Those who have not yet seen "The Power and the Glory" are well advised not to miss the final oppor- tunity at the King's Theatre today for it is a picture which will stir your admiration and praise.

The death of Tom Garner (Spea- cer, Trauy).. railroad magnate re- called to Henry (Frank Morgan), his lifelong friend the manner in which Garner reached the heights of success from a humble start as track walker. At this stage the picture scenes are reverted to the time when Tom started his success- ful career, and from then on the audience is treated to a drama of an unusual first clam calibre. It is a bitter story, a tragic tale told without compromise and with none of the usual amenities which have ruined similar screen plots. In fact it is beautiful in its tragedy.
