ROYAL, KINGSLAND
“HINEMOA” AND VAUDEVILLE “The Romance of Hinemoa” will be shown at the Theatre Royal, Kingsland, to-night. The legend, which is a simple tribal story of love and hate, has been re-acted in the original locations of Lake Rotorua and in the sinister and fire-swept volcanic areas with their hot springs, geysers, choking vapours of sulphur and gushing wells of boiling mud. which are New Zealand’s eerie heritage. Hinemoa. was a Princess of the Arawa tribe, who fell in love with Tutanekai, Prince of the Ngati tribe, and sought him by swimming across the Rotorua Lake with its dangerous eddies and currents. The scenic values are said to be exceptional, and the Maoris prove themselves very fine actors. “Hinemoa” is played by a very beautiful Maori maid and "Tutanekai” is a handsome and muscular young giant. The film was directed and photographed by Gustav Pauli. A large vaudeville programme will also be presented this evening.
