KING’S THEATRE
“MY FAVOURITE WIFE”: LAST DAY The conflict between a kissless bride and a legally dead wife oyer the same husband brings about dramatic and hilarious complications in the Irene Dunne-Cary Grant costarring film for RKO Radio, “My Favourite Wife,” which finishes at the King’s Theatre to-night. _j“Meet Dr. Christian” and “Stage to Chino”— Famed for his doctor characterisations in the Dionne quintuplet pictures, Jean Hersholt again appears as a kindly medico in “Meet Doctor Christiap,” a new comedy drama which opens at the King's Theatre tomorrow. The trials of a small town physician and the difficulties he encounters in trying to take care of the medical needs of the community without adequate equipment form a background to the warmly human story. In his fight to bring a hospital to the town of River's End, Dr. Christian faces the typical problems of numerous country doctors. The situatwns in the film are said to parallel many of those in real life. Stepping away from his usual roles as a western cow-hand, George O’Brien in RKO Radio’s “Stage to Chino,” plays the part of a United States postal inspector of the early 'eighties. The story is concerned with the dangers of running the mail by stagecoach.
