TUESDAY.

' 'Madame Pompadour

What a way she had with, her! Men lavished favours on her. Nations listened to her every word. A king raised her to the heights. Generals bowed to her slightest whim. She caused a wa-r, which cost the life of thousands, and the loss of a great tract of land. And, when she was about to lose the favour of her lord and' master, Louis XV of France she won it back by methods such as only a woman like Pompadour could have devised. Yes, to use a slang expression, Madame Pompadour certainly must have had "It."'How else can ycu account for the fact that she raised herself from an ordinary Parisian home to a position on the right hand of ~the French throne? How else can you "account for the fact that when a man who had sworn he ha/ted her, met her, he was ready to lay his heart at her feet. One can't vouch for the last statement. History doesn't record it, but legend tells us of the young poet with whom Madame Pompadour was supposed to have an affaire dv eoeur. It is principally about this incident in her life that Paramount's latest release has beenbuilt. With Diorothy Gish. as La Pompadour and Antonio Moreno the lover, heights of romjanee which have never been topped are looked forward to. "Madame Pompadour" will be shown at the King George on Tuesday next.

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. On Wednesday two outstanding pictures will be shown. The first is the carnival of laughter. You'll simply scream when you see Charlie Murray in the sensational mystery play and hilarious comedy—a thrilling romance all woven into one great picture "The Gorrilltt-" It will grip you. You'll shiver with laughter and shake. See.Murray as Mulligan and Fred Kelsey as Garrity, those two snappy detectives whom, the Gorilla made monkeys out of. Don*t miss this thrilling, killing mystery comedy. It's the biggest riot of thrills and panic of> laughs ever screened.'
