In "Kick In," every opportunity, has been given Clara Bow to display the dramatic talents about which Hollywood's leading directors have been marvelling for years. She has both story and supporting cast, as the fighting, loving victim of cir cumstances who fights the law to keep her sweetheart. The story is filled with human, vital drama of emotions, according to Schulberg, "just the kind of role Clara needs to prove herself."

"OUTSIDE THE LAW."

The most intimate crook story ever filmed is the treat in stare for the patrons of the Central Theatre with the showing of Universal's outstanding photoplay "Outside the Law," which is the next attraction of the theatre.
