JAMES THEATRE. "The Last Gangster." Entertainment of a gripping nature is offered in "The Last Gangster," which opens on Friday at the St. James Theatre, with Edward G. Robinson back in the type of : role which first made him famous. In the new story of a notorious gangster whose ruthless criminal career is brought to a close when he is sent to prison for ten years for income tax evasion, Robinson once again portrays his brilliant technique and consummate acting ability. Also of interest in connection with the new production is its introduction to audiences of the lovely new Viennese "find," Rose Stradner, who plays Robinson's wife in the dramatic narrative and who promises to repeat the triumphs which have heralded her as one of Europe's most popular actresses. In "The Last Gangster" Robinson is seen as Joe Krozac, gangster overlord/ who marries Talya (Miss Stradner) not because he loves her but because he wants to become the father of a son. It is not until he is sent to prison for income tax evasion that Talya learns the true ruthlessness of her husband's character and divorces him to marry Paul North (James Stewart), a reporter who has befriended her and her infant son. Whert Krozac finally serves his prison term he seeks out his wife with revenge in his heart. It is his ultimate understanding of his own unfitness to be a father to his child that brings about a stirring climax to the story. Robinson has never been greater than in his role of Krozac, and both Miss Stander and Stewart contribute memorable support as the wife and other man respectively. A uniformly fine cast also includes Lionel Stander as Robinson's chief henchman, Douglas Scott as the child, John Carradine, Sidney Blackmer, Grant Mitchell, Edward S. Brophy, Alan Baxter, Frank Conroy, and Louise Beavers. BOXING THRILLS. Thursday Night's Programme. The most ambitious programme yet attempted by the Wellington Boxing Association will be staged on Thursday evening at the Town Hall when there will be three professional bouts and six amateur preliminaries. The main bout will .be between Billy Hamilton, lightweight champion of Victoria, and Dommy Ganzon, of the Philippine Islands. Both men have been seen in the local ring and both proved beyond doubt that they are crowd-pleasers above the ordinary. Ganzon, by beating "Snowy" Clark at Christchurch last Saturday night, has proved himself to be one of the finest lightweights in Australia and New Zealand. Clark is looked upon as probably the best boxer at his weight in Australia, and this season he holds, ■ among many decisions, a points victory over Neville Mudgway, welterweight champion of New Zealand. Ganzon, it appears, has recovered the form ho was in when he knocked out 1 Billy Hamilton at Christchurch seve- : ral weeks ago. Hamilton is in the pink of condition and is determined to re- 1 verse the decision. Tommy Hansen will meet the much talked-of Brian McKay, of Hawke's Bay, over eight rounds, and Joe Hansen and Norm. < Tanner, both Wellington boys, will i meet in their professional debut over i six rounds. Particulars are advertised. .
