The glorious romance of "Rebecca Of Sunnybrook Farm," as vivified In the Fox production featuring Marian Nixon and Ralph Bellamy, is coming to the King's Theatre on Sunday. The choice of dainty, appealing Misa Nixon and tall, handsome Bellamy to enact the leading roles in this important picture came, it is said, as roward for aplondid work in recent successes,
Miss Nixon, it will be recalled, scured Individually opposite Charles Farroll in "After To-morrow," then repented her success in her brillant performance with Warner Baxter in Amateur Daddy." Bellamy, who until now has had the up-hill struggle of establishing himself in unsym pathetic, or "heavy" roles, was given. the romantic part of Dr. Adam Ladd beenuse of the capable manner in which he portrayed the German officer in "Surrender," his important charac ter study of the Juvenile Court Judge in "Young American," and of the incorruptiblo police captain in "Dia crderly Conduct.”
an
Lavishness of production in both locale and settings is promised in the current version of the Kate Douginn Wiggin and Charlotte Thompson masterpiece. It was filmed specially reconstructed Sunnybrook Farm, near Santa Cruz, California, with the reproduction of a New Eng land blizzard in which the dramatic climax occurs.
Briefly, the film story recounts the mala nilventures of Rebecca, as im- mortalized in the book, revolving around her intense desire to win the regard of her spinster aunts; hor in- terest in obtaining a wedding ring for the unwed mother of Jack-O-Lantern, and her romance with Dr. Adam Ladd, Mae Marsh, an Aunt Jane, and Louise Closter Hale, as Aunt Miranda, por try the aged apinster aunts of Re- becca.
Amusing Comedy at Queen's.
For alcer fun, few comedies of the current Reason excel the hilarity of "Cracked Nuts," now showing at the Queen's Theatre.
Based on a ludicrously funny aitun- fion, the picture curries its two starH, Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, through an amazing series of comle and thrilling situationa.
The story is laid in a mythical kingdom whose subjects are almost |evenly divided between depoaed kings and menacing executioners. Its most important monuments are tombstones dedicated to the memories of beheaded rulers.
Into this chaotic country come- Wheeler and Woolsey with the inten tion of usurping the vacated crown. They dodge executioners, stage thrill- |ing battles with tanks and aeroplanes, ing battles with lanka and neroplanes, hiro executioners galore and finally come to the conclusion that Chicago is a tame spot in comparison,
The alary is an original by that must master of comedy acting Douglas Mucleun, in collaboration with AI Boasberg.
“Love Me To-night."
Hollywood put a horse under con- tract to toss Maurice Chevalier from his back In "Love Me To-night," now showing at the King's Theatre. The sequence shows a hunt at a country cutato. Maurice, in the role of

"The Happy Ending."
For the "shipwreck" scenes of "The Happy Ending," the next attraction at the Queen's and Ian Hay's popular atory, Millard Webb had the privilege of using a giant Cunarder.
Over four hundred extras took part In the scone, to enact a panic-stricken mob of passengers, clamouring to be Anved from the sinking liner and fill- ing in overflowing the bontà.
The big thrill of the night was when one of the boats fouled its davits, and tilting at a terrible angle, threw its humun cargo into the water. With remarkable good fortune, only four minor casualties occurred although there were some ugly moments, At one time n man, his leg caught in the rigging of the capsized boat, Was pinned under water.
This scene is particularly thrilling in the film, being the highlight of an engrossingly human story of sacrifice.
"Night World."
The horrible monster who thrilled and chilled the World in "Trankena- tein" is back on the screen. But this time it is without the spectacular makeup that Boris Karloff captures audiences at the Central Theatre in "Night World" a Universal produc tion. He plays the part of "Happy" MacDonald a Cabaret proprietor, and playa it in his usual polished munnor. "Night World" stars Lew Ayres and Mac Clarke and is different to the kind of screen entertainment we have been having here for sometime.
"Travelling Husbands"

"Travelling husbands” achieves an in- timacy, * distinctive humour, 搞 whizzing pace, that atrikes a new high note in flim entertainment. Evelyn Brent heads the cast, and is supported Frank Albertson, Con- starco Cummings, Hugh Herbert, Stanley Fields and Frank McHugh. It is not often that screen fare of "Travelling Husbands" calibre is offered.
