"PUBLIC ENEMY'S
WIFE"
No more dramatic thrills ever were shown in a picture embracing the activities of G-Men than in
the Warner Bros. production, "Public Enemy's Wife," which is the current feature at the King's Theatre.
Yet the picture has a unique and unusual flavour, as in addition to the exciting episodes there is a fascinating romance between the ace G-Man and the woman in the title role. the wife of a pubiic enemy.
There is an unusually talented cast, which includes Pat O'Brien, Margaret Lindsay, Robert Arm- strong. Cesar Romero, Dick Foran. Joseph King. Richard Purcell and Addison Richards.

With a few notable exceptions,. Major Douglas sald, the world's Press had no freedom to discuss this question except from the Bide of those who profited from finance. While the personnel of the Press and of publicity was honest, kind- tv humane and pleasant, the Press, as an institution, was one of the greatest anti-social forces in the world in regard to that mat- tex...
