OPERA HOUSE, NEW PLYMOUTH.

"SAFARI" TO-MORROW. "Say It In- French," Paramount's screamingly funny hit, starring Ray Milland, Olympe Bradna and Irene Hervey, and "The Island of Lost Men," featuring Anna May Wong and J. Carrol Naish, will be screened finally at 2 and 8 p.m. to-day at the Opera House, New Plymouth. A beautiful white woman alone in the heart of the jungle with two men. That is the situation in Paramount's "Safari," thrilling action-romance which opens at the Opera House to-morrow, with Madeleine Carroll, blonde English star, as the woman, and Douglas Fairbanks jnr., and Tullio Carminati as the two men. "Safari," filmed against the background of an African big game hunt, tells the story of a girl who sets out to get her man— and winds up pitting two men against each other for her love. Carminati. as a Continental millionaire, invites Miss Carroll to accompany him on the safari. Fairbanks is the virile young guide for the expedition. To stir Carminati's interest and arouse his jealousy, Madeleine devotes her attention to Fairbanks, with the result that the two men are soon at each other's throats. The supporting cast includes Muriel Angelus, screen newcomer; Lynne Overman, popular comedian; and Billy Gilbert, comedy favourite of musical comedy, legitimate stage and screen. The film is replete with thrilling action scenes — raging jungle beasts, weird African voodoo rites and exciting chases by land and air of big game.
