Many actora. go to Hollywood doter- mined to crash lato motion pictures, but discover they have made thà trip- merely for their health.

Alexander Kirkland raversed the order of this common procedure. For following his success on the New York stage, he went to the Pacific Coast in search of health and, on the day following his arrival in Holly wood, found himself signed, to a Fox Tiimi contract and asaigned to 縣 featured role in "Surrender".

Kirkland has since played featured roles in "Charllo. Chan's Chance", "Almost Married", "Devil's Lottery", "Passport to Hell" and other pletures, including "Strange Interlude".

Kirkland's latest picture is "Hu- manity" now at the King's Theatre, in which he is co-foatured with Boots Mallory. Other Important roles are enacted by Ralph Morgan and Ireno

Ware.

"Humanity", directed by John Francis Dillon, la based on a story by Harry Fried and prepared for the screen by Bradley King. It revolves about the adventures of a young doctor who forsakes the ideals of his physlelan father and takes a disastrous excursion in to the realms of society and big money.
