"DEATH ON THE DIAMOND"
QUEEN'S THEATRE ⠀
Robert Young and Madge Evans are starred In Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer's sensational baseball mya- tery, "Death on the Diamond", "now at the Queen's Theatre, together with the appearance of the Rhap- Body Girls Revue V
Based on the original by Cort land Fitzsimmons, author of 70,000 Witnesses," "Death on the Diamond" deals with mysterious murders which occur during a❘ World Series. Its thrills are blend- ed with comedy supplied by Nat Pendleton, Ted Helay, Edward Brophy and Mickey Rooney.
Robert Young plays the leading masculine role, that of the de- bonair young baseball pitcher, and Madge Evans is paired with him. Both give splendid performances. David Landau plays her father, manager of the team of the Cardinals; C. Henry Gordon is the arch gambler and Paul Kelly, the alert reporter who helps to solve the mystery.
In addition to the hotable cast, many professional baseball players including Pat Flaherty, Dick Cox, Ivan Olsen, Ping,Bodie, Red Borger and Bob and Irish Mousel are seen in action:

THE NEW INHALANT REMEDY
FOR COUGHS, SORE THROAT, AND COLDS.
Respiroids provide a highly affective, rapidly curative treatment for coughs, sore throat, colds and bronchial troubles generally.
As Respiroid lozengen slowly dissolve in the mouth you breathe- in-the-cure, for they release delightfully aromatic medicinal essences and vapours which penetrate the nasal and bronchial' passages, and go right down into the remotest arts of the lungs, in this way break- ing up phlegm and soothing and healing all inflamed parts.
You can carry Respirolds in your pocket ready for use anywhere and at all times, which is another great advantage over the old-fash- loned liquid remedies requiring" a bulky bottle and a spoonA ZA
