WAIPAWA THEATRE

"STOLEN HOLIDAY" TO-Nlb-HT AND MONDAY. Moments of sheer beauty contrast vividly with moments of tho tensest sort of dramatic suspense in "Stolen Holiday," the new First National romantic drama showing at the Regent Theatre, ^Waipawa, to-night a'nd Monday. The picture stars Kay Francis, whose "Give Me Your Heart," and "The White Angel," are still fresh in the memories of her multitude of admirers. This time Miss Francis appears first as an obscure little mannequin in a tiny Parisian modiste shqp, with ambitions to become the greatest contouriere in the world. We see her progress from better to better things, nntil finally she has reached -her goal. She dictates modes for all the world. She wears, of course, the most gorgeous of creations, which leave the women in the auaience gasping in admiration. Wlat liaj herself doesn't wear is worn Ly sixty-odd mannequins, all tall and slendti and professional, who furuished a treat for masculine as well as feminme eyes. But the Parisian giri s progress has not been easy. It has been aided largely through a rascally financier, Claude Rains, whose schemes finally tumble about his shoulders and cause jpolitical scandals in France, and even street riots in Paris.
