NOTES SUPPLIED BY THE THEATRES,

Outdoor romances, in great num- hers have shown on the screen at the King's Theatre, but "A Holy Terror," showing to-day, is a revelation, a real treat in this class of film entertain- mont

That popular idol of the younger generation, George O'Brien, portrays the leading role and Sally Ellers, vibrant and beautiful, enacts the fen- tured feminine role.

The story concerns the thrilling ad- verbures of a young man about town, who fade his assumed father shat to death and decides to track down the murderer.

O'Brien performs all sorts of hazar- dous feats in an acroplane and on horse-back, makes a thrilling escupe frons band of mendacious cattlemon and crashes into a lady's bathroom with his acroplane.

Greta Garbo achieves the finest per- formance of her carcer as the heroine of "Susan Lenox, Her Fall and Rine,' which will be screened on Sunday at the Queen's Theatre as a new Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer offering.

Some

critics have expressed the opinion that Garbo's appearaneen in talkies have been marked by cumber- some vehicles with a tendency toward stilted action. Certainly, no such complaint can be made of

the pic- turization of the David Graham Phil- ilpa novel, modernized and directed by Robert 2. Lennard with skilful treat ment and artistic persentation.
