tu-morrow,

Few all-talking "westerns" have as many elements of entertainment as the Wallace Smith fra of Montero, the Killer, and his colour ful operations on the deserts of the

southwest.

Mitchell Lewis, Walter Long George Duryea, Charles B. Middle ton and Jim Donlon are seen and heard in rugged supporting roles.

Twelve world-champlon cowboys, trick rapers, bulldoggers and bronco riders comprise the personnel of the "sheriff's posse," a group that furnishes much of the colour and humour of the photoplay.

Rod La Rocque again demons- trates his Latin-American dialectic

ability, while Doris Kenyon rides, and sings and plays "Just a Little Kisa," written especially for her by Harry Tierney, RKO composer.

Exterior scenes were photograph ed and recorded in the story's

natural locale--the Mojave desert. Lambert Hillyer, the director, with a troupe of 100, spent several weeks

in desert encampment during pro- duction.

In spite of the universal and ab normal depression of trade which prevailed in 1930, Vickers, Ltd., the famous armament, shipbuild- ing, heavy steel, aircraft and en- gineering company, was one of the Theatre; few British companies which suc-|

ceeded in maintaining its profits Theatre; fairly closely to the level of 1929, and the company is again paying Theatre; a dividend of 8 per cent. on Its

The directors transfer £100,000 to the Reserve Fund, which now amounts to £1,100,000, and after making provision for the payment of dividends the sum of £231,970, or slightly more was brought in, is carried forward. The balance sheet is even more satisfactory than the profit and loss account for it reveals a posl. tion of great strength. Indeed, the financial position of Vickers has never been stronger than it le to-day, which means that its oper ating subsidiaries are in a posi- tion to undertake a wide exten- sion of their activities whenever trade revives. Out of assets amounting to £21,972,210, no less than £9,350,300 is represented by floating assets against which cur- rent abilities amount to only
