POPULAR APPEAL PROGRAMME.

TOP-FLIGHT FILMS AT KING'S. "Maisie," a film which finds instant appeal with everyone for its whimsical, human comedy, and "Everybody Sing," a better-class musical picture, will be seen on a double bill programme to be shown finally at the King's Theatre, Stratford, to-night. "My Little Chickadee," starring Mae West, W. C. Fields, Joseph Calleia, Dick Foran and Anne Nagel, will head a double bill opening at the King's Theatre at 1.30 and 7.45 p.m. to-morrow. Mae's back in a lusty farce of the frontier days in the bad old West in "My Little Chickadee." Every scene is a sensation, every line a laugh, when Mae, the "Curvaceous Cutie," captivates "Bibulous Bill' of the bulbous beak. In this laugh tornado she is just as dazzling blonde, no less inviting, and even more hip-swaying than ever she was. The hilaiious Higginses are ^ up to new anlics in "Money to Burn," Republic's latest offering in the Higgms Family series starring the Gleason.s, Lucile, James and Russell, which will be the second film. It deals with new Higgins family difficulties, generated by the irrepressible Mrs. Higgins. Higgins, a hardworking executive in an advertising agency, deplores his wifc s fanatical interest in prize contests of all sorts. He deplores it so much that he deplores himself right into a weil-paid job as account executive on a dog biscuit account featuring a gigantic prize contest.
