OPERA HOUSE

The new streamlined comedy, “Turnabout,” starring beautiful Carole Landis and John Hubbard, screens finally at the Opera House to-day. In the film Hubbard becomes a fashionable society matron and flutters about at cocktail parties while his wife wears the pants—literally. How the story winds up provides the picture with a surprise-filled climax. “Son of Fury.” Spanning three continents and the seven seas, "Son of Fury," the story of Benjamin Blake, screening et the Opera House to-morrow, is the fiery, action-packed story of a man who battles the world for his birthright. Starring Tyrone Power in the roaring title role, the fllmisation of Edison Marshall’s best - seller "Benjamin Blake," contains the adventures of ten lifetimes replete with lusty fights, adventure and tempestuous romance under a South Sea island moon. Full of suspense and exciting drama, “Son of Fury” highlights the flaming romance of Tyrone Power and the four women who influenced his life—Kay Johnson, who loved him as her own, Frances Farmer, ruthless and coldly beautiful—Elsa Lanchester, a slatternly girl who aided him in a perilous moment, and finally Gene Tierney, exotic and lovely—who gave him peace and love that defied time and distance. "Son of Fury” is the magnificently thrilling dramatisation of a man who knew, how to love as fiercely as he could hate. The supporting programme is reported to he excellent.
