1. DEMENTEL GOING TO SYRIA
Another Edgar Wallace mystory-
Paris, July 13. thriller is announced for showing at The Council of Ministers hus the King's Theatro to-day, "The Old appointed M, Dementol, Ambas- Man," as it is entitled, is an adapta-sador to Tokyo at present, as High tion of the Wyndham's Theatre, Lon- don, succosa. It was made under the direction of Manning Haynes at the British Lion Studios.
The keynote of this talkle Is Ita mystery, of course, yet that is not alff There is also the inimitable Malalo 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 hu willing to relinquish his independence for the added material comforta ho gains, or doca ho become smothered under it all? Ning times out of ten, the craving for independence is stronger than the desire for posses- sions but very often the temptation is strong to get a taste of how the other halt lives.
In "Platinum Blonde," the sophle- ticated Columbia comedy-drama show- ing next week at the Queen's Theatre, Robert Williants, a carefree, careless reporter, marries a beautiful heiress who has fallen in love with him be- 'cause he is so different from the men
in her net. Immediately, she
goes about patterning Williams after the polished fashion-plates she escaped when she married him. And · Wil- Jams, who never wore a pair of garters before he was married, and revelled in the informal life, of the "fourth estate," doesn't like the pink" tens, the stiff receptions, his stuff valet and his stiff shirt. What does he do?
"The Roadhouse Murder”.
Reversing all conventional methods of plot development, "The Roadhous Murder," will be screened де the Oriental Theatre for the last time to dny. 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 identily of the killers., This information is shared with the nudience and there is never any mystery as to who actually committed the crime.
The film's amazing story complien- tions result from the hero's weird plan of assuming the guilt for the murders and the element of suspense centres about the uncertainty of his fate, When the evidence that menna the hero's safety disappears, the suspens reachen a tensity which never relaxes until the final fade-out,
Linden plays the part of an nd- venturous young reporter on a New York newspaper and Miss Jordan has the role of the girl who shares his thrilling adventures.
"White Zombie"
on
"White Zombie" will have its premiere at the King's theatre Saturday,
Bela Lugosi, who sprang into prominence with his creation of Count Dracula in "Dracula," has the prin. cipal role.
The settings and photography are among the best ever done for the screen. They include a castle la the Haitian mountains which is one of the largest of its kind in the history of motion pictures. This, with the tropical scchery of Halti, makes an unusually striking background for this weird story.

Jones," opened yesterday at the Central Theatre. This brilliant young actor, who heretofore has been seen in metropolitan roles, dons the olive drab of an American doughboy and give us an entirely new type of war drama, making "Bill Jones" the rebellious xoldier, live as no sereen soldier has ever lived before in motion plctures.
"he plot a new and well woven. The characters are human, and the acting is superb, probably because the cant is of the first order, Tracy with his dynamic personality and ready flow of crackling dialogue deserves frst mention. It is easily his beat! yet.
