MUNICIPAL THEATRE
"]MAN ON THE FLYING- TRAPEZE* ' AND "THE GLASS KEY." W. C. Fields, laugh pro-noter of the age, ^reaches the top of his forin as a comedian and pantoniimist iii his-latest Paramount laugh riot, "Man on the Flying Trapeze," now sereening at the Municipal Theatre. ■ Fields is cast as a submissive, blundering husband constantly hen-peeked by his wife and mother-in-law, in • f aet • by everyone ex- * cept his daughter who is the apple of ! his eye. His attempt to get to a ' wrestling match is only oue of the many mirth provoking dilemnias in ' which Fields iinds himself. Each preceding aitd succceding experience is iudelibly staniped with the Fields pautoruime and humour. The draina of a political battle, the excitement of a murder mystery and the tenderness of roiiance are the elements from which are woven the'engrossing story of ' ' The Glass ' Key, '■ ihe second feature at the Municipal Theatre. Georgo Raft returns t,o tho type of characterisation which won liim fame at the outset of his career in this picture. Teanied with Edward Arnold, he is the hard-iisted, tight-mouthcd and loyal coiupanion of the older man.
