seen in “A Man’s Man,"' a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayor picture to be screened at Temuka to-night. It is a charming little satire, rich in human interest and with a beautiful little love story. The star is in just the opposite of his usual role, he’s an earnest young man, so Instead of being a “smart Alec," earnest, in fact, that others with “smart” ideas can tell him anything and get away with it Josephine Dunn, who played opposite Haines in “Excess Baggage,” makes an appealing little bride as the stagestruck flapper who marries the soda fountain worker; and Sam Hardy gives the screen something new in the way of polished villainy as the assistant director. Mae Busch’scharacter work as the hard-boiled actress is superb. An “Our Gang" Comedy is included in the shortfeatures to be screened.
