PLAZA THEATRE
“NOTHING SACRED” Hailed by the critics of America as the year’s best comedy, “Nothing Sacred,” showing finally to-night al the Plaza Theatre, is a hilarious dramatisation of life in New York city. Carole Lombard is seen as a small-town girl with a yearning for New York; Fredric March is the ace reporter of the New York Morning Star, of which Walter Connolly is managing editor, and Charles Winninger is a small-town medico. To disclose the actual nature of the hoax, which turns New York upside down and inside out, would rob picturelovers of pleasure when the film is released. “Credo,” Unique Spectacle In all its splendour, “Credo,” the only official film of the Catholic Centenary celebrations held at Auckland, between February 25 and March 5, comes to the Plaza Theatre to-mor-row. There are many unforgettable scenes in this unique picture, which shows one, the Credo Play, with 4000 players, choir of 200 and orchestra of 100; the famous Eucharistic Procession in which 30,000 people took part; the great Auckland Domain Rally, where 40,000 people were present; special Mass at Western Springs for men, women and children; the arrival of delegates; the civic reception, Auckland Town Hall; the Totara Point celebrations, the colourful Remuera garden party. One will also hear such distinguished speakers as Archbishop Panico and the Prime Minister of New Zealand; Archbishop Gilmartin, of Ireland; Archbishop Duhig, of Brisbane; Archbishop Mannix, of Melbourne; Archbishop O’Shea, of Wellington; Archbishop Simonds, of Hobart; Archbishop Gilroy, of Sydney; Bishop Liston, of Auckland; Dr. Ryan, of Belfast; Father Owen Dudley, of England; and the special Mass ceremony at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. The supporting feature is “Back to Nature.”
