“The Poor Little Rich Girl," starring Shirley Temple, opens in the palatial mansion of Michael Whalen, father of the little miss. Shirley has no mother but her father has provided a veritable .regiment of aides.-de-camp whose sole duties are to look after her.

If Shirley dares to sneeze —off she must go to bed while a doctor 18 called to prescribe for her “alarming cold.” Shirley, ae you can imagine, is none too pleased with this state of affairs and persuades her father to send her to boarding school. While waiting for the train, Shirley slips' away from her nurse, Sara Haden, and wanders along the street playing a game of make-believe. Miss Haden, in the meantime, is the victim of an accident, and during the following days in which Shirley seeks adventure, the little girl is not missed by her father.

A touching series of events fins’ culminates iu Shirley being adopted by a pair of aspiring radio entertainers, Alice Faye and Jack Haley. Miss Faye realises That' Shirley it no “orphan” as she has told them, but Haley recognises Shirley’s talents' as just what the act needs. The team is a knock-out in its audition and is hired by Claude Gillingwater—the strongest business rival of Shirley’s father! How Shirley brings success to Haley and Miss Faye, romance to hetdaddy and Gloria Stuart and happinessl to crabby Claude Gillingwiater makes her most human and heartwarming story.

“End of the Trail.

A stirring picturisation of tile historic hundred days’ war against Spain, culminating in the famous charge of Teddy Roosevelt’s Rough Riders up the San Juan Hill, will be seen in Columbia’s “End of the Trail,” starring Jack Holt, when it shows at the King’s Theatre for the last time to-night. “End of the Trail” was adapted to the screen by Harold Shumate from Zane Grey's story “Outlaws of Palouse,” which is considered one of the finest novels ever written by this famed American author.

The story, essentially ,is that of two friendly enemies in a small western cow-town who answer the call to colours in the war with Spain. Dale Brittenham, played by Holt, saves the life of Bob Hildreth, played by Guinn Williams, and loses the sight of one eye. They meet Louise Henry, as Belle, a Red Cross nurse, and their rivalry is intensified. They are both ■in love with the same girl. When they return from Cuba Hildreth is made Sheriff and Brittenham, unable to get a job, follows a questionable vo-' cation but becomes very rich. With the i girl between them and the two former 'buddies in arms on opposite sides of ithe law, “End of the Trail” develops into an intensely dramatic story that moves swiftly and thrillingly to a surprise climax.
