All the glamour, colour and thrif of the prize ring are realistically on display in "The Prizefighter and the Lady," the now Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer | Alm showing at the Queen's Theatre, Max Baer, who fa patred with Myrna Loy in the new picture, proves him- self as great a lovor as he is a fighter) and, according to reports, threatens] to overthrow the standard. moviol meaning of the word "romantic." Tall, the and handsome, Baer's 'niature conjurça up mental, images of clean-limbed Greek gods and Socratie athletic students. Against the background of thudding fista and the barking guns of Willie Ryan's. gang of racketeers, W. B. Van Dykoj the director, has woven a beautiful, sensitive, fragile love story. Myrna Loy gives a gripping performance as Bollo, night-club hostess who falls in love with Steve Morgan (Max Baer), protects him from her ex-sweetheart, the gangster Ryan, and impale him to fame and the championship match. Olte Kruger plays Ryan with all the polish and amrothness expected from thin doan of stage actors, recently drafted to Hollywood and the M-G-M studios. As the booze-ridden "Pro fessor," Walter Huston gives what this reviewer canaiders one of the best performances of the great character actor's career. It is a perfect role for Huston that of an old night mana- ger who rehabilitates his own charac ter In the Interest grooming fr the championship fight the young man he discovers working in a barroom. As the referee of the big match. Jack Dempsey revenis all the great charm and ability that are characteristically his. He is an excellent actor, this Jack Dempsey.

"Doctor Ball"

Marlon Nixon has one of the fes-, tured rules in "Doctor Bull", Wal Rogers' latest picture for Fox Film, coming on Sunday to tho. King's

Theatre. This makes the third pic- ture in just about na many months la which Miss Nixon has had an im-) portant rule. The other two were "Pilgrimage" and "Best of Enemics," a fact that accounts for her being one of the busiest actresses in the film colony. The supporting cast In "Doctor Bull", which is the screen- adaptation of James Gould Cozzens important novel "The Last Adam", includes Vera Allen, Ralph Morgan, Louise Dresser, Rochelle Hudson, Andy Devine and Berton Churchili John Ford directed, from the adap- lation by Paul Green, Pulitzer win- ner of two or three seasons ago,

"Ladies They Talk About"

Preston S. Foster after months of playing criminal characters and arch vilinin roles has his first sympathetic part playing opposite Barbara ` Stan- | wyck In Ladice they Talk About," a picture which comes the Alhambra Theatre from the Warner Bros. studio. Preston was a crook_In “I'm a Fugitive from a Chain Gang" a Riller in "The Last Mille" and a mon- ster in "Doctor X". In other pictures ho has had more or less evil or heavy parts, but in "Ladies They Talk "About," "hë” becontes;a" two fisted," high powered evangelist who works among! women criminals, one of whom he falls for. At least he bectmes in- fatuated with Miss. Stanwyck, a pri- conor at San Quentin, and a bank. bandit of sorts, although a mighty attractive one. Preston expounds re- ligion at a tabernaels, conducts a mis- sion, and in the course of events turns path of Miss Stanwyck into the righteousness. Foster saya that his parents plotted a theokgical career for him in his youth, but admits that this is the nearest he has come to ful. filling their ambitions for him. The story is intensely dramatic in its port rayal of prison life with the glamour fo romance between a woman pri- soner and the evangelist, Others in the cast incindo Lyle Talbot, Dorothy Burgess, Lillian Roth, Bide Eburne, Harold Huber and Ruth Donnelly The screen play by Sidney Satherland and Brown Holraes is based on the play by Dorothy Mackayo and Carl ton Mies. It was directed by Howard Bretherton and William Keighley.

Pebeco makes white teeth...

and

firm. healthy

gums:

Put Pebeco-half an inch or so-on your tooth brush when you clean your teeth. Notice how it stimulates the glands, you feel the cleansing-moisture-rushing into every crevice, washing away every lurking food remnant, and purifying the whole mouth. Your teeth are actually bathing in a cleansing, germ-destroying flow.

Rinse and gargle mouth and throat, and you will have a feeling of mouth cleanliness and freshness: never before experienced. The salty, Invigorating flavour of Pebeco Is proof of its medical value.
