Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer-Cosmopolitan picture "Operator 13" which is at the Queen's Theatre, Miss Davies ap- pears as Gail Loveless, a lovely Union spy who is sent into the South to seek and slay the Con- federacy's most valuable scout and spy, Captain Jack Gailliard.
Gary Cooper "plays the role of Gailliard and the love compli- cations that spring up between these two enemy sples provides one of the most romantic stories to reach the motion picture screen
With the Civil War as the co- lourful background, "Operator 13" based upon Robert W. Chamber's last and greatest novel-is crammed with interesting sidelights upon one of the least known phases of the rebellion, the espionage sys- tems of the armies of the North and South.
Richard Boleslavsky, directed this picture, which may be called bis finest thus far.

"The Riding Tornado" the new Tim McCoy western for Columbia. which will be shown at the Alham- bra to-morrow, resembles a tor- nado in every respect so far as whirlwind excitement is concerned. Tim McCoy, as Tim Torrant, the bronco bustin' champ, blows into town and leaves a trail of thrills in his path. What excitement as he "breaks" a horse that had killed three men, who had attempted to ride him! What daredevilry as he rounds up a dangerous band of horse thleves! That romance as he wins the beautiful Patay Olcotti Tim McCoyrides you headlong into thrills at -pace-fat will make you gasp.

One of Hollywood's fabled feuds between screen players was blast ed as a fallacy during the filming of "No More Women," the Para- mount picture, now playing at the King's Theatre, when Edmund Lowe and Victor McLaglen each declared the "other to be a “swell guy.".
The two have fought many screeń battles They have suffer- ed real knockout blows, split lips and blacked eyes from each other's fists.
And now, co-string for the Afth time in seven years, Lowe and McLaglen are cast as rival deep-sea divers in "No More Women," and their screen conflict goes on no less strenuously.
