THE THEATRES
Ronald Colman in "The Masquera- der" comes to the King's Theatre on
Sunday as the last and final effort of a series of brilliant screan triumphs that began in company with Lilllan Gish in "Brau Geste," "Stella Dallas.” "Dark Angel," "Bulldog Drummond" and "Arrowmith." After "The bias-
qnerador, there won't be another Colman picture for a long time, ̧ne- cording to report. Ronald has gone to the Aegean to spend the summer, the Hollendo waters far from thought of Hollywood and the fims. There is a history to the thrill and the heart throb of "The Masquerader." Years ago, it was one of the meat popular novels ever published, running into bundreds of thousands of copies in America and in England. And now Howard Estabrook has brought the famous melodrama up to the minute. Ronald Colman in its dual roles in concerned with the great problems of England to-day-unemployment, IA- bour throubles, atrikes and crises. It is a strango human of two men so closely resembling each other that a woman is unable to rocognize hor-husband in her lover and is unable to accept as her husband the man she loved and married. With Colman in life dual roles aro Elissa Landi, most recently seen in "The Sign of the Cross", and Julietto Comp. ton.. Richard Wallace directed the picture for Samuel Goldwyn.
"Kongo"
When Walter Huston Introduced his role of "Deadlegs" Flint in "Kongo" to the New York atago he proved himself one of the most powerful character artists of the current foot- light generation. Already he has proved himself similarly on the screen, but in bringing his famous role in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer'a screen pro- duction of "Kongo" commencing to day at the Queen's, he adds to his hours. For practically the entire length of this weird drama Flint propels himself around in a wheel. chair. And yet the role is sa forceful, so dominating, as to overshadow ing else in the drama. There everything are tense scenes in this film,
further intensified by the constant throb of the war drums signalling,
hatred the of the black tribes over which Huston, as Flint, rules with his tricks voodoo magic. William C. Cowen di rected the production, which contains lavish scenes of savage rites in the 'jungle country and some photographic effects that are both startling and brilliant.
"Trick For Trick"
ΟΣ
The new aim at the King's Theatre to-day Is "Trick For Trick"," the mystery melodrama from Fox, with Ralph Morgan and Victor Jory in the principal roles of two rival magicians. The film, directed by Hamilton Mac- Fadder is an adaptation by Howard Green of the
successful stage LAKU play by Vivian Cosby, Shirley Wartle and Harry Wagstaff Gribble. In the featured roles, Murgan and Jory have the most important characterization of their careers. The leading feminino role is portrayed by Sally Blane, and she shares the romantic Interest with Clifford Jones, stage star, who makes his screen debut with this picture. The cast in support of these principals contains a number of the most pro- minent character actors in the film colony. Among these are Tom Dugan, Luis Alberni, Ed Van Sloan, James Burtis, Adrian Morris, Johh George, Willard Robertson, Herber! Bunston, Dorothy Appleby, Boothe Howard Ani Jimmy Leong. The unusual technical olements required in the production were under the direction of Willian Cameron Menzies.
