To the hauntingly melodies of Fritz Kreisler's music. some new, some, mellowed by the passing years, Grace Moore sings again of love. To-day, at the King's Theatre, the screen filled with the beauty of her new Columbia picture, "The King Steps Ous," a proud successor to the "Love "One Night of Love" and Me Forever" which so endeared her to the hearts of the world.

This time there is no backstage story. no climb to the Metropolitan but a charming tale of a royal romance in imperial Austria

"I like a game of poker," sald Max. You understand? It gives me great fun and mental relaxa- tion. you understand? It means friendships and laugh's just like you, you understand? But and Max swigged half a jug-full of sour milk like a yodeller, "But." he gasped and rasped, “I can't sit- in on a game.”

I was desolated.

"Why not?" was the best I could do under the circumstances.

We both looked disconsolately at the cards strewn all over the floor.

"What card did you have in mind?" asked Max.

"Five of hearts." I called. "Well, quietly remarked Max here it is!"
