FORECAST IN MEN MUST FIGHT!!

Because Men Must Fight" new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer screen drama which is coming on Sunday to the Queen's Theatre is supposed to occur in the year 1940, the clothes worn by the feminine members of the cast have an unusual sigai- ficance in this production. Upon the shoulders of Adrian, the cele brated style creator, fell the res ponsibility of looking ahead seven years to anticipate the styles, which will prevail in the future.

Both in the design and the com. bination of materials; the clothes worn by the feminine members of the cast are said to be startlingly different from anything seen on the screen befare.

RACKETY RAX"

VICTOR MÉLAGLEN'S BEST COMEDY

A strong comedy cast appears in "Rackety Rax" in support of Victor McLaglen, the Fox Satire which comes to the King's Theatru on June 4 and 3. The film is said to afford McLaglen the most comi- cal role of his career, far surpassing "The Cock Eyed World and "What Price Glory" in its farcical possi bilities. Greta Nissen who has the role of a platinum blonde in Rackety Rax" shares honours in comedy scenes with Nell O'Day, from the musical comedy stage. Marjorie Beebe as a racketeer's wife and Esther Howard as "fixer lady" or go-between," both have parts which have plenty of oppor- tunity for laughter. The comedians inRackety Rax." are Arthur Pierson as a sporting press agent; Allan Dinehart as a sanctimonious college professor, and underworld lawyer fixer; Allen Jenkins; Vince Barnett, Hollywoods cleverest "rib ber" Stanley Fields.
