exciting. Dix appears to be very nimble on his feet but is hardly ni good a boxer as "Reilly" is supposed to be! The fiqul fight in which he knocks out the heavy- weight champion' after a gruelling time is particularly well stagedi
Pretty Mary Brian is the heroine for whom Mr. Dix risks his beauty and she acts very well throughout. This actress is always attractive to watch because she seems genuine and lives her parts so well. Tho rest of the cast has been well chosen, and the sparring partners of both hero and villain, look as it they had spent their lives in the profession, as possibly they have, Richard Dix has
attractive personality and the part of the rather shy young Reilly suits him well The aim is well made and should be particularly pleasing to boxing enthusiasts,
Lä
"The Lady Of Victories." "Knockout Reilly" is preceded by second technicolour historical Slm called The Lady of Victories" which tells an episode, in the lives of Napoleon and Josephine. It is very well staged and the colour effects are as good us those of
The Virgin Queen."
