THE LADY CONSENTS THE TEXAS RANGERS

Gossip, usually a homewrecker

use in

in Action and real life, has been put to an amusing new RKO Radio's "The Lady Consenté," co-starring Ann Harding and Her- bert Marshall.

In

this picture of matrimonial complexities, a scandal-monger proves to be the perfect tool for an abandoned wife to recaptures her husband and home.

Highlighted with sparkling comedy, the photoplay depicts Miss Harding as a woman who was too quick to go to the divorce courts when her philandering. husband succumbed to the wiles of a fase, cinating patient.

Margaret Lindsay is the other woman. Walter Abel, Edward Ellis, Hobart Cavanaugh and Tika Chase are featured Stephen Roberts directed,

The organization of men whose work was largely responsible for making a State out of the sprawling region

unified. law-abiding. of early Texas is immortalized in Rangers showing at the Orientai King Vidor's epic, The Texas Theatre on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday..

Filled with action and the colour of the post-Reconstruction period along the Panhandle, The Texas Rangers" features a cast headed MacMurray. Jack Oalde, Jean by such top-notch stars as Fred Parker, Lloyd Nolan, Edward Ellis and Bennie Bartlett, It was flm ed in outdoor locations in Texas and New Mexico with the Governors of both States giving full co-operation.

THE GARDEN OF ALLAH

A glorious feast of colour and romance awaits you at the King's Theatre to-day where David O. Selznick's Technicolour production of the immortal Robert Hichens love story of the desert, "The Gar- den of Allah," with Marlene Dietrich and Charles Boyer in the stellar roles.

KING EDWARD'S DIARY OF LOCAL

ABDICATION

Document May Be Seen

The Prime Minister stated in the House of Commons that the origin. al of the Instrument of Abdication | executed by 'King Edward VII had been placed in the Privy Coun- ell register, states the "Evening Standard,"

He did not feel able to adopt the suggestion that he should make provision that the document should be preserved in the Palace of West- minster and made accessible to the public in the same manner as other historical Parliamentary documents.

In due course it would be trans- | ferred to the Public Records Office, which WIL its proper, eventual repository, and, subject to

the ruling of the Master of the Rolls, would be open to public inspection like other entries in the register.
