Horton At His Best

"$10 Raise the latest Fox vehicle which is now showing at the King's Theatre is an ideally suited pic- ture for Edward Everett Horton who is in the starring role.

The picture shows you Horton, a timid ledger keeper for a number of years, suddenly finding himself in love with the latest addition to the office staff, a beautiful steno- typist in the person of Káren Mor- Ley. Then Horton's attentions turns to balancing his pay check in the event of getting "hitched up." His boss becomes a tyrant to him instead of the "prince of a fellow,” Under the patient gul- dance of his new found love he is finally cured of his. Inferiority com- plex and his fear of the boss. Not only he is swindled "good and pro- · per" and turns his humiliation at the Hangs of a sharper into profit for himself, does the worm turn and the erstwhile unassuming office slave changes into a com- manding personality.
