KING’S THEATRE

“Make A Wish” & “The Man Who Found Himself”

Many music-lovers believe that the most appealing singing voice of all is that of a young boy, and to these ‘ Make a Wish,” Bobby Breen's new picture z at the King’s Theatre, will' particularly ap-

peal. It is, not, however, merely a picture made to afford the young singer an opportunity of rendering a few apppropriate songs. “Make, a Wish” is an enchanting story of the birth of an operetta and of a romance which ripens in the wealthy outdoor atmosphere of a lalie-

artists’ colony.

The 8-year-old Bobby Breen scores an undoubted success in his third film, proving that as well as a voice he has a surprising talent for acting. In this picture he has a most congenial role as a typical outdoor-loving boy, thoroughly at home in one of the huge summer camps which are so popular in America. Most important* feature of “The Man Who Found Himself.” the seend film on the programme, is the appearance of Joan Fontaine, the sister of Olivia de Havilland, and soon to be seen as Fred Astaire’s new partner. In this familiar story of the young doctor who is unjustly degraded from his profession but who makes good again under another name, Miss Fontaine plays the nurse who is a powerful influence on his regeneration. John Beal conscientiously portrays the doctor whose interest in aviation is at first the cause of his downfall and later plays an important part in deciding him to return to medicine.
