Wellington Theatre Goes Talkie. The Grand Opera House at Wellington went talkie last night, when “Innocents of Paris,” featuring the French idol Maurice Chevalier, was screened. “Innocents of Paris’ is Chevalier’s first talking picture, and, from the reception accorded him on the opening night, he is destined to become immensely popular with New Zealand audiences. Chevalier sings six songs, two in French and four in English. Ifis rendering of “Louise” and “On Top of the World Alone” are remarkable for their clarity and intonation. Another Theatre Goes Talkie. The inroads being made by the talkies into the domain of the theatres is again indicated by the conversion of the Princess Theatre, Melbourne, into a long-run Cinesound’ show, under the control of Union Theatres Limited. Film For University Archives. Harvard University has received a print of the film “What Price Glory?” to be preserved in the university archives.
