AMUSEMENTS

Majestic.—Columbia, capitalising: on the age-old yen to see man combat the elements, has produced “The Walking: Hills,” co-starring Randolph Scott and Ella Raines. The story concerns nine men and a woman, alone in the desert, seeking: fabulous treasure and escape from their pasts. The associate feature, “The Devil's Henchman,” in a waterfront drama starring: Warner Baxter. Episode 4 of “Zorro's Black Whip” opens the sessions, v King's.—For high drama in low life in the United States, "The Time Of Your Life,” which is being screened at the King's Theatre today, takes all rivalry on the chin, and still remains firm upon its feet. This picture of hectic happenings in a very mixed company is the screen adaptation of William Sarovnn'a prize-winning novel of the same name. The acting honours fall to James Cagney, William Bendix, Wayne Morris and Jeanne Cagney. The supporting feature is “The Roosevelt Story.”

Regent.—" China Seas,” showing today and tomorrow at the Regent Theatre, is a re-issue of one of Metro-Goldwyn-Mnyer’s most notable film successes and remembered by local patrons for its rugged action and the performance of the original "platinum blonde," Jean Harlow. Clark Gable. Wallace Beery and Rosalind Russell are also featured in "China Seas.” The supporting programme distinctly adds to the entertainment value of the presentation.
