AMUSEMENTS.

Plaza Theatre. “FLYING HOSTESS.” A picture that everybody will want to see at the Plaza Theatre, Stratford. to-night, is Univertal’s "Flying Hostess,” a screen play that dramatises the lives of the fearless men and women who operate America’s huge air-liners, 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 A.ndy 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 yill be shown at the King’s Theatre to-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-lynchings 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 screeri career, George Burns and Gracie 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 Skipwoi<h. The story tells of an auto trip across the country made by Ruggles and Miss Boiand. To help pay expenses they take with them Burns 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.
