Delightfully tuneful generous dash of light comedy. 3 romantic story with an unusual twist, and two lavish musical numbers, "Ready. Willing and Able" received enthusiastic acclaim when it was shown for the first time at the Majestic Theatre ves- terday.

With cast headed by the charming Ruby Keeler and ebul- lient Lee Dixon, supported by such well known players as Carol Hughes. Winifred Shaw. Allen Jenkins. Louise Fazenda. Addison Richards, E. E. Clive, and a bevy of beautiful Bobby Connolly girls. "Ready. Willing and Able" is cer- tain to please the most critical theatre goer and prove a highly profitable investment in entertain- ment.

THE BAD MAN OF BRIMSTONE

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has as- sembled a superlative cast and story in "The Bad Man of, Brims- tone," starring Wallace Beery. which has its run today at the King's Theatre.

Dealing with the wild woolly '80's of the old West, the picture tells how the town of Brimstone finally got law and order.

Fast moving, allied with breath- lets suspense The Bit Man, Đà Brimstone" offers Beery the finest opportunity of his long and bril- liant career.
