"WHEN FLEET MEETS FLEET."

"When Fleet Meets Fleet," a Master Picture release, is the first photoplay which has used the Battle of Jutland as a story background, and it is a sufficiently good production, that to see it inspires pride in the efficiency and might of our sea arm. The story is of a German Commander, married to an English girl, who neglects her for his

guns. A young German lieutenant makes love to her, who is also a close friend of her husband. On the outbreak of war the wife has threatened to elope with the young lieutenant, but hostilities put a stop to a dviel between the two men. Comes the Battle of Jutland, in which the German, commander is killed and the Englishman wounded and taken to Kiel. The wife nurses him back to life and finally, on the declaration of the Armistice, he takes her back to England as his wife. Th« young Lieutenant dies heroically in blowing up his submarine to save it from capture.

Also —

"STOP THAT MAN."

Try to stop from laughing at "Stop That Man" and you'll be doing something that the audience couldn't do. It's a production that well deserves the name of comedy as it is packed with laughs of all kinds —long ones, short ones, and medium ones. There is also a clever story of youth in the picture and towards the end the suspense builds up, holding. the audience until the exciting finish.

Monday and Tuesday "TELLING THE WOELD."

In "Telling the Worfld," his latest starring picture for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, William Haines reveals himself as an actor of great dramatic ability, as well as a comedian of the highest rank. For the story requires him to face a Chinese revolution —and Chinese summary justice—for the sake of a girl he loves —and in this thrilling sequence he keeps his spectators on the tip-toe of mingled suspense and excitement. '' Telling the World registers Haines comedy however, equally as much as his dramatic talent,'and spontaneous laughter comes again, and again from the crowds who are now seeing this triumph and comedy-drama" at the King George Theatre. "THE PIONEER SCOUT." Motion picture actors and actresses are called upon at various times to display rare talent in performing some task before the camera which is fitting for the story. Mountain climbing was the task asked of Fred Thomson and Tom Wilson in '' The Pioneer Scout," to be shown at King George Theatre. Thomson is one of the big scenes of the picture, chases Wilson over a mountain, and one that has plenty of rugged peaks and canyons. Neither artist employed a double for the action, and each risked ~his life in order film fans may get a big thrill. A climax is reached when the two become engaged in a fight on a crag, with a canyon several hundred feet deep below them.

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. FUNNY SITUATIONS IN DENNY PICTURE NOW AT KING GEORGE

THEATRE

"Good Morning, Judge," which is to open at King George Theatre will prove a decided treat for movie-goers. It is a Reginald Denny feature and is his best so far.

It tops '' Skinner's Dress Suit,'' '' On Your Toes'' and others of the Universal star's popular comedy hits. The handsome Denny is seen at 'his best and he romps through the scenes scattering laughs and sparkling humour on every side.

The climax, which is a fight between Denny and two crooks, makes up for any lack of tense situations in the early part of the picture. It is as thrilling as the remembered boxing bout in '' On -Your Toes" which aroused .so much praise from picture goers.

Beautiful) and blonde Mary Nolan appears opposite Denny. Others in the surprisingly good cast were Dorothy Gulliver, Otis Harlan, William Davidson, William Worthington, Bull Montana, Sailor Sharkey and Charles Coleman.

Coming Saturday, October 27. "THE GIRL FROM. CHICA.GO."

Melodrama, good old-fashioned, honest melodrama, never loses its claim on our imaginations and in Warner Bros's production "The Girl from Chicago," starring Conrad Nagel and Myrna Loy, true melodrama again comes to life. Here" is the thrill of the subterranean

haunts of a great city, the crooks, the cops, the upright and the mean, and through it all glitters the brave girl who has come from her sheltered Southern home to free her brother from the gang which has caused his sentence to execution.
