REX THEATRE.

Entertaining Programme.

Shall the land-belong td the wheatgrowers, who bring food crops from the soil each year, or to the hydraulic miners, whose terrific streams of water tear away the hillsides and ruin the adjacent farming lands? .In the 1870's that was the burning question of the ,day in America. Men fought about it. Many were killed. Bitter hatreds were engendered. This situation forms the basis of "Gold is Where You Find It," a magnificent Warner Bros.-Cos-mopolitan production, made with the newest Technicolor process, which heads the bill at the Rex Theatre. Gostarring are George Brent and Olivia de Havilland: Brent as an Eastern mining engineer in charge of the hydraulic mining, and Olivia as daughter of the leading wheatgrower of I the region, Claude Rains. There are plots, counter-plots, battles, floods, dynamitings, and constant turmoil before they reach their ultimate happiness. Taking part in all this, action [are such fine players as Margaret Lindjsay, John Litel. Marcia Ralston, Barjton Mac Lane, Tim Holt, Sidney Toler, ["Windy" Hayes, Henry O'Neill, and a score of others. Co-starring Victor McLaglen and Jackie Cooper in one of the most dramatic stories to come out lof Hollywood in recent months, UniverI sal's "The pig Guy" is' the associate film. McLaglen, whose rugged performances have won him the screen's highest acting honour, the Academy Award, portrays a prison warden who is trapped by the same motives he condemns in the convicts under his care. Spectacular battles with a big city racketeering syndicate, and the amazing and mysterious adventures of a modern Robin Hood, high light the fast action drama of Universal's thirteenchapter serial, "The Green Hornet," the first chapter of which is also show-! ing. • ■'
