KING GEORGE THEATRE

TO-NIGHT at 8 p.m

AGAIN THURSDAY and FRIDAY.

"A Dangerous Affair" opens at the King George Theatre to-night and literally throws the audience into a panic of Jaughs and thrills. . Jack Holt and lialph Graves, popular screen buddies, who are -co-starred in this mystery film, can carve another notch of success in their guns. They not only hold the audience during the exciting scnes but they cause uncontrollable mirth in their own inimitable fashion—Jack Holt with his dry humour and Ralph Graves with his wise-cracking flppancies. . _ . . ~. As police lieutenant and newspaper reporter, they start things humming in a sleepy Long Island town by framing a little robbery;—and as a result find themselves involved' in two murders and a jewel niysitery! Needless to say the picture is thrilling, weirdly excit--1 irig and oxcruiatingly funny. Their manner of ox-trieaturg themselves from tho difficulties will keep you breathless whether it's through fright or mirth. None of the seriousness of the mystery . has been sacrificed by the comedy. The huonour is put across through the characterisations rather than the actual plot although the plot is motivated by a gag." The gag, how.ever,• develops iuito something more'than was expected.

Sally Blanc is the woman in the case. In this film the two buddies do not come to blows over a femine — there is no rivalry on that account. R/alph. Graves has no competition in winning the band of the charming Sally—and she is. every bit of that! In addition she is a finished performer. The Supporting cast includes choice characterisations toy Susan Fleming, Blanche Fi-iderici, Sidney "Brady, Tyler Brooke, William Mong and Ester Muir.

Howard Green is responsible for the story and should receive considerable credit^for the clever way in which he worked out the plot.'' The direction of Ediward Sedgwick is well sustained throughout.

THIS SATURDAY. MONDAY AND TUESDAY. "IS MY FACE RED" Lighting paragraphs, the devoted lovo of a chorus girl and the ho;pes and disillusioaments of a multiude combine in the making of a spectacular film coming to the King George Theatre on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday, October 15th, 17th and 18th, The picture is BKO-Uadio'fl "Is My Face Red?" with Helen Twelvetrees, Ricardo Cortez, Jill Esmond, Robert Armstrong and Arline Judge in the cast. j It bares the soul and the activities of a high-pressure columnist—a -wrecker of happiness, a rollicking imp of Satan, who slings his darts at high and low, • irrespective of feelings, blasted happiness and ruined reputations. Tearing the veil from the mysterious origin of intensely personal gossip, the film accompanies the columnist on excursions into dives and speakeasies. It accompanies him backstage in Broadway show palaces and into the homes of the socially elect. It pictures him at work in his office and traces the innumerable tips which pour in on him. And it shows him before the radio microphone broadcasting the secrets that sear the souls of some or elate those who crave mention. With its startling revelations, it tells an absorbing story in. which tangled lovos and bitter hatreds ' play their 'parts, and haw the cavalier penman is at last triply cornered.

Ben Markson and Allen Rivkin, two former newspaper men, write the story upon which this powerful picture is based. It was directed by "William Seiter.
