Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. "CHANG."

The management of King George Theatre announce that they have secured the Paramount wonder picture "Chang" which people have heard so much about. This picture which has. startled and amazed the people of two continents, has been the talk of Australia after its showing in the capital cities.

"Chang" as a spectacle and as a drama lacks nothing that may not be found in the most stupendous super film. It is an epic story of man 's struggle with the primitive, and has been hailed as the greatest picture yet made.

With little or no acting, the people who play in Paramont's wonder picture '' Chang'' have produced a picture which for thrills, romance, realism, has the studio-made special beaten by miles. The dense jungles of Siani provide the stage; the trees and twining creepers; the leopards and tigers and elephants, the changing scenes. This great picture hailed universally as the greatest' yet, "will come for a season of three nights at King George Theatre next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Friday. -"PEEL MY PULSE. "

If one likes good, clea,n, fast-moving comedy for their motion picture entertainment, the .place t6 get- it this week is ath the King George Theatre.

Bebe Daniels, Paramount star, makes the offer. The beautiful player really outdoes herself in her latest screen offering, "Feel My Pulse."

Fun? Plenty! And some idea may be derived from the situations given the dashing comedienne by Howard Emmett Rogers, who is credited with the original Story. Can't you picture Miss Daniels as a girl who is perfectly healthy, but who believes that she is an invalid? And her experiences in a sanitarium fillr ed with patients who are members of a gang? And the action involved around the battles between the "patients" and the hi-jackers —with. Bebe in the midst of all?

"HOT HEELS." The most thrilling of all horse races, the steeplechase, was staged by Universal and is an important part of the comedy-drama '' Hot Heels' } which will open on Saturday, November 3rd at , King George Theatre.

Horse and rider are in constant peril from the beginning of the race until the end. Seldom is such a contest run without a serious casualty. Falls-*, are common when the entire field attempts to make a hurdle at one time. Obstacles in the way of fences, hedges and streams have brought many a horse and rider to grief.

"Hot Heels" is jammed with just such thrills in the racing sequence which is one of the high points of the picture. Those who have viewed sections of races

in newsreels can see the entire race now combined with a dramatic interest which holds an audience spellbound from beginning to end.
