KING GEORGE THEATRE

SATURDAY

"The Lariat Kid' Hoot Gibson's latest starring Western for Universal is to be shown at the King George Theatre on Saturday. This story of the legendary old west is one of the star's most interesting and entertaining productions. This picture has more than the ordinary amount of thrills with Gibson staging at least five fights'using fists, feet, guns, lariat, and any throwable bric-a-bae hap^ pening to be at hand. Fast riding and hairraising stunts add to the punch of "The Lariat Kid-'''. Ann Christy is seen as the adorable Mary Lou, the girl of Hoot 7s heart. She is one of the most beautiful and talented leading ladies that the. star has ever had. Others in the, supporting cast are Cap Anderson, Mary Foy, Francis Ford, Walter Brenan, Bud Orsborne, Hoe Bennett, Andy Waldron and Jim Corey, ALSO SATURDAY J I MARQUIS PREFERRED *» Entertaining- and amusing gags and bits of business are sprinkled liberally throughout the continuity of Adolphe Menjou's latest starring Paramount picture "Marquis Preferred" which will be also shown on the same programme. The story of "Marquis Preferred" concerns a bankrupt nobleman who agrees to let his tailor, his valet and his chef find him a wealthy wife. Just as they accomplish this feat the Marquis falls in love with a penniless girl and his efforts to reconcile his love with his promise make the amusing theme. TUESDAY ONLY "MADEMOISELLE PARLEYVOO" A Lavish and Entertaining Production. Quite one of the brightest and most entertaining films we have seen for a long time is the British Dominions film —"Mademoiselle Parley-voo' a featured attraction to be screened at the King George Theatre on Tuesday only. This picture is the sequel to the earlier production "Mademoiselle From Armentieres" and tells the adventurous story of the gay Mam'selle after . the war. Many of the characters seen in the first picture again portray their respective roles and Estelle Brody is as attractive as ever in the part she has made her own. In her new^roJ^e^she^ia-av^^rieWJj 1ITltfe'niusicaJ^comedy star, who, with her husband John, runs a reveue show in the provinces which fails to attract the public. They are about to close down when matters are further complicated by the theft during a performance of a valuable ruby belonging to an Indian Rajah. Scotland Yard sends a man down, who, posing as a theatrical agent, arranges with Mademoiselle to continue the show with the leading man. The plot arouses John's jealously and results in the murder of the detective; but the jewel is discovered by a fortunate chance and the thief and murderer is secured under dramatic circumstances, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday "THE LAST WARNING" L The mystery picture " The Last Warnt ing" comes to the King George Theatre on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday \ with Laura La Plante as the lead. All I the ingredients of mystery nave been I jammed into the photoplay. The story is ft set in a theatre which has been closed ■ ever since the murder and disappearance J ft of the body of the star in the midst of W& performance. After five years the ftspooky old theatre is re-opened for reof the same original fatal play the same cast which had formerly,/ HLacted it. Then strange things happen Hs the ghost of the dead staT begins to and warn the players against, rethe play. The last warning l^^om which the picture gets its title is given just before the big gala opening. Tiiere are some splendid performances in the supporting cast, notably those of Montagu Love as the producer, Roy D'Arcy as the leading man. Margaret Livingston as the former burlesque queen, John Boles as the understudy, andmany others, including Bort Roaoh. Mack Swain and Burr Mclntosh. The management begs that patrons will not divulge the ending of the picture to theri friends for to know the ending in advance would be to spoil a wonderful entertainment. COMING SATURDAY 'THE COHENS AND THE KELLYS' The pictured story is helped considerably by an excellent character acting V and clever captions, the leading players /: '' being Vera Gordon, Kate Price, Olive Hsbrouck, George Sidney and. Charles Murray. The tale is one of New York

where the Irish and Jewish families who are the subjects of the story dwell on what is known, as the East Side. On the Jewish side the father runs a clothing store while the Irish father and Ms son are both policemen. The Irish son and the daughter of the Jewish clothier fall in love with each other and get married secretly. This is followed by a notice to the Jewish father that he has inherited the estate of a millionaire relative, and they move to a more fashionable neighbourhood. Then comes the birth of a child to the young policeman and his Jewish wife, which complicates the relationship of the two families until a climax comes along in an entirely satisfactory manner. .
