IWO riNE DBAMAS. Fast-moving dramatic action along with a thrilling and dangerous romance makes "Silk Hat Rid," which starts its engagement to-nigbt on the sereen of the Municipal Tbeatre, one of the most powerful and most daring Hlnis ever to be present. Lew Ayres is revealed as a fast-thinking, two-flsted boydguard. Paul Kelly, owner of a cafe located in the perilous slums of a big city, bires Ayres to protect bim from chiseling racketeers. Ayres imeets and falls in love with Mae Clarke, Eelly's girl friend, and an intense rivalry results: Botb men come to bate each other bitterly and gunplay appears to be the only way out. But at this point the film takes on such tbrill ing drama that it promises to keep tbe'atre audiences highly entertained tbroughout. Based on C. M. Forester's novel, "Brown on Resolution," a story of naval adventure on Resolution Island, one of the lonely Galapagos group in the Pacific, is also at the Municipal. This is the lirst purely dramatic film in which the full co- operation of the British Adrniralty has been successfully sought. Previously the naval authorities had limited thpir permission to purely domumentary pictures.
