MUNICIPAL THEATRE
OOUBLE FEATURE BILl> At the Hastings Municipal Theatre to-night there is a film that. is best described as a bomhardment of thrills. "The Last Journey" is, without question, the finest railway drama yet produced. It will keep you on ihe edge of your seats with excitement and make you gasp as thrill follows thrill. Writen s^ecially for the screen by J. Jefferson Farjeon, the story concerns, a group of people travelling on an express train. The engine driver, who is due to retire, becomes temporarily . insane when he suspects his wife of infidelity. He takes out the express determined £o hurtle it to destruction. "Barred Windows," the new Warner Bros. mystery melodrama, is the second feature at the Municipal Theatre today. The picture, based on a story! by Jonathan Finn, is said to be one of the most exciting ever screened, with a gun battle between dope runners and police, a penitentiary riot scene, two murders within the prison walls and a jailbreak. Despite its melodramatic flavour the picture is no't without its romance, tho love interest being developed between a star reporter covering the crimes and the secretary of a reformed racketeer, the latter being slain in his cell because he refused to join in a scheme of dope runners.
