WAY OUT WEST

The vogue of the popularity in Western pictures now includes so rollicking and stellar a team of comic stars as Laurel and Hardy. who is on to-day at the King's Theatre in the Hal Roach-M-G-M feature-length" comedy, "Way Out West,"

."Way Out West" isan ideal vehicle for them; one of the most hilariously-funny features they. have ever presented. As pair of "enderbeek" desert prospectors in a back-ground of the colour and thrills of the gay 90's wild west,' Laurel and Hardy romp through a succession of adventures and mis- adventures that sent the audiences into gales of laughter.

ANGEL

“Angel,” which has its run at the Queen's Theatre today, is, from every standpoint a remarkable pro- duction, with the "Lubitsch touch" and the fine work of Marlene Dietrich, Herbert Marshall and Melvyn Douglas providing a brand of entertainment you can't afford to miss.

1

The story in that of a woman (Miss Dietrich) who is married to brilliant statesman, played by Herbert, Marshall. She loves hier husband, but absorbed in affairs of state, has no time or attention for her, She resents the fact that she is unable to share his life, and goes finally on a secret journey to Paris, where she meets a diplomat who is returning home after a long stay in India. The diplomat (Melvyn Douglas), is powerfully attracted to, Miss Dietrich, and she finds him. profoundly moving.

The principals are supported by a fine cast, with Laura Hope Crews, Everett Ernest Cossart, Edward Hortor and Herbert Mundin all lending valuable asistance to the finished picture.
