THE LONGEST NIGHT

Mystery, with the added elements of romance and humour, provides the highspot of "The Longest Night" the attraction at the King's Theatre to-day.

This Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer drama has the unique advantage of a huge department store focale, which is unusual enough in itself. The incidents which occur in rapid succession there combine to bulld a novel story and the cast takes full advantage of it.

4

Robert Young and Florence Rice have the leading roles, the son of the store owner and a salesgirl, respectively. They frustrate a band of clever department store swindlers by a ruse that is ad- mirably smart and equally effec- t've, but it won't do to reveal it before you see the picture.

The supporting cast includes Ted Healy, Julle Haydon, Catharine Doucet. Janet Beecher, Lesile Fenton, Sidney Toler, Paul Stan- ton, Olin Howland, Kitty McHugh, Samuel S. Hinds. Tommy Bupp, John Hyams and Minor Watson.
