“THE COCOANUTS”

There are so many wonderful things to be seen and heard and to tell about “The Cocoanuts,” that one hardly knows where to begin. “The Cocoanuts” is a Broadway Musical Comedy that created a sensation in New York. All its infectious comedy, its delightful melodies, and wonderful dancing, have been caught by tire camera, and now Auckland is able to see and hear what New Y"ork has been raving about. The Four Marx Brothers, who were a success in the original stage show, are to be found with their comical capers and hilarious and infectious humour in the picture. Mary Eaton, one of the Ziegfeld stars and actress of the musical comedy stage, and Oscar Shaw, another star, are to be seen and heard also. Then there is the wonderful dancing of sixty gorgeous girls and bathing beauties, who form one of the greatest ballets that you have ever seen. Add to this the woficlerful setting, and great comedy of the production, anu one will have but a small idea of what is in store when you see this Paramount all-talking, singing and dancing sensation at the New Regent Theatre. „A varied and exceedingly attractive short subject programme is shown on the same programme. A fine quarter from *“Rigoletto,” a Pathe review and a talking comedy, “Post Mortems,” are special features.
