"Six Of A Kind" the Paramount flim-comedy" now playing at the Central Theatre, is the first picture ftwhich those funny people, George Burng and Gracie Allen; have feeatured roles throughout the entire pluture.

1.

Heretofore, they have just fitted in" and out of the picture but in this they are featured along with Charlie Ruggies. Mary Boland, W. C. Fields and Allson Skipworth,

It's a' six-cylinder comical affær with each member of the cast try- ing to outdo the other fellow for laughs. Leo McCarey, the man responsible for Eddie Cantor's

Kid from Spain" and the last Marx Brothers' comedy "Duck Soup." was the director.

The original story was written by Keene Thompson and Douglas MacLean, one-time silent

screen

screen comedian with the screen play by Walter De Leon and Harry Ruskin.

The picture abounds with up- roarious hilarity from start to fin- sh. The substance of the story is the trouble that comes to Charlie- Ruggles, and Mary Boland, happlły married for many years, when they

start out on their 2nd honeymoon

with Burns and Allen as playing guests, on their motor trip.

Palace of Holyroodhouse. +

The battalion was drawn up on the lawn, and the King and Queen walked towards them from the Falace at 11 o'clock. They shook hands with officers and chatted: with them before the inspection Legan

Gives Superb Performance

Joan Crawford has delighted you before and that is exactly why she is Joan Crawford, but never in the whole "of her brilliant career has the star turned in a performance which can be compared with her characterization of the title role of Sadie McKee which is now attract- ing crowded houses to the popular Queen's Theatre.

B

It is dificult to say whether it is entirely due to the star on the supporting cast that "Sadle McKee" is such a success is hard to say. The fact remains, however, that the picture is one of the best. put on by management of this theatre for, a long time and those who know how particular the Queen's are about the pictures they show may be able to guess what an excellent picture Sadie McKee is

While we are handing out the bouquets. it will not be fair if mention were not made of some of the other players, The debonair Franchot Tene, for instance, gives 'an inspired performance; never before has Gene Raymond been heard to croon to better advantage and Edward Arnold. well, he is just priceless!

thou, Sir John emphasised that Britain would give the project en- couragement and moral support only on the following conditions:

That the Pact did not imply the creation of one combination of Powers against another:,

That we undertook no дет obligations or extension of our pre- sent commitments; and.

That Russia entered the League of Nations.

France accepted these conditions. He believed that Russia shared the view that she should enter the League-a move which would be an "immense gain," Bir John further disclosed that:

France had authorised him to approach Germany with the view A Pact of Mutual Assistance be-
