"Springtime For Henry"
Otto Krager may be a heart throb to the ladies but he is just a little hit too rough to suit Billy Jones. Bill knows, for Kruger falled to realize his own strength in a fight 'scquenco for "Springtime For Henry" and eatu- pulted him through a big window. The victim landed on his midsection on the sidewalk outside the window with no injuries other than a scratch on the bridge of bis nose and another on his forehead. The Jesse L. Lasky company was engaged in making a scene in an evangelistic mission which resulta in a free-for-all fight with Otto Kruger and Nancy Carroll in the midst of the fighting. Kruger and Jones were nominated as Bparring pariners for the sequence by Director Frank Tuttle and the camera was not, up to photograph their action through the window. Jones won an unexpect- ed close up when he went through the window to Jand almost in the very lons of the camera. The picture Is now playing at the King's Theatre. "Little. Man, What Now?' The improvidence of youth, and the struggle of a young couple against dire poverty, forms the basis for the story of "Little Man, What Now?" Frank Borzage's Universal drama which comes to the King's Theatro on Sunday starring Margaret Sullavan who is supported by Douglas Mont- Married almost entirely without savings, the youngsters struggle along on the bare pittance which the boy carns as a clerk, only to have their income coase entirely when he loses his job.. Many dishear tening adventures ensure, but finally the young husband obtains another clerkship in a department store, and the future looks brighter in spits of la niggardly salary. On the first pay day, however, he spends almost his entire month's wages on a single beautiful dressing table for his wife, simply because she has admired it in a furniture store window, and they again find themselves without funds. Approaching motherhood confronts the young wife, but months before. (Continued on Next Columita.)
