OPERA HOUSE, NEW PLYMOUTH.

"SAY IT IN FRENCH" TO-DAY.

A really outstanding double feature programme commences at 2 and 8 p.m. to-day at the Opera House, New Plymouth. . Paramount selected its most promising young charmer, Olympe Bradna, the Parisian bombshell, and its leading romantic male, Ray Milland, to form the starring team of its new society comedy, "Say It In French." Miss Bradna, who has waited until now for a role exactly suited to her unique talents, will be seen as a vivaCious French girl who takes a job as maid in her husband's New York apartment until he can break the news of the marriage to his family. Milland, fresh from his triumph in "Men With Wings," tums to comedy again in the role of the perplexed young American who must shield his marriage from the world in order to keep his father from going bankrupt. Anna May Wong, J. Carrol Naish, Anthony Quinn and Eric Blore are starred in "Island of Lost Men," a thrilling drama of Orientai intrigue, relating how the daughter of an Orientai general attempts to save her father from the hands of a gun-runner and bandit. The drama is filmed against a background of the Straits Settlements, that fever-infested jungle country north of the city of Singapore.
