GRAND
THREE BIG PICTURES The first of the three big pictures which make up the current programme at the Grand Theatre is “The King.” a story of a champion boxer's rise to fame. The opening of the picture shows him as a rough-and-ready boxer in a carnival sideshow, who will take on all comers. He meets his wife among the carnival folk, but their happiness is broken with their rise in the social world. Lillian Hall-Davis and Carl Brisson have the leading roles. The second feature is a typically uproarious Sammy Cohen comedy. This is “Plastered in Paris,” with the redoubtable Sammy as an American tourist visiting Paris. He ends up most unexpectedly as a Foreign Legionaire fighting Riffs in Morocco. Renee Auoree. who was born in a tent and spent her childhood traveling French byways with a carnival wagon show, will appear as a high diver in a circus caravan in “The Speiler.’' There will be fat ladies, living skeletons, popcorn and red lemonade in “The Speiler,” which deals with the picturesque aspects of gipsy show life. Alan Hale, Clyde Cook and Fred Kohler are featured.
