“KNOCK-OUT REILLY”

REGENT ON FRIDAY In “Knock-out Reilly,” his latest Paramount starring production, to be shown at the Regent Theatre on Friday next, Richard Dix appears in a picture that will appeal to sport and film fans alike. Briefly the story is that of Dundee Reilly (Dix), who works in a steelmill, and on Saturday night goes out in search of a little recreation and romance. Although professing utter disregard for all girls, he is immensely flattered when he receives a message purporting to be from Mary Malone (Mary Brian), pretty entertainer in a cabaret that be and his friends frequent. The message Invites him backstage to meet her, and not knowing that this is a little joke of his friends, he leaves his table and goes to her dressing room. He finds there Killer Agerra (Jack Renault), champion pugilist, making advances to Mary, and without knowing who he is, knocks him out. Later Agerra reciprocates by decoying Reilly to his gymnasium and beating him up. Reilly, looking for revenge, puts himself in | the hands of Pat Malone, Mary’s brother, himself a former pugilist, for training, and rapidly rises to gladiatorial eminence. Complications set in, and Reilly, on the eve of a championship tight with Agerra, finds himself railroaded to prison for two years for felonious assault. How he manages to keep in condition, notwithstanding his confinement, and how, on his release, he clears his name, and wins the girl and the championship, j are unfolded in a series of dramatic j scenes interwoven with light liumor- : ous touches. Events move rapidly to a smashing denouement, in which Dix | wins out in the end.
