WAIPAWA REGENT
"THE GREAT ZIEGFELD" TO-MORROW.
"The Great Ziegfeld" Metro-Gold-wyn-Mayer's giant picture, showing at Waipawa on Saturday and Monday, can be described in three words— World 's Greatest Entertainment. Challenging all competition, "The. Great Ziegfeld" has more first-rate entertainaient values crowded within its sixteen reels than* any other picture labelled "musical" or otherwise. It has a triple-star treat — William Powell, Myrna Loy and Luise Rainer — to tell a story suggested by the career of Florenz Ziegfeld, with Powell as Ziegfeld, Miss Loy as Billie Burke and Miss Rainer as Anna Held. The entertainment -value becomes a Parade of Ziegfeld, for the cast also features such world-famous entertainers as Eanny Brice, the ruling American comedienne; Harriet Hoetor, whom Ziegfeld acclaimed the Pavlova of America; and Ray "Rubber Legs" Bolger, Broadway dancing star. Also through the story march i-mpersonations of such memor* able characters as Will Rogers, Eddie Cantor, W. C. Fields, Bert Williams, Nat Wills, Lew Dowstader, Lee Shubert, Joseph Urban, Irving Berlin, George "White and Charles Frohman. Owing to the unusual length of the big feature Saturday afternoon 's screening will commence at 2 o'clock and evening performances at 7.45.
