THE THEATRES
Back in nineties, Arizona was an exelting spot to live in, with the notorious Apache Kid and his ilk, making life interesting for the travel- lor on stage or horseback. To-day the outlaw and the bandit have gone, and the aeroplane and the automobile have replaced the stage-coach-with a con- siderable lessening of romance.
Something of this adventurous by gone era is recaptured in O. Henry's Tho Cisco Kid," picturesque Fox romance now playing at the King's Theatro, and its authentic atmosphere of the Old Southwest is perhaps farge- ly responsible for the unusual atten- tion the picture is receiving.
With Warner Baxter as the Cisco Kid, a gay and reckless border rascal, Edmund Lowo as a cavalry sergeant bent on winning the reward on the Kid's head, and Conchita Montenegro as the Mexican dancer who intrigues both men but loves only one. The film le crammed with action and surprises as well as with a dual love-story In which Nora Lane as a courageous pioneer woman plays an important part.
Irving Cummings directed this colourful offering, and the support- ing cast includes Charlie Stevens, Frederick Burt, Willard Robertson, James Bradbury, Jr. and Chris Martin,
"Congress Dances"
"Congresa Dances" the Ufa operetta satiro with a large cast and brilliant artists is having its final run at the Central Theatro to-day.
Played against background of Vienna of 1814, the story deals with the romance of the Czar of Russia who forgets all about Congress and matter of state when he fall in love with a glove-shop girl, Christel. How their beautiful idyll in Interrupted when Napoleon escape from
the Island of Elba, leads up to the dramatic climax of the picture.
Lillian Harvey is seen in the lead- ing role, as the charming, mischievous and captivating Christeliss Harvey being a very popular star in both England and Europe. Henry Garat In seen as the Czar, Conrad Viedt as Prince Metternich and Lil Dagover, in featured role as Countess,

"Hell Below"
Uncle Sam's navy may be describ- ed as the unpublicized star of "Hell Below," Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's dynamic talkio drama of submarine adventure which opens to-morrow at the Queen's, following its long run at the Astor Theatre in New York City. For without the active co- operation of the naval department, filming of this picture could scarcely have been undertaken at áll,
The picture was adapted from Com- mander Edward Ellsberg's story, "Pigboats," and its all-star cast in cludes Robert Montgomery, Walter Huston, Madgo Evans, Jimmy Durante, Eugene Pallette and Robert Young, under the direction of Jack
Conway. For, 15 days the actors in "Hell Below coached by regular_navy. men, manned torpedo tubes, worked controls and literally lived under the water at the submarine base ut Pearl Harbour, Honolulu.
Cameras from portholes of sub- merged submarines photographed action-thanks to special underwater lights and lensds, and the fact that Hawaiian waters are so remarkably clear. In the picture one sees a big submerged submarino heading right for the camera-aces it blow off, dive, pump out the tanks and rise again. Ono sces dopth bomba boing hurled by "Y-Guna" as they lay at pattern under water. One sees them explode, making great globuloa as the water is displaced, and the submarine rushes through thems, in desperata race to escape their torrifié concussion. Anti-aircraft guns, operating against diving attack planes are shown in another thrilling scene, Then Д bomber appears on the horizon. The submarine dives, and the camera follows the dive down below the surface.
"The Old Man"
"The Old Man," the latest Wallace thriller, adapted from the Wyndham's. Theatre success, is a mystery talkie- that keeps its secret right to the end. It tells of a mysterious character who appears to spend his time in replacing stolen property in the Ar ranway's mansion-of an apparently 'flirtatious wife-and of a blackmailer. who, if he does not meet the end he deserves is at least satisfactorily dis- posed of before the conclusion.
This, of course, is all vary dramatic and, as too much drama may cause. mental-indigestion, the producers have cast Maislo Gay in the role of a garrulous and kind-hearted char- woman. That this results in much hilarious comedy is a forogone con clusion, and, Itself, should be a big attraction to picturegoers:
Anny Groy, Ceoil Humphries, D. A¡ Clarke-Smith and Lostor Matthews,. in the more dramatic parts, ably support Miss Gay, while Diana Beaumont plays the part of a very attractive mald.
"The Old Man" opens at the King's Theatre on Thursday.
"She Done, Him Wrong" "She Done Him Wrong" talls the vivid story of the Bowery, with Miss Wost as the lady known as Lou, who sings for her diamonds at Jordan's diamond palace: Bho sings "Frankis Land Johnnie"Las-it's never been aut
