WHITE HUNTER
A man and a woman trying to hate while Aerce longing flames in their hearts is the thrilling theme of Twentieth Century-Fox'a amax- ing drama of savage passiona, "White Hunter," which has its run at the Queen's Theatre to-day.
Warner Baxter and June Lang. who created such a sensation in "The Road to Glory" are brilliantly cast in a drama even stranger, a romance even greater, the most stirring adventure a man and wo- man ever shared.
Assisting the star is an excellent and impressive cast beaded by Gall Patrick, Allsen Skipworth, Wilfrid Lawson, and George Hassell
Baxter is seen as a colourful hunter who accepts a commission to guide a big game expedition through a strangely wild country.. Included in the party are Wilfrid Lawson, a powerful munition magnate, Gail Patrick, his way- ward wife, and lovely June Lang his daughter by a former marri- age, Alison Skipworth a shrewish hypochondriac and George Hassell her hen-pecked spouse.
LOVE LETTERS OF A STAR
Suspense, mystery and excite- ment mark the theme of the thrill- ing Universal picture, "Love Letters of a Star," which has its run at the Alhambra Theatre, to-day. The offering is based on a Crime Club novel that first ran in the Cosmo- politan Magazine under the title, "Case of the Constant God." It was written by the master of detec- tive fiction, Rufus King."
The narrative reveals what happens in the lives of a wealthy family when the schemes of a blackmaller almost destroy their happiness. The conniving leech is killed under circumstances which throw suspicion on the victims of his plot, since one of the daughters has been driven to suicide by his threats. The marriage of another daughter is almost ruined by fur- ther blackmail.
Brilliant detective work, some of the keenest ever presented on the screen, is developed in the offering, leading to a surprise climax of dramatic force." The ablation of the mystery is kept hidden until the end of the Alm.
