ROBBER BARONS

Based on the life of Jim Fisk, "Robber Barons" is a gripping and entertaining dramatic romance, its high emotional appeal being In its love theme-the flamboyant courtship of fascinating Joste Mansfield by the financier.

Frances Farmer is ideally suited to the role of Josie Mansheld, the woman for whom Mak tries to solidify his financial empire by gaining a corner on the world gold market. Her pleasing con- tralto is heard in three songa, one of which is "Sweet Alice Ben Bolt." a classic of the post-Civil War era.

"Robber Barons" opens at the Queen's Theatre to-morrow.

SUPER-SLEUTH

Jack Oakie gives a fine comedy performance in this one and the film, which is excellently written and directed will please every where. The title properly charac- terizes the type of plcture, does not convey its real value. Better than average entertainment and a real laugh provoker.

It is here that Miss Ruth Hasse, the leading lady, allows herself to be wreathed in snakes-- all very much alive, and one of them colled twice round her leg. As she had already danced with the leopards and "looped the loop" 19 times on a bicycle, this must have beena comparatively restful experience.

Some Chinese Jugglers and acrobats manage breath-taking exploits with remarkable grace. and for rough-and-tumble humour the six gigantic pantomime-żebras. who cavort through a circus-scene and Invade the auditorium, would take a deal of beating.

But it is as an Oriental “wonder- show" that "Tropical Express,
