"What Mail Reviewers

Say.

AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY.”

"Having seen and heard," at the King's Theatre, "An Ameri- enn Tragedy.", we are not sur nrised at the crowded houses. For once in a way the prelimin- nry notices have been in no way exaggerated:

The chief characters are by no means beautiful, lovely, ravishing or any other of the three hundred sumerlatives work- ed to death by film producers und nublicity agents. They resem- ble ordinary everybody crea- tures, chosen according to their respective roles. It is this factor that makes of "An American Tragedy" something akin to realism something that may easily happen in the lives of any of us,

Miss Harding is seen in the fea- tarod role of Philip Barry's son- sational drama, "Holiday," a Pathe dialogue picture which is on view at the Central Theatre. A notable cast includes Mary Astor, Edward Everett Horton, Owsley, Elizabeth Forrester, Hallam Cooley, William Holden, Creighton Hale, and Mabel Forrest. Edward Griffith directed.

The result is excellent. The story concerns a "hard-working" solicitor who through a misunderstanding is thought to be an exhibition dancer and goes on with the dance to help the pretty lady partner. w

Ralph Lynn sings joyously about "Eskimo Love," a speciality number written for him by Ben Travers and Arthur Young.

The film opens at the King's Theatre on Sunday when we will be able to judge whether Ralph Lynn's Hobart Bosworth's latest char-lyrical effort is as good, or even acterisation is in Norma Tal- better, than his inimitable humour.
