King’s Theatre.

“Girl Overboard” Thrilling, heart pulsing drama shows at the King's Theatre, Stratford, ‘to-night, with screening of Universal's fast moving story of fire 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 lite itself —for the man she loves. "Girl Overboard!” will thrill you with its sweeping action, haunting drama and tender love 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 fire scenes ever filmed. 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 kUler—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!” “Trail Dust” The eighth in the popular “Hopalong Cassidy” series of Paramount Western pictures, "Trail Dust,” which come to the King’ on Tuesday and Wednesday. William Boyd to the local screen in another of the thrilling, hard-riding, straight-shooting roles which have made of him one of the most popular and beloved characters in "Western” movies. In his latest adventure, in which he is assisted by his friend Johnny Nelson, played by Jimmy Ellison, and the verbose “Windy” created by George Hayes, Boyd faces not only the natural perils of a drought-ridden trail, over which he must move a herd of cattle, but also man-made dangers in the form of treachery, avarice and greed.
