THE MAN WHO BROKE THE BANK AT MONTE CARLO”— KING'S AND ALHAMBRA THEATRES

Dru-

Not since his "Bulldog mond" roles has Ronald Colman had a part so particularly suited to his talents and a story so much in keeping with his flair for the suave and debonair as in this pic- turc.

Romance and comedy go hand- jin-hand in this picture, in which the leading Joan Bennett has Teminine role. Cast in important roles are also Colin Clive, Nigel Bruce and Montague Love.

Ronald Colman plays the part of an improvished Russian Prince who goes to Monte Carlo with his meagre savings and runs the stake to 10,000,000 francs at baccarat, breaking the bank of the Sporting

Club.

Peter Lorre, Marian Marsh and Edward Arnold are in "Crime and Punishment." a Columbia production, which will be shown at the King's and Alhambra Theatres soon.
