"FROM HEAVEN TO HELL.*..... QUEEN'S THEATRE
An unusual story of the turf in presented in the fatest Paramount attraction, "From Heaven to Hell", now showing at the Queen's Theatre.
Beautiful Carole Lombard and poised Adrianne Ames carry the feminine roles of the picture, while Jack Oakle taken care of the comedy and David Manners the love interest.
The plot is laid about a horse race and the lives of 11 people whose future depands upon the out- cose. Each person, wants a dit- ferent horse to win, and the story- tension is carefully bulit up and carried along to the right moment.
