‘THE NIGHT RIDE” If you want to know—What it feels like to be “taken for a ride”— How a gunman acts when he is on tfie warpath— What the American newspaper game really is, at its best and worst— Then, don’t miss “Night Ride,” sensational Universal all-talking picture of a gunman and a newspaper reporter, which is now at the Plaza Theatre. Nothing like it has ever been seen on the screen. Joseph Schildkraut, star of “Show Boat” and one of the most versatile actors in pictures, has the starring role of a “dude” reporter who incurs the deadly enmity of the gunman. REGENT, EPSOM “Under the Greenwood Tree” is the chief of the two talkies now being shown at the Regent Theatre. Manukau Road. This is a beautifully produced and wholly delightful version of Thomas Hardy’s famous novel of Wessex country life. One of the leading roles is played by John Batten, the Auckland boy. The scenery, the music and the acting in this picture are all of a high standard. The second attraction is “Melody Lane,” the tale of a. young New York song writer’s success. Josephine Dunn and Eddie Leonard are the stars. AKARANA YACHT CLUB DANCE The usual Wednesday evening dance of the Akarana Yacht Club will be held in the clubhouse. Mechanics’ Bay, this evening.
