AMUSEMENTS

KING’S THEATRE “IN NAME ONLY": EAST DAY Carole Lombard, Cary Grant and Kay Francis, three of the screen’s topflight stars, share honours in what Hollywood itself has deemed one of the year’s most noteworthy entertainments—"ln Name Only.’’ which will finish at the King's Theatre to-night. —“Timber Stampede” anil “Career": To-morrow — Filmed against the heavily timbered slopes of an impressively beautiful region in the Rocky Mountains, "Timber Stampede," which commences at the King's Theatre to-morrow, "brings to the screen one of the best of all George O'Brien Westerns. The story is concerned with the attempted fraudulent grab bv a couple of corrupt land-barons of the valuable timber areas that stretch for miles around the Wagon Wheel Pass Country. This attempt is opposed—and after severe lighting, is frustrated—by the cattlemen who have spread their ranches and pastured their herds in this territory for years. O’Brien has never given a more convincing performance, nor displayed such a complete array of talents as in this rousing, action- 1 filled film. It is a Western of high order! Anne Shirley and Edward Ellis, who scored in "A Man to Remember," again appear together in another small town drama, "Career.’’ The RKO Radio picture, from Phil Strong’s novel, concerns a country store-keeper’s efforts to smooth out the troubles of his family, his friends and his fellow townsmen.
