OPERA HOUSE
Those with a taste for adventure spiced with plenty of romance will find “Son of Fury," which screens at the Opera House to-day. well to their liking. In its class the picture is firstclass entertainment, and unlike many adventure tales, it does not strain one’s credulity for the sake of effect. The stars are Tyrone Power and George Sanders, the former taking the Bart of Ben Blake, who flees from tyranny as represented by the suave Sanders, makes his fortune overseas on a tropic isle, and returns to claim his revenge and rights. The background is early England, and the period, with its boisterous modes and | manners, is well reproduced. 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 Lancaster, a slatternly girl who aided him in a perilous moment, and finally Gene Tierney, exotic and lovely—who gave him peace and lovt that defied time and distance. Tha supporting programme is outstanding. It includes some of the first pictured of bombing raids ever screened, and a short showing the Australians and Americans in action in New Guinea.
