#KICK IN

Flaming youth and the flapper ars old-fashioned The gay young thing who thrilled and savorated in high schools and colleges a few years ago, and was portrayed on the screen with such success by Clara Bow, the "It"girl, has

grown up...

According to Clara, the fapper has joined the hall of fame with the chicken" of 1913; the...girl of the hobble skirt. the bicyclo girl; the girl of the bustles and puds and leg-of-mutton sleeves; the girls of the mauvé decade #5, und the Voctorian age. The recent re- turn to favour of the long skirt sounded the death-knell of the apper, says the Brooklyn Bon- fine."

And with the flapper, also dis- appears the Clare Bow-of "Flam ing Youth." The irresistible Clark, no longer the fiery flapper star, haa grown up, too, and, in her latest starring picture, "Kick In," joins the ranks of the screen's foremost dramatic stars. Kjok In the .next. attraction at the King's, Theatre, marks the beginning of the new Clara Bow-the end of the old.

"Kick In "is the drama of a girl who marries an ex-convict and fights with him against the law's efforts to drag him back to prison; against his friends' pleadings to join with them in dangerous law-break- ing; against his own desire, to yield to templation. In "Kick In,' Clara Bow plays the first dramatic part she had since" Ladies of the Moh," and returns to the kind of róle which made her famous bëfore the call for the It" girl rang round the world."
