DE LUXE THEATRE.

Myrna Loy plays beside George Brent in "Stamboul Quest," a dramatic story of intrigue in the Orient, at the De Luxe Theatre. It deals with counter-espion-age, and reveals the thrilling story of the journey to Constantinople of a beautiful secret agent of the German Government who goes to test the loyalty of a high Turkish officer. But before she goes she commits what is almost a fatal error; she falls in love. On the brilliant stage of Constantinople a drama is played out which might almost decide the fate of the war. The picture is full of excitement, and not without a liberal spice of humour.

The musical drama, "Wonder Bar," will be shown for the first time in Wellington at the Dc Luxe Theatre on Friday. Kay Francis plays the leading feminine role opposite Al Jolson, who portrays the proprietor of the "Wonder Bar." Ricardo Cortez and Dolores Del Rio have the parts of two dancers, while Dick Powell and Henry Kolker have the roles of an American composer-orchestra leader and the husband of Kay Francis respectively. Plal Le Roy, Guy Kibbee. Hugh Herbert, Ruth Donnelly, Louise Fazenda, Robert Barrat, Fifi d'Orsay, and Merna Kennedy are also starred. "Wonder Bar" proved an international sensation a few years ago. It played for months in all of Europe's capitals. Xo production since "The Miracle" has been so generally and so generously welcomed in America. A few months ago First National acquired the screen rights and proceeded to make extensive plans for its presentation as the greatest film spectacle of modern times.
