"WHERE GEORGE?”
"Where's George?" which is now showing at the King's Theatre, is much more than a Sydney Howard comedy. It has all the uproarious situations and the neat gags 36- sociated with Howard's work, but In addition it gives the Yorkshire comedian the opportunity of play- ing a definite character.

THE STORY OF LOUIS PASTEUR
Warner Bros. have made a truly great picture. It stands among the "significant works of the screen. Told in such fas- hion as to grip every audience it will reach, "The Story of Louis › Pasteur' is headed for big acciaion. Profoundly stirring "as sheer drama, it will widen the range of picture venturings. -Muni is superb. Seldom has a picture preview shown so strong- ly shared interest of men and women. Men were "openly in tears of emotional response, throughout the audience."
