"SPRINGTIME FOR AT THE QUEEN'S

With Otto Kruger

"Springtime For Henry," an up- roarious comedy of a modern Don Juan's romantic adventures, wili make its appearance on the screen of the King's Theatre on Thurs- day. Benn W. Levy, the author of the play, was brought to Holly- wood to rewrite the story for Fox Fm. It is reported that the plc- ture, because of the screen's large scope, is even funnier than the play.

The picture deals with the hectic life of Henry Dewlip (Otto Kruger), a modern young 'bache- lor whose adventures are chiefly concerned with two women.

An immense
