KING'S THEATRE.
"This Is the Life," starring Jane Withers, is screening at the Kings Theatre. The second attraction is "Thunder#Mountain." ... Tomorrow the late Will Rogers will be seen in "In Old Kentucky." Adapted from the play whose humour, sunny romance, and tingling horse-race drama have made it a favourite of three generations of Americans, "In Old Kentucky" stars Rogers in a role that presents his rich down-to-earth, character in a most lovable light. Sam Hollmann, famous humorist, and Gladys Lehmann, adapted the play to the screen, in a modernised,form, but preserved all of its drama and its rich comedy of character and incident. In the picture Rogers enacts a shrewd and genial trainer of horses whose homely Philosophy and keen wit sets right all the troubles of the impulsive people about him. Russell Hardie and Dorothy Wilson play the romantic youngsters in "Old Kentucky." A glamorous ne W star is introduced in the second film, "Dressed to Thrill." That Miss Tutta Bolf has beauty cannot be doubted, and reports indicate that her acting matches her looks. Playing opposite her in this remarkable sliory of a village girl who became the toast of Europe is an old favourite who never fails to please, Clive Brook.
