"Bad Guy" (King's Theatre, to- day).-More high-tension power linesmen and their lives and loves, with Bruce Cabot in the Icading role, supported by Virginia Grey, Edward Norris, Jean Chatburn and Cliff Edwards.

shawlings this musical which is to-day ot chiefly noteworthy for the singing of Lily Pons, the French opera star. Jack Oakie, who is co-starred, and Eric Blore and Edward Everett Hor- ton help to make a success of the show.

"Adventure's End" (Alhambra Theatre, to-day). Those

who love

a sea story will find this to their taste. The film deals with whaling in the Southern Seas in 1850, and has John Wayne, Diana Gibson and Montagu Love in the leading parts.

"The Road to Glory" (Oriental Theatre, to-day),-1 is a powerful story, but lacks conviction in parts. The cast is an impressive one, com- prising Lionel Barrymore, Frederic March, Warner Baxter, June Lang

and Gregory Rate.

"Maytime" (Majestic Theatre, to- day). One of the most successful pictures made together by Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy. It is tuncful and satisfying.
