AMUSEMENTS.

Plaza Theatre. “FLYING HOSTESS.” A picture that everybody will want to see at the Plaza Theatre, Stratford, to-nigbt and to-morrow is Univer“Flying Hostess,” a screen play that dramatises the lives of the fearless men and women who operate America’s huge air-lUiers, with emphasis on the girls who ride the big passenger planes as the white angels of the Skies. It is the story of a girl who wanted more than anything else in the world to become an air hostess because she said, “It is the grandest position a girl can have —facing danger unafraid, passing on that confidence to others.” Judith Barrett, William Hall, William Gargan, Astrid Allwyn, the comical Andy Devine. Ella Logan, the radio*star, Addison Randall, and Maria Shelton are all in the cast.

King’s Theatre. “SIX OF A KIND” AND “ARIZONA RAIDERS.” Larry Crabbe rides, shoots and swims his way through a thrill-packed yarn of cattle-thieving and adventure in the Zane Grey film “The Arizona Raiders,” a Paramount picture which will be shown at the Stratford King’s Theatre to-night and to-morrow night. Crabbe is teamed with Marsha Hunt. Unique in a number of ways, “Arizona Raiders” presents its thrills in double-barrelled doses. There are two romances: two near-lynchlngs and two stampedes worked into the plot, each as exciting as the other. In addition. a novel twist is given the story by a sequence in which Miss Hunt, as a ranch owner, is forced to “steal” her own herd of horses to save them. For the first, time in their screen career, George Burns and Grade Allen have roles that run all through the picture in Paramount’s “Six of a Kind.” the second attraction. They are featured with Charlie Ruggles, Mary Boland, W. C. Fields, and Alison Skipworth. The story tells of an auto trip across the country made by Ruggles and Miss Boland. To help pay expenses they take with them Burna and Miss Allen, with their Great Dane dog. A fellow clerk in the bank steals 50,000 dollars, and suspicion falls on Ruggles, who has gone away and who. through a switch in travelling cases really has the money with him. although he does not know it.
