"THE BRAT."
Stronger than ardent desiros for Rolls-Royces and pink stucco palaces with swimming pools is one fond hope, foremost in the mind of every film player. That hope is that sorgo day, somehow, someway he or she will get a "break."
A "break" in the language of} Hollywood, means an opportunity, a role so well suited to the player's personality that famo and long- term contracts will follow, AB 2 matter of course,
Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell found their "break" in the memor- able "7th Heaven"; Marle Dressler in "Anna Christie"; Constance Bennett in "Common Clay,"
The most recent addition to these exalted ranks is Sally O'Neil, who plays the title role in "The Brat," which is showing to-day at the King's Theatre.
The Fox Film Corporation was searching for an actress to enact the title role in "The Brat." When Miss O'Neil'arrived for a test, there was no further discussion. She seemed perfectly fitted for the role, and the test confirmed it. The ple- ture was made, and when studio: executives sAW the finished print MR. ST. OUEN, Miss O'Neil was handed a long-torm

"LADIES OF LEISURE.”
"Ladies of Leisure," the Columbia all-talking drama of New York night life with Barbara Stanwyck,j Lowell Sherman, and Ralph Graves, is now at the Central Theatre.
The story is not a complex onė. It proves the theory that a woman is what a man chooses to make of her. A girl of the streets will be- como a lady if she is treated as one. "Ladies of Leisure" dramatises this fact in the case of an idealist artist and a gold-digging party girl.
What makes this picture really one of the prizes of the season is. the superlative acting of the entire: cost. Seldom has there been An opportuntly to see assembled in ons: fim a cast of this calibre. It in-1 eludes in addition to the three stars mentioned above-Marie Prevost,
