AMUSEMENTS.

Plaza Theatre. “Bride Walks Out” Coming to the screen in a new kind of role into which she ably dovetails her extensive ran>g e of talents, Barbara Stanwyck is starred in “The Bride Walks Out,” a gay and breezy romantic comedy, in. which she is seen with two of the screen’s foremost leading men, Gene Raymond l and Robert Young, it will screen at the Pdaze Theatre to-night. Miss Stanwyck’s bow in a comedy of the type of “The Bride Walks Out, ’ is furthered by the appearance of Ned Sparks and Helen Broderick, who contribute pungent humour. This quintet is involved in a romantic entanglement which makes for some of th e screen’s gayest comedy, according to preview critics. A moment after Raymond and Miss Stanwyck are married, the bridegroom is arrested for violating the peace and the bride is pursued' by a million'ajre man-about-town. Robert Young, who can provide the luxuries of life the lady cannot extract from her husband’s thirty-five per week. Young’s intervention comes to a head, with Barbara planning to get a divorce. Raymond undertakes l a hazardous surveying position in South America, of which Miss Roderick learns through her husband, Igparks, who is Raymond's business buddy. A mad and merry in-the„nick-oil-time pursuit from Young’s swank Long Island estate to the s t earner pier from which Raymond’s boat is departing satisfactorily ends this devil_may-car e comedy.

King’s Theatre. “Trail Dust” The eighth in the popular “Hopalong Cassidy” series of Paramount Western pictures, “Trail Dust,” which will show at the King's Theatre tonight, William Boydi 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 vei'bose “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.
