“There’s Always To-morrow”

Binnie Barnes, showing at the King’s finally at to-nightrs sessions, with F. Morgan, in “There’s Always To-morrow,” will be best rememibered for her work in “The Private Life of Henry VIII.” She was born in Caledonia Market, London, on March 26, 1907. She was in turn a milkmaid, a trained nurse, a dancer, and a rope-spinner a la Will Rogers. She was called “Texas” Binnie Barnes on the English stage. She is under a long-term contract to Universal and has already made her second picture for that firm, “What Ladies Dream.”

“Princess O’Hara.” One of the most exciting film dramas of the year is Damon Runyon’s “Princess O’Hara,” a Universal picture showing at the King’s to-night for the last time. A sparkling cast, headed by Jean Parker and Chester Morris, brings this film all the way into the home stretch a winner. It is the story of how a poor little Irish lass becomes involved in the theft of a famous racehorse and how she almost comes to grief over it. Vic Toledo, who owns a string of taxi-cabs and a stable of horses on the side, does not realise he is in love with the little Princess until they take her to gaol. He breaks with his society girl friend, whose horse it was that was stolen, because she insists on prosecuting the “Princess” O’Hara for the theft.

“White Death.” Filmed in glorious sun-kissed settings, Australia’s first romantic comedy drama, showing at the King’s to-morrow and on Friday, is different, delightfully different—screen. entertainment. “White Death” is a giant, man-eating white shark which has struck terror into the hearts of the. natives and has been responsible for many deaths, including those of the wife and son of a missionary stationed at Hayman Island. Zane Grey, Who appears at “himself” in the film, is commissioned to catch this scavenger of the deep, and after catching several other sharks and a swordfish, the great author-fisherman finally hooks the “White Death.” Playing the leading comedy role opposite Zane Grey is Alfred Frith, famous Australian stage comedian. Others in the cast include Nola Warren and John Weston.
