EVERYBODY’S

“MAN POWER” TO-MORROW “Man Power” is all that the name implies in the Richard Dix Paramount picture, .which comes to Everybody’s Theatre to-morrow. It is said to be Dix at his best, in a fast-moving story, with suspense enough to keep audiences sitting on the edge of the seats. The story works up to a tremendous climax when the star, driving a tractor through a rainstorm, rushes up a hillside to save a dam threatened with

a washout. There is action from start to finish, and director Clarence Badger is understood to have skilfully worked up his situations. “Man Power” takes place in a small town. It deals with the adventures of a former tank corps officer, down on his luck, who gets a job into which he puts his heart because the daughter of the president of the company is the girl he loves. Throughout there is a strong vein of comedy.

“Crazy Maize" featuring the latest thins in comediennes Miss Lilian Harvey, and which is the first of the “Maizie Series” of super-special-comedy-dramas, made by UFA, is listed by Cinema Art Films Ltd, for early release. Actually filmed in Paris and on the continent, these delightful features are termed by alLthose who have seen them as “pictorial champagne.”
