In the east arc Tom Gallery, Dorothy Gulliver and John Peters. Eo?s Lederman directed the* production, a Charles R. Condon adaption of the story of Albert :S.' Howson. Rinty is seen first as a fighting flyer in "A Dog of the Regiment.' He has sever had a part so heroic, and nn interesting fact about the picture is, that it depicts "many adventures .similar to those experienced by Rinty in real We, before he was rescued by Cuptfiin Duncan from the war-torn French village which was his birthplace. "SEE YOU IN GAOL" Jack Mulhall is the same jovial handsome and at times frolicksome young man in "See You in Gaol" that he has been in many other First National pictures. The word debonnaire seems to apply to Jack especially and by the samn token, Alice Day who plays opposite him is as pretty as a picture and c?n act. This combination is always a pp.tisfction. Among the cast are Mack Swain, Craufofd Kent, George Faweett, .Tohn Kolb, William Oi'lamond, Leo White, Carl Stoekdale, Burr Mclntosh and Charles Clary. "See You in Gaol" can be recommended for its entertainl--ment value and for the perfection of the production as well as the superior acting o the cast. MONDAY AND TUESDAY "THE SPOTLIGHT" The story of a girl who sacrifices her own personality and identity .to gain fame, and then wishes desperately to be herself again. That is "The Spotlight," a Paramount picture starj ring Esther Ralston, which opens at the King George Theatre next Monday and Tuesday.. The action centres about the stage, with the heroine struggling, to gain renown behind the footlights. How she finaHy""does win greater success than she had ever dreamed of, and then longs to cast it all aside to obtain happiness, makes the story an exceptionally absorbing one. For the first, time in her life Esther Rajston plays a dual role or it might better be termed a triple role. Intimate scenes of backstage life are given in the picture as much of the action occurs in I the star's dressing room. Beautiful gowns add their allure, ami an able supporting cast including Neil Hamilton as'the leading man and Nicholas Soussanin as the theatrical producer, contribute to make what critics unite in praising as one of the best filmed in a long time.
