AMUSEMENTS.

Plaza Theatre. Wallace Beery stars in Darryl F. Zanuck’s production, “A Message to Garcia,” which shows at the Plaza Theatre to-day and on Monday. Beery shares the acting honours with Barbara Stanwyck and John Boles. They are three gay adventurers joined in an undertaking that changes the destinies of three nations, and their adventures in a tropical jungle make a story of high courage and glorious romance. Wallace Beery is a boisterous scallywag who accompanies John Boles into the jungle interior. Boles is the man who carried the message to Garcia, and Barbara Stanwyck shows them the way. There are thrills, hardship and romance all cleverly woven together in this fine 20th century production. King’s Theatre. Columbia’s “Meet Nero Wolfe,” starring Edward Arnold, with Lionel Stander, Victor Joy, Joan Perry and John Qualen in support, will show at the King’s Theatre to-night and on Monday. The film is an entertaining mystery drama based on the famed Rex Stout detective character, Nero Wolfe. Thrills a-plenty are found in the film, which tells of the efforts of Wolfe to clear the shroud of mystery that surounds the murder of Professor Barstow on the golf course of a prominent country club. On the same programme is “Heir To Trouble,” a Western thriller starring Ken Maynard. This action-drama carries the the audience with it to realms of cowboys and back-counfry.
