TUDOR, REMUERA

“TELLING THE WORLD” William Haines’s picture, ‘Telling the World,” is a romance of the great Press agencies of the world, and will be screened at the Tudor Theatre, Remuera, this evening. In this picture Haines essays the rqle of a newspaper reporter. As the story moves round to a Chinese revolution, with a girl’s life at stake, many unusual thrills are added to comedy, and action piles on action, sensation on sensation right to the final fade-out. Anita Page makes her debut to the screen opposite Haines, while Polly Moran and Bert Roach are other favourites who appear in the cast. ‘Sailors Don’t Care,” which will also be shown, is a breezy tale of two amorous bluejackets. Estelle Brody and John Stuart are the stars. BRITANNIA “THE WRIGHT IDEA” In Johnny Mine’s latest picture, “The Wright Idea,” now being shown at the Britannia Theatre, the comedian unwittingly runs off with a yacht which doesn’t belong to him, for the i simple reason that the kind soul who gave it to him didn’t own it. Consequently, the owner of the yacht becomes anxious for his stolen property, broadcasts his loss over the, radio, and obtains the co-operation of a United States Xavv Eagle Boat to help run down the boat, which is rumoured to be in the hands of bootleggers. This is only one of the many hilarious happenings in the story, which is I amusing from beginning to end. | Esther Ralston, in “The Blind Godj dess,” is the second attraction.
