“TIGER ROSE;"

A simple story of the love of a French-Canadian girl for an en- gineer, an attempt to frustrate that love, an accidental, shooting affair, and a man-hunt. These are the ingredients which go to make up an entertaining picture. And the story is played, in scenes Canadian scenes-that are pretty Indeed.

-“DADDY LONG LEGS"

With a simple profoundly human story that million have laughed and wept over, "Daddy Long Lega" provides notable entertainment for screen patrons to-day at the King's Theatre.

Marking the first time that |charming Janet Gaynor and the poltahed Warner, Baxter have been co-starred, this Fox Films' produc- tion of Jean Webster's well loved Iplay in confidently expected to set new attendance records at the big picture house during its run. Both the leading players are ideally suited, to their roles, and an excel lent supporting cast, headed by Una Merkel, John Arledge, Cinude Gillingwater, ben; and Kathlyn Williams, and splendid direction combine to make "Daddy Long Legs" one of the real. cinematic treats of the year.

The dancing of the native women

of the French Congo is another dynamic feature of this Columbia picture. Like their white.com- patriots of the Parisian pleasure palaces, there la little these savage girls do not know about the rhythmic movements of the human body. One almost feels the in- tolerably oppressive atmosphere of the African night, the tom-toms beating out their age-old throbbing themes--and the black bodies twisting in the frenzied ritsal of the ceremony.
