"TOO BUSY TO WORK"

WILL ROGERS FILM FOR

KING'S

Will Rogers, frequently describ ed as the best known personality in America, the intimate of kings and queens and the companion of cap- tains of industry comes to the King's Theatre next Sunday in the role of a tramp.

•

The picture is "Too Busy To Work," his most recent Fox pro- duction. It tells the story of a penniless vagabond, who searches. the country far and wide in the hope of finding his wife and daugh. ter and the man who stole them while he was fighting for his coun- try in the World War.

Eventually, he stumbles upon his daughter and the other man" and learns that his wife has long since been dead. The action he takes is, perhaps, not what the or dinary man would do under similar circumstances.

Those who were priveleged to. attend the preview of the above named picture were afforded a treat. It was most entertaining, and tense with several exciting. Beensa. It is a picture with a moral too, for it teaches youngsters to be kind to animals. Young Gene Raymond as the care-takor. of the Zoo will not allow any one to ill treat the animals. In fact he is in trouble for having stolen a 'lady's fur, not that he wanted it, but he thinks it wrong for peo- ple to kill any animal for its fur. He is threatened with dismissal if ho repeats the offence, but we sen him do the very same thing again, when he hides behind the bushes and carefully removes another x- pensive neck piece from a lady in the park. His motive is not theft, as he burn the article. There is a girl in the story also, and. Lorotta Young is the one who furnishes the
