This sequence, filmed by submarine cameras in Florida, shows the famous swimming star “doing his stuff” under water, with Miss O’Sullivan and John Sheffield, playing their adopted son, "Boy.” Majestic.—Two outstanding action features provide enjoyable ' entertainment for the week-end. "Mississippi Gambler” is a combination of mystery, thrills, music and romance. The stars are Kent Taylor, Francis Langford, and Claire Dodd. The associate feature is Jack London’s adventure story, “Gold Hunters of the North," filmed as “North to the Klondike,” with Brod Crawford, Andy Devine, and Lon Chaney. The serial is “Don Winslow of the Navy.” King’s.—One of the most outstanding romantic dramas of our time commences at the King’s Theatre to-day.
