LYRIC THEATRE
TALKIES TOMORROW Tomorrow evening the Lyric Theatre will open its doors as a talkie house. Sincp the advent of talkies to Auckland this once popular theatre has languished, but during the last few days the theatre has been completely repainted and renovated, and equipped with the latest type of Western Electric talkie installation. As the Lyric is a most comfortable theatre, has excellent acoustics through being built originally as a vaudeville theatre, and is most conveniently situated for a considerable part of the population of Auckland, it should now take on a new lease of life. For the opening attraction the new management, Mesrs. Prentice Bros., Ltd., has been fortunate in securing a splendid talkie programme. Romance and drama are excellently blended in the chief attraction, "Slightly Scarlet,” starring Evelyn Brent and Clive Brook. The plot revolves round the operations of a clever jewel thief. Brook appears as a mysterious Englishman, who is also a jewel thief. How the scheming of both thieves is frustrated and they change their ways, makes an absorbing story. Comedy is the principal ingredient in the supoprting programme, which will include a Mickey the Mouse cartoon. The box plans are now open for the first performance.
