DE LUXE THEATRE.
Keginald Denny, star of "Clear the Decks," which will, commence at the Do Luxe Theatre to-night, portrays tho role of a romance-seek-ing young man who must poso as a neurotic and take' a'sea voyage in order to become better acquainted with the lady of. his choice. This is stated to.bo one of tho best portrayals Denny has given to the screen for some years, and to call to mind some of thoso hilarious comedies that made Denny famous. Tho Kit I in the case is Olivo Hasbro'ick, while Lucien Uttlefleld, in the role of a bespectacled and fastidious male nurse, and Otis Harlan, tho imaginative and nervous fat member of a trio of international jewel thieves, should both contribute a happy amount of comedy to the production. Colette Mcrton and Robert -Anderson arc the other members of tho gang of thieves, and make Denny's existence a burden on 1 the sea voyage. "Clear tho Decks" may be expected to provide an hour or so of keen appreciable enjoyment. Box plans arc available at the Bristol and Aitken's (Courtenay place),/or seats may bo reserved by application to tho theatre. The announcement is made that the air picture, "The Legion of tho Condemned," will commence its Wellington season at the De Luxe Theatre on Friday next. This picture was produced by the men who made "Wings." and is hailed as the companion picture to that great film which had such a sensational season In Wellington some.months ago. This new film tells of the exploits of a section of the French Air Force which was made up of a baud of men recruited from the far corners of the earth, each with the express desire to die. The picture is one of the most thrilling ever produced, and, some of the air scenes even surpassed those which we saw in "Wings." The cast is a big one, and includes such wellknown names as Fay Wray, Qary Cooper, Lane Chandler, and Barry Norton. The latter will be rememberet by the fine role he played as "mother* bo.T" in "What Price Glory."
