THRILLER AT KING'S
With Claude Rains
We have had the pleasure ol seeing in the past many a good mystery drama, but "The Mystery
of Edwin Drood" which had its
initial showings yesterday at the King's Theatre is hard to beat,
For sheer thrills and excitement this picture stands by irsell. There is a plot very well conceived throughout but for me to tell the story would be giving away the secret which was very zealously guarded by the Universal Execu- tives in their production.
"THE QUEEN'S
Age Of Indiscretion
A new Paul Lukas is seen in the "Age of Indiscretion" which open- ed at the Queen's Theatre yester- day and which brings this popular star in the role of a blindly de- voted husband whose life is nearly wrecked by a faithless wife, a part ably played by none other than pretty Helen Vinson.
Special mention must be made, however, of Madge Evans, a popu- lar favourite with local cinema fans. She plays the part of a

adores Lukas and it is really touching to see the way she tries to stifle that affection as she realises that Lukas considers himself morally bound to his wife, though he knows full:
In between the scenes are fe- like reproductions of spectacles and structures of the Mid Vic-well that she is of the "fickie torian 'era. These are all authen- de in every detail.
The cast is well chosen and
properly suited to their respective roles. Claude Rains and Douglas Montgomery are the leading stars "and the others are Heather Angel, David Manners, Valerie Hobron, Francis L. Sullivan, Forrester Harvey, E. E. Clive, Zeffle Tibbury and Walter Kingsford.

Those who saw Paul Lukas in "Little Women" will not easily forget the display he gave in that' memorable picture. In recom- mending his current vehicle, let it be sufficient to say that he has excelled himself and that "Age of Indiscretion" is definitely one "of those pictures, which should on no account be missed.
