SATURDAY NIGHT.

THE TEASER.

Flirting with, married men is like riding in an airplane—there’s a lot of fun in It until something goes wrong,' and then there’s a smash ! This is; what .the lovely Laura La Plante discovers in -her latest Uni-versa-l-Jewel feature, in which the inimitable Pat O’Malley is a featured player. For she flirts by wholesale to get even with an aunt who interfered with her rea,l. love affair with a cigar drummer, and presents what hap become ‘the nam® a new kind of flapper—“ The Teaser.” That’s the name of .this new picture—a hilarious comedy-romance that shows the sprightly Laura in a very new sort of a role. It is crammed with laughs. ‘ WIRTH BROS’. CIRCUS. BETTER THAN EVER. ’ The feeling in the lir that soffie particularly pleasing event is, about to .transpire i& justified by the announcement that Wirth Bros’, huge combination of circus and menagerie will open in Paeroa on Tuesday, March 2, opposite the railw.ay station, for one night only. Sensation follows sensation in this season’s programme with such bewildering rapidity that, difficult as it may appear for anything of the kinds to happen, .Wirths have this year really a*n<i truly excelled/themselvep in their offering for the community’s entertainment. A peal act that reveals heights in animal training hitherto undreamt of heads the bill, while anofther “out of the bog” is Torelli’s Miniature Circus of performing ponies, dogs, monkeys, and mules. Space precludes .a detailing of the many star performers, the great majority of whom have found their, place there .as the result of Mr Wirth’s selection during hip recent world tour. The large zoo will, be open from 4' to 5 when the animals will be fed. .
