Local movie-goers will be pleased to know that at the next change of programme at- the Town Hall, namely, on Saturday next, Marion Davies will re-appear, her newest Alletro)- Goklwyn-Maiyer starring vehicle being “Marianne,” an original story for (lie screen. Incidentally, it. is Marion Davies’ first all-talking feature. “Marianne” is a. story about a French peasant girl who tried her hardest to keep Allied soldiers a I arms’ length at I In- end of (lie war, but finished up by marrying one of them —in spite of the fact that she once had a French soldier sweetheart of her own. It is essentially a comedy picture, the type Marion Davies iii-.s endeared herself with to her huge army of admirers, but. there is a tremendous added thrill in hearing this popular star talk, especially as tin- broken English she utters is reminiscent to the very life of llie quaint phraseology New Zealand “Diggers" licard from the french girls, thus emphasising the brilliant talent of 'Marion Davies. l''iirtlirrniore, the songs, specially composed for the picture, are sung with infectious merriment and gusto. On the same prog-ram me is “Great Gobs,” all-talking comedy and “Ukulele Ike,” in a vaudeville singing specialty. Usual prices.
