“THE PRIVATE LIFE OF HENRY VIII.” Once in a blue moon there zooms across the horizon a picture which combines perfect production, perfect story and perfect acting to stand head

and shoulders over its predecessors. Such a picture is “The Private Life of Henry VIII.” screening at Temuka tonight, and again on Thursday. It is not a dull historical drama but a‘ lusty, exciting tale of a king and his six wives. It is packed with laughs—filled with beautiful women as stirring as a bevy of chorus girls, and the performance of Charles Laughton will long be remembered.
