“THE FIGHTING EDGE.”

RATTLING MELODRAMA

There is a. rattling good melodrama of the Mexican border at the Town Hall on Friday, where “The Fighting Edge,” a Warner Bros. Classic of the Screen, released by Master Pictures, will be seen with Kenneth Harlan and Patsy Ruth Miller in the leading roles. The story concerns the smuggling of aliens into the United States, and gives the hero, a Spanish-Irish young man, an opportunity to engage in some exciting fights with the smugglers, and to convince the pretty heroine that beneath his indolent manner lurks the fighting edge that carries him successfully through all difficulties. Henry Lehrman directed the picture, which is based on the novel by William McLeod Raine. Also “Oliver Twisted” (comedy), News and Cartoon. Usual prices. Saturday night will see the presentation at usual prices of the 10 reel Metro-Goidwyn-Mayer super attraction “The Fire Brigade,” produced with the co-operation of the fire chiefs and the U.S.A.. The biggest blaze in screen history staged by fire chiefs themselves. Twenty engines in action, every known piece of fire-fighting equipment, hundreds of fire-fighters —all in a mighty human drama full of heart throbs and thrills. Don’t miss this Saturday, it’s a winner.
