KING GEORGE THEATRE

MAj&HXFICENT PROGRAMMES FOB THEI WEEK. THEATRE OOMTOE.TABLY HEATED. SATURDAY. Monte Blue in "One Round Hogan," a Waraer Bros, production comes to the King George Theatre on Saturday. "One Round Hogan" is a fight film and incidentally a love story, lovely Leila Hyams supplies the motivation for "One Round Hogan's" cyclonic performances during several ring scenes, which the directorial genius of Howard Brethreotn have made unbelievably realistic. Blue has . never been better than in this red-blooded fighting play, which offers him a part so well suited to his virile personality. Best fight film of the year. "Tie Rawhide Kid." Trials and woes of an Irish cowboy and a Jewish travelling tradesman are humorously depicted in the "Rawhide Kid," the Universal-Jewel starring Hoot Gibson, which comes to the King George Theatre on Saturday. Gibson plays the part of an Irish cowboy who j introduces a resourceful Jewish busi- | ness man into town much to the disgust of the local know-it-all who immediately takes an interest in the old Hebrew's attractive daughter. From her© the story develops into all manner of excitement, replete with humorous situations, terminating in a happy climax. "The Rawhide Kid" was adapted from Peter B. Kyne's story "The Lion and the Lamb" and directed by Del Andrews. The supporting cast includes Georgia Hale, Frank Hagney, Wlm. H. Strauss, Harry Tocld and others. MONDAY & TUESDAY. "The Law of the Range" is an exciting picture that all should see. It is a combination of love, jealousy and war. It is truly a drama of life well depicted and acted. A splendid supporting- programme will be shown. WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY. "Mother Machree." Dirt roads and wayside shrines, the hovels of peasants and ancient abbeys, together with the folk who live there^ ] are faithfully reproduced in the scenes ' of Old Ireland in Fox Films' version of "Mother Machree." When the producers decided to film Rida Johnson Young's song and story of mother love, they sent technicians and camera-men to Galway, Ireland, and many of the early sequences of the great story were filmed there. This photographic record was brought back to Hollywood where a typical Irish village was built, faithful to the original in every detail. Not only the physical backgrounds but men and. women of pure Irish stock, and typical of their race, were used in the Irish street and home scenes. The cast of players in stellar roles also contains many Irish names. Belle Bennett, as Mother Maehree, is of Irish descent and John Ford who directed the picture and whose " Three Bad Men" has taken the country by storm, is also of Irish stock. "Tell it to Sweeney." If song writers and movie people continue publicizing the name of "Casey" as much as they have done in the past, some man iby that^ name will find it easy to be elected president.

Some years ago, the fame of Casey was brought to the fore with a song concerning Casey, _ the engineer. Then cam© Casey At The Bat, Mudville's noted hitter, who failed to make a run at the crucial1 moment.

And no>w Paramount is aiding Casey by calling one of the central characters "Oannonball Casey" in "Tell It To Sweeney," which will be shown at the King George. In this picture George Bancroft plays Casey and his new comedy team-mate, Chester Conklin, is Luke Beamish, another engineer. COMING SATUKDAY. "The H«rp for a Night." In the opinion of critics throughout the country, "A Hero for a Night," with Glenn Tryoa and Patsy Buth Miller in the leading Toles, is the most \ laughable and fastest. moving farcecomedy of the eurx«ent season. It deals with the attempts of an amateur aviator to fly across the Atlantic and his j eventual success in the- venture pro- I ▼ides laughs by the hnndrecb.
