Opera House

O'UR GANG. The usual Our Gang Matinee will be held at the Opera House this morning. The programme includes Richard. Dix in “D'evil’s Squadron”, also a Laurel — Hardy Comedy, a Coloured Revue, aac Buck Jones in “The Roaring West." “DEVIL’S SQUADkcHV Airplanes falling in twisted, flaming musses, pilots “bailing out" for their lives, shautered nerves, courage and cowardice in one of the world’s most hazardous professions—testing new planes for airworthiness—go to make up one of the most exciting pictures of recent months, Columbia’s drama, “Devil’s Squadron,” which conies to a neat three-point landing at the Opera House to-day, piloted by Richard Dix. There is romance in this action-packed film. Karen Morley a distinctly capable actress, who never seems to make enough pictures, plays opposite Dix. Lloyd Nolan, Shirley Ross, ten-year-old Billy Burrud, Henry Mollison and Gene Morgan also play featured roles with a good deal of skill. “THE LAW IN HER HANDS.” “The Law in Her Hands,” a comedy drama, combining hilarious laughter itind dramatic thrills, conies to the Opera House on Monday, with a tai- 1 ented cast headed by Margaret Lind-i say, Glenda 'Farrell, Warren Hull and' Lyle Talbot. The plot is said to move with rapid action from the first sequence when a bomb is dropped in a restaurant by a racketeer to the denouement in which the boss gangster is convicted o f poisoning milk for babies and killing witnesses to cover up his tracks. The final court trial is amazing, a woman lawyer turning her own racketeering client over to justice after he had kidnapped her and forced her to defend him by threats against her life. Other court trials are decidedly humorous. Misunderstandings pile up in the path of t!he two lovers and opposing lawyers, roles played by Miss Lindsay and Hull, until the amazing climax brings the solution to their knotty problem. Glenda Darrell aids and abets Miss Lindsay in her tricks to free their racketeering clients. Chief of the gangsters is Lyle Talbot. Others in the east include Eddie Acuff, Dick Purcell, Al fihean, Joseph Orehan, Matty Fain, Addison Richards and Eddie iShubcrt. William Clemens directed.
