♦^THEODOBA GOES WILD" TO-NIGHT. - IrcnO Dunne might bo teraied a " Jill-of-all-types.*' She has .be.en a hazel-eyed prima donna ifl ''Irene,'' "Showboat" and "Sweet Adeliiie," an ingenue in "Sweetheart Tinie/' a gracious dowager in 4 ' Cinrarron, ' * a dramatie emotional star in *'Back' Street,,, "Symphony of BiiMillion" and ' ' Magnificenfc Obsession," and in "Theodoi'a Goes Wild,'' her current starring filin which comes to the WaiPokurau Theatre to-night at 8; a light comedienne. Such a record of versatility is probably unmatched by any other 'liviug actor or actress on stage or ■screen, So complete, as a mat' ter of fact, is heT mastery of eacH type of rolo that thoSe wh'o haVe witnessed her debufc as a cotncdy artist in "Theodora Goes Wild" have widely proclaimed that it marka her best effort to clate. Considering the t^ide chasm that separates a portrayal such as that of the blind widow in ''Magnifieent ObseS9ion,> and the smalhtown girl who vYants to be a sophisticate in "Theodora Goe9 Wild," the range and intonsity of Miss Dunne 's art is all the more apparent. This is one of the most successful pictures in Now Zealand, having 'played td Capaeity houSeS wherever 1 shown. Early reservations are advised
