TALKIE ATTRACTIONS

OPERA HOUSE

“PACK UP YOU.R TROUBLES.”

Laurel and Hardy, the two popular screen comedians appear finally at the Opera House, Hawera, to-night in “Pack Up Your Troubles.” Merely to say that Laurel and Hardy have brought to the screen the second of their feature-length comedies, -should be sufficient to arouse keen desire to see them in their latest offering. Their antics, though confined within the bounds of reason and propriety, are in themselves so simple as to send theatre audiences into screams of laughter. • What they do in the front line trenches, how they capture scores of prisoners is screamingly funny. Trunaiing over tne top in a crazy tank in an effort to rescue a pal, they; become embroiled in a crazy quilt of ribaldry that fairly rocks the theatre. There is a little tot, too, who furnishes a pathetic foil for the antics of the commedians. Her name is Jacquie Lyn, seen heretofore in comedies with the “Our Gang” kids. She is a curly, blue-eyed talented youngster, and her imitations of the pertinent characteristics of the comedy team provide a rare treat. Excellent performances are given, by the supporting members of the film. Richard Tucker, Mary Carr, Donald Dillaway, Jacquie Lyn, Billy Gilbert and others aid in rounding out a happy company.

.Seats may be reserved at Miss Blake’sj ’phone 2713.

GRAND THEATRE

“SEIGE OF THE SOUTH.”

Truth is stranger —more stirring — than fiction, because happenings in real life are often more terrifying, more unusual, more thrilling than those which emanate from the mind of man. In motion pictures this has long been an established fact. The actual event- is far niore convincing than the re-acted one. For this reason' alone “Sei'ge of the South” will be eagerly received by' picture patrons at the Grand Theatre to-morrow at 3 and 8 p.ni. The film is the official record of the British, Australian,' New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition, under the leadership of Sir Douglas Mawson, on their second cruise aboard the Discovery into the frozen south, and as the' last w r ord in thrilling and educational entertainment.
