in "Peg of Old Drury" Dorothy Robinson gives one of the most vivid studies of her career.

"Easy To Take"

One of the biggest line-ups of child talent ever gathered together in one picture appears during radio studio sequences of "Eany to Take," the Paramount comedy-romance which has its showing at the Alham- bra Theatre to-day. Child musiciens who have won fame in concerts both on the stage and on the radio

Knowldon, Carl Sweltzer and other talented juveniles also appear in station scenes. "Easy to Take" is the story of a radio "uncle," who broad- casts talks for kiddies nightly. He is made the guardian of a ten-year-old boy by an eccentric woman, who has been charmed by his voice and has made

provision in her will that he is to take care of the estate. John Howard and Marshal Junt

The pleas of his manager, Pallette, and the charms of the boy's sister, Miss Huni, convince him. however, that he should accept. Complications set in plmost at once--the fortune proves a myth and Miss Hunt runs nway after a misunderstanding. The boy becomes so aggravating that Howard finally gives him a much needed spanking, while millions of indignant mothers Esten in over their | radios. Radlo saves the day in the

end.

"Murder by ад Aristocrat" |--One-of-the strangest-and-most un- usual mystery dramas to come to the screen, "Murder by an Aristocrat," was shown at the Majestic Theatre yesterday for the

the first time locally. Based on one of the most popular novels by Mignon G. Eberhart, the picture is packed with thrills and ex- citing incidents that kept spectators on the ca

"It's

older

and better than ever"

said Johnnie Walker

Only whisky that has matured for long years in the wood is used in the blending of Johnnic Walker; and thanks to the huge stocks of whiskies which have been laid down through- out the years, Johnnie Walker is older and better than ever.

All over Scotland these fine whiskles are patiently maturing, waiting to give," when "roundness " and skilfully blended, that harmony which has always been a distinctive feature of Johnnie Walker. Remember to look for the famous square bottle; remember to ask for Johnnie Walker by name.
