ENTERTAINMENT.
THRILLS AND HUMOUR.IN “ROOKIES.” If you want to treat yourself to an hour’s side-splitting laughter, and incidentally to see the oddest pair of comedians ever filmed, make a special point of seeing “Rookies,” Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s contribution to the classics of film comedy. The new picture, which comes to the Town Hall to-night, stars Karl Dane (the famous “Slim” of “The Big Parade.”). The story tells of the doings at a citizens’ military training camp, and centres round the adventures of a raw trainee and a very tough sergeant, who tread on each other’s corns at every possible moment in their endeavours to “get square” with each other. It is crammed full of screamingly funny incidents, a particularly good thrill being- provided by a balloon ascent wherein the raw rookie proves that the heroes are sometimes wrapped up in small and funny parcels. A full supporting programme includes “Home Cured” (comedy), Auckland (Scenic), and News. Prices as usual. Jane Novak, star of many features heads “The Danger Signal,” which comes to the Town Hall on Monday. The emotional young actress has a fine opportunity in this thrill drama of the steel rails. She is supported by Dorothy Revier, Robert Edeson, and Gaston Glass. Usual prices.
