TALKIES AT SOUTHBRIDGE.

FOB TOMORROW NIGHT.

"DON'T BET ON WOMEN.'

i If the list of film heroines to whom Edmund Lowe has, at one time or another, been husband, sweetheart, or lover were made up, it would read like a "Who's Who" of filmland. Yet he always manages to impart something original and different to his interpretation of the role, depending on the nature and temperament of the leading lady. Imagine a man betting Edmund Lowe ten thousand dollars that he, Lowe, could not kiss the first woman that steps on a certain porch, without disclosing that the aforesaid woman is the man's own wife.

However, that particular bet and incident is the highlight of "Don't Bet on Women," Fox Movietone production directed by William K. Howard and rated the smartest picture to ever come from the Fox Studios. It will be shown at the Southbridge Town Hall tomorrow night.

Inasmuch as the beautiful Jeanette MacDonald happens to be the objective of the kiss wager, one can readily understand the motivation" and the subsequent interest. Miss MacDonald as the wife of Roland Young makes it her busine'ss to prove that all women are not so bad especially after she finds out that her husband has forced a ten thousand dollar bet on Lowe that he cannot kiss her within forty-eight liours. She makes it a bad forty-eight hours for both! Thus in previous pictures where his heroines are concerned Lowe was very much on the offensive; in this case Miss MacDonald has him decidedly on the defensive.

Residents of Southbridge and other parts of the district are advised to make certain of seeing this fine picture. On the same programme are International News, Travel Talk. Comedy and Fox News. Have a bet of 1/6 at the ticket office and be assured of a good return for your investment. Incidental music begins at 7.45 p.m.
