OPERA HOUSE

The thrilling adventure classic, "Jungle Book," which screens finally at the Opera House to-day, is the medium of really first-class entertainment and should not be missed being seen. The film is produced in magnificent technicolour. Two Outstanding Comedies. Two outstanding comedies are set down for screening at the Opera House to-morrow and week-end patrons are assured of one of the breeziest entertainments seen for years. The main feature is Century-f oxs madcap comedy, “Rings on Her Fingers,” and stars Gene Tierney, Henry Fonda and Spring Byington. This new picture has Gene Tierney rising from shop-girl to debutante in one fell swoop, wjien Spring Byington and Laird Cregar decide to use her as bait to trap a millionaire into parting with his cash. The “millionaire” turns out to be Fonda and they get away with all the money he has the world. This puts Gene on the spot since she has already fallen in love with him, and the balance of the picture keeps her worrying that he'll find out about her. In his turn, Hank Fonda gets in a gambling spree that is a key to the hilarity of the film. As jackpot after jackpot comes through, Hank’s discomfiture is even more complete. The associate feature, “We Go Fast," is a new 20-Century-Fox comedy starring Lynn Bari is outstanding in her role as the exciting and happy life of men of the motor-cycle police squad. Lynn Bari is outstanding in her role as the wise-cracking waitress who has two men trying to win her.
