CAPITOL
“KNOCK-OUT REILLY” ‘Knockout Reilly,” Rickard Dix’s latest starring vehicle coming to-night to the Capitol Theatre, is the highly exciting cinema record of the fistic adventures of a young steel worker, who almost overnight finds himself on the verge of pugilistic fame, and whose career is as suddenly blasted by a combination of circumstances that land him in prison, convicted of a crime of which he is innocent. Kpisode piies on exciting episode as Dix struggles to
retrieve nis good name. A smashing denouement results i n Dix’s emerging a pugilistic champion. The thread of the story carries a strong love theme, with Mary Brian as the object of Reilly’s affections. Jack Renault is featured. It is said that director Malcolm St. Clair has
succeeded in an unusually perfect hlendinsr of liumour, pathos and drama. The play was adapted Payson Terhune’s story, The Hunch.
