“Girl Overboard” Thrilling, heart pulsing drama shows at the King’s Theatre, Stratford, to-night, with screening of Universal’s fast moving story of Are at sea, “Girl Overboard!” With Gloria Stuart and Walter Pidgeon in the leading roles, “Girl Overboard!” tells the gripping story of a hunted woman who stakes everything—even life itself —for the man she loves. “Girl Overboard!” will thrill you with its sweeping action, haunting drama and tender Tove story. Beautiful blonde Miss Stuart plays the role of a girl who flees from a too persistent suitor —later to be enmeshed in the net of the law and accused of the man’s murder. Walter Pidgeon plays the District Attorney who is expected to prosecute the woman he loves. - Highlighting this, unusual screen offering are some of the most amazing and realistic ship Are scenes ever Aimed. In the inferno of this burning ship Gloria sees destroyed the only proof of her innocence of murder. Flames reach out and consume the written confession of the real killer—. leaving Gloria a fugitive from justice. Besides Miss Stuart and Pidgeon, the cast includes such favourites as Billy Burrud; Hobart Cavanaugh, Gerald Oliver Smith, Jack Smart, David Oliver and Charlotte Wynters. If you like realism, drama, swift action—then don’t miss “Girl Overboard ! ”
