ENTERTAINMENTS.

AUROBA THEATRE PICTURES. TO-NIGHT. THE OPENING NIGHT. “The Opening Night” is a story of love gone wrong, woven into a tens.e, gripping screen drama in w,hich all the human emotions are brought into play and tears and laughter mingle in proper proportion. Also on the programme is a William Fox picture entitled “Don’t Marry;” CHRISTMAS NIGHT. A KISS FOR CINDERELLA. A whimsical, wistful romance with the London slums for a modern background. To emphasise the Cinderella theme of the plot a fantastic dream ball is introduced which is one of the most novel, bizarre, and gorgeous scenes ever shown on the screen. Aside from its imaginative qualities, the story ha? a tremendous heart appeal and a love element of unrivalled charm. WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. PARTNERS IN CRIME. High melodrama of the most thrilling sort combines with the delicious comedy that only Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton c,an provide and an absorbing love theme in “Partners in Crime,” the theme of which is the ever-thrilling one of the, law’s battle against crooks of the underworld. The locale of the picture is ai great American city, torn by c,rime and cowed by the ruthless savagery of uncontrolled gangsters.
