**Beau ́Bändit" is well suited. ↑ to Rụd La Rocque, for it allows him to repeat the success' he attained in "The Delightful Rogue."
Beautiful Doris Kenyon plays opposite La Rocque and contributes an admirable piece of work. It is her first film appearance since "Interference," one of the early talkera, and Miss Kenyon's talents have developed since that time. She sings in “Beau Bandit,” and her voice, caltivated by concert stage work for the past two years is one
of the best which has been brought to pictures.
Lambert Hillyer a veteran of the early film days, directed "Benu Bandit and into the story of the old west are woven three parallel threads of interest intrigue, romance, and comedy.

QUEEN'S THEATRE,
HELL'S ANGELS,” A DARING
STORY OF JOVE, .
A daring love story provides the romantic background for the thrill- ing air scenes in Hell's Angels," Howard Hughes' film of war-time aviation now playing at the Queen's Theatre."
Jean Harlow, who plays the lead- ing feminine role in "Roll's Angels," opposite Ben Lyon and James Hall, became a star over- | night as a result of her performance
in this picture.
Her performance was vivid, and realistic and the treatment of sex in Hell's Angels" has érented wide discussion.

The 04 scenes of the picturized stage success are entirely ja colour.
KING'S THEATRE,
"ANYBODY'S WOMAN."
Everybody's favourite among the film celebrities has become "Any- body's, Woman." Ruth Chatterton ha's
becu. "Madaine X," The Laughing Lady," and the Sarah of "Sarah and Soii." As "Anybody's Woman," which commenced at the King's Theatro yesterday, she is co-starred with Clive Brook in a play that is redolent of realism, and drenched with daring drama.. It is the story of the vagranties of a misfit marriage.
Brook plays a wealthy and cul- tured young lawyer, who, disap pointed by the faithlessness of the wife who has just divorced him, goes on a prolonged "binge" in the metropolis. At a cheap theatrical hotel he meets Ruth Chatterton, n broken-down show girl. During the progress of a wild party in which Brook is insensibly drunk, prɛctical-joker pompanions manage
to have Brook and Ruth married Confronted with the reality of the situation the next day, Brook man- fully decides to go through with this unbalanced allianco, Before long Rath finds that she, really loves him, since he is the only man who had ever been gentlemanly with her. He, however, is indif- ferent to her.
