OPERA HOUSE

The most magnificent musical in cinema history, “The Goldwyn Follies,” screens finally at the Opera House to-day. The film is in Technicolour and there are a number of popular song hits. “Turnabout*” Carole Landis, who ■' made her bow under the Hal Roach bannef* as a prehistoric debutante, is co-starred with handsome John Hubbard in Roach’s new streamlined comedy “Turn[about,” film from the Inorne Smith novel screens to-morrow at the Opera House, through United Artists release. 'Miss Landis and Hubbard are supported oy an imprsssive cast of players wnicn includes Adolphe Mexijou, William Gargan, Verree Teasaale, Mary Astor, Donald Meek and Margaret Roach. “Turnabout” was directed by Hal Roach personally and its hilarious plot concerns the hig.i jinks’produced when Miss Landis as Mrs Willows and Hubbard as her husband exchange sexes. The svelte, shapely Miss Dandis steps into her husband’s oversize shoes and experiments with the problems faced by the male portion ot humanity. Six-foot, broad-shouldered Hubbara becomes a fashionable society matron and ’‘flutters about at cocktail parlies while his wife wears the pants—literally. How the story winds up provides the picture witn a surprise-tilled climax.
