"DARK VICTORY”

AT THE KING'S

TODAY

If there really was any doubt, after "Jezebel" and "The Sistera," as to just who la the greatest ac- tress on the screen today, there can certainly be no more argument on the matter after everyone has scen-and they will-Bette Davis in her latest Warner Bros, picture, "Dark Victory," which opens at the King's Theatre today.

The new film is fully worthy of the talents of its lustrous star. It tells a love story of transcendant beauty and deeply moving · poig- nancy and it provides a central character upon whose рот- trayal Misa Davis can lavish every resource of her consummate art.

Of course, while every happen- ing in the picture revolves about the girl played by Miss. Davis, the production is by no means a monó- logue for her. An exceptionally able supporting cast, numbering in such luminaries as George Brent, Humphry Bogart, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Henry Travers and Ronald Reagan, was provided by Warner Bros.
