Another Edgar Wallace mystory- thrillor is announced for showing at the King's Theatro to-day. "The Old Man," as it is entitled, is an adapta- tion of the Wyndham's Theatre, Lon- don, success. It was mado under the direction of Manning Haynes at tha British Lion Studios.
The keynote of this talkio is its mystery, of course, yet that is not all! There is also the, inimitable Malale Gay, In the role of an old char-woman, who provides the neces sary spice of humour.
"Platinum Blonde"
What happens when a "free soul" is trapped in a gilded cage? Is he willing to relinquish bis independence for the added interiel comforts ho gains, or does he become smothered under it all? Nine times out of ten, the craving for independence in stronger than the desire for pouses. slona but very often the tompletion is strong to get a taste of how the other halt lives.
In "Platinum Blonde," the sophis ticated Columbia comedy-drama show- ing next week at the Queen's Theatre, Robert Willlants, a carefree, careleas reporter, marries a beautiful heiress who has fallen in love with him be- cause he is so different from the men in her set. Immediately, she goes About patterning Williams after the polished fashion-plates she escaped when she married him. And WI- liama, who never wore a pair of Karters before he was married, and revelled in the informal life of tho "fourth estate," doesn't like the pink tens, the stiff receptions, his stiff valet and his stiff shirt. What does he do?
"The Roadhouse Murder" Reversing all conventional methods of plot development, The Roadhouse Murder," will be screened at the Oriental Theatre for the last time to day. It gives a startling new treat- ment of the ever popular mystery theme.
The central characters blunder upon a double murder in a desolate country. roadhouse and discover the identity of the killers. This information is shared with the audience and there is never any mystery as to who actually committed the crime.
The Alm's amazing story complica- tions result from the hero's weird plan of assuming the guilt for the murders and the element of ruspense centres about the uncertainty of his fate. When the evidence that means the here's safety disappears, the suspense reaches a tensity which never relaxes until the final fade-out.
Linden plays the part of an ad- venturous young reporter on a New. York newspaper and Miss Jordan has the role of the girl who shares his thrilling adventures.
"White Zombie"
Zombie" will have ita at the King's theatre
on
"White premiere Saturday.
Bela Lugosi, who sprang into prominence with his creation of Count Dracula in "Draoula," has the prin- cipal role.
The settings
and photography are among the best ever done for the screen. They include a castle in the Haitian mountains which is one of the largest of its kind in the history of motion pictures. This, with the tropical scenery of Haiti, makes an unusually striking background for this weird story,

Jones," opened yesterday at tho Central Theatre. This brilliant young actor, who heretofore has been scon in. metropolitan roles, dons the olivo: drab of an American doughboy and give us an entirely new type of war drama, making "Bill Jones" the rebellious soldier, live as no screen soller lins ever lived before in motion pictures.
The plot is now and well woven, The characters are human, and the acting is superb, probably because the cast is of the first order. Tracy withį his dynamic personality and rendy flow of crackling dialogue deserves first mention. It is easily his best yet.
