ENTERTAINMENTS

OPERA HOUSE, TO-NIGHT, ■‘I.AIRES TC BOARD.” ' kimpporc-sd by an. excellent cast, Tom Mix made his first' appearance in •‘.Ladies to Board’* at'the upera House last night to a large anci deugntec. audience. Trie picture is a-sure iaugu provoker, with plenty of action ano Mixiaii thrills. With Pee Wee Holme, as a pardner, Mix innerits an oki ladies' home and. starting with this situation, the story jg- one big laugi, after another interspersed witii blocdwarming action. Mix does some deathdefying stunts ten stories in tne air on the structural work of a sky-scraper and rides Tony with his characteristicrecklessness and trick horsemanship. In the cast are Gertrude Olmsted, playing opposite the star ; Phil McCullough, the heavy; Gertrude Claire, Fay Rolderness and Delores Rqus.se. Tlie supports include a Sunshine comedy, “A Waiter’s Wasted Life,” one of the best shown in Hawera for a long time. OPERA HOUSE, HAWERA. TUESDAY NEXT. HIGH ARTISTIC PRAISE OF THE CHERNIAVSKYS. There is one remarkable lessen to be learned from the wonderful young geniuses Leo, Jan and Mischel Cherm-a-vsky,- and that is that -the work oi the musicians, when presented' with power, definitely ’.stimulates the minds and emotions of the general public. A well-known artist, writing of the Cher-' niavskys, says: “They are three young iriesLs from the N Temple of the Muses, who have been projected into ,the world to bring comfort ’to the hearts of tens of thousands. Tlieif music brings with it a message of hope and joy, liope and joy that will tend to develop expanding ideas in those privileged to hear it. One leaves the presence of the artists and the concert hall they play in, but one never entirely leaves the presence of their haunting miisic, for its essence seems to> cling permanently to one, and makes for increased happiness and optimism. If I wanted to do. a good turn to anyone I would recdm mend them to listen to the Cherniavskys’ music, and that as often’as possible. There has been much exceptional interest in these much-travelled artists and it goes without saying that they will receive an enthusiastic reception on their appearance at the Opera House, Hawera, next Tuesday. The box plan is now open at Everybody’s Sweet Store. .

HA WEE A OPERATIC SOCIETY. “OUB MISS GIBBS.” Among tlie triumphs of comic opera staged by the Ha we r a Operatic Society there are none more appreciated than, the sparkling comic ipera “Our Miss Gibbs.” On the three previous performances it. drew record houses, numbers each night being unable to obtain admission. At the request of the Hawera Hospital and Plunket Society a repeat performance, will be given at the Opera House in aid of these two institutions on Monday evening next. As there, is every indication of another' record house, intending patrons are urged to reserve seats ' and save disappointment. Box plan is now open at Everybody’s Sweet Store. EMPRESS PICTURES, MAXAIA. SATURDAY—MATINEE AND EVENING. “Mv Wild Irish Bose.” a picture the very title of which will appeal to all sons of Emerald Isle, is billed as the starring attraction at Empress Pictures, Manaia, on Saturday. The story is adapted,from the famous stage play “The Rhnugrnn.” which liad such a success in London. The pictuio is a romance of Shamrock Isle, and breathes the very atmosphere of the old sod, and there is the touch of brogue in every title that makes one live in the very atmosphere of old Erin. Pauline Starke and Pat O’Mally are the 3tar players, and the interpretation of the former as the sweetheart of the shaugran is tempered with pathos and feeling. There will be a special matinee at 2 p.m. Patrons are advised to be earlv.
