WAIPUKURAU THEATRE
"KOMEO AND JDLIET" TO-NIGHT AND TO-MOEEOW ''When one is asked to chooss the pieture that proved most satisfying in all the year, one pauses. When asked what is the best pieture oue has ever seen, there should be a much longer pause. Many fine, even splendid prouuetions come crowding to the mjnd. And yet, aftcr seeing "Eomeo aud Juliet,' the hesitation is not prolonged," says the film critic of the Sydn&y Sun, in reviewing this pieture, whibh Rcreens at the Waipukurau Theatre, to-night, Tuesday, and Wednesday at 8 o'clock. "In the writer's opinion this is the most beautiful pieture which has come from the ecreen. It is unnecessary to say that it has one of the most exquisite love stories ever written for its foundation ; it has beauty and purity of dinJogue. The actual production, liowcver, the human element, has proved so nbsolutely wovthy of Shakespeare. " Norma Shearer and Leslie Howard fill the title roles, while in suppoi't afe Johr Barrymore, Basil Eathbone, C. Aubrey Smith and Edna May Olivei. "There is so much of movement, life, of laughter, in this pieture, which givps to the eye and the ear such trae lovpliness such ineffable pathos. Each sccne has a nicety of detail that, marks it a pai't from all the other glorious scenes. ' '
