Cinema Notes
"CROSS COUNTRY CRUISE”— ALHAMBRA THEATRE
the
"Cross Country Cruise," latest Universal attraction, is a delightful comedy-drama of в romance which takes place during a trip on one of the large "Grey hound" motor coaches of America.
The story centres around June Knight who attempts to elope with Alan Dinehart in a motor coach when she meets Lew Ayres, a wealthy playboy, who decides to fol- Jow her on the journey. The in- cidents which takes place during the voyage are cleverly presented, and the story reaches a climax which is both daring and entertaining.
Alice White gives excellent sup- ¡port as the other woman in the
story.
"TO-MORROW AT SEVEN"-- KING'S THEATRE
is 3
"To-morrow At Seven," sensational comedy combined with high drama, featuring Chester Morris and Vivienne Osborne.
The film, directed by Ray Enright| for the Jefferson Pictures Corpora- tion, has its plot in a thrilling mur- der mystery in an aeroplane. Miss; Osborne provides the love interest.
