It is when they are so young that they are still innocent that puppies need most help against vormin. And just when you wonder what is the safe thing to use you will remember Pulvex-deadly to the hardiest parasite.

"FINISHING SCHOOL"

Coming To The King's

Idealistic love stages a dramatic battle against the false gods of snobbery and hypocrisy and emerges gloriously triumphant in "Finishing School," RKO-Radio picture which comes to the King's Theatre on Thursday. Revealing a startling cross-section of life be- hind the exclusive walls of a cer- tain type of fashionable boarding school, the story is that of a gizl who is left to different supervision. Society-mad mothers who banish their daughters to these schools so as to be free to follow the social whirl, unburdened by, the care of their children, also are pillorted.

Frances Dea, recently seen in Little Women," plays the sen- sitive, high-strung daughter of the rich who is thrust into an atmce- phere of deceit and pretense and whose life is all but ruined before she is rescued through the love of a man outside her exclusivė social set.

Bruce Cabot is the young doctor" who loves the girl and who 'storms the walls of her school prison to save her.

Dashing Ginger Rogers will be seen as the wildest girl in the school, an expert at evading rules and the moving spirit in the stag- ing of week-end rendezvous, with fake chaperons and hidden bottles

Billie Burke portrays the girl's society-mad mother and Beulah Bondi plays the part of the hide bound, snobbish, merciless head of the finishing school,

Wallace Beery who started life Battendant to an elephant, will, follow his appearance in "The Mighty Barnum" with another' Zetrcus story, "O'Shaughnessy's Boy" in which Jackie Cooper. will co-star

Always they remembered...And the swift years slipped by.

In the year 1814, the Ave sons of Maler Amschel Rothschild had established their banking houses In five great capitals of Europe.
