"GUILTY HANDS."

"LADIES OF THE BIG HOUSE."

A number of Interesting anec dotes regarding Sylvia Sidney's early stage and screen experiences, were told at the Hollywood Para- mount studio, when she and Gene Raymond were on the sets making "Ladles of the Big House," a ro- mantle story of two young lovers, cruelly separated by the law just before their wedding day, which is the feature picture at the King's Theatre to-day.

"Miss Sidney's first stage role," said an old friend, "called for a good old-fashioned, blood-curdling screen as the curtain came down at the end of the second act. The au- dience was so terrified by it that Miss Sidney became a specialist in Latave screams as a curtain cus-in- a succession of plays. It took heri some time to live down her reputa- tion as the 'terror actress'."

Gene Raymond said he witnessed the following trying situation: "Miss Sidney was playing a scene once in which she picked up a waste basket full of revolvers and carried it from a room under the nose of the police."

Raymond continued: *IT was suddenly aware of a change in Mias: Sidney's acting. She became more intense; the audience became more; alert. There was a crash on the stage. The audience was deathly. still; there was not a snicker in the house. Miss Sidney continued her vibrant but collected performance; but the bottom had fallen out of the basket and the police had to pretend not to see the revolvers.' By her capable acting Misa Sidney held the attention of the audience and saved the scone."

Lionel Barrymore is featured as | “CANARIES SOMETIMES SING." the master killer'in "Guilty Hands," Bayard Veiller's now mystery "Tom Walls will soon be as well- drama which will show from to-known to film fans as he is as an morrow at the Queen's Theatre as actor-manager," says the "York- a new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer offer- shire Evening Newa." "In turning ing.

to talking picture production, he has the advantage of having at his. command a succession of bright forces with dialogue and situations worked out with clockwork preci- sion."

In this startling murder thriller. Barrymore contributes, the best performance he has given upon the screen. His characterisation of the veteran prosecutor and attorney, facing the necessity
