KING GEORGE THEATRE.

WHEELER AND WOOLSEY IN MEDIEVAL ROMANCE. Answering the demands of critics and fans for a filmusical in the true sense of the word, the King George Theatre will resent "Cockneyed Cavaliers" next Friday and Saturday, stavring Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, with Thelma Todd and Dorothy Lee, in this RKO-Radio picture. Pursuing iie fci'end of costume pictures, "Cock-eyed Cavaliers" presents Wheeler and Woolsey as two erring knights of old carrying on with ultra modern melodies and comedy. Bert and Bob fall in with petite Dorothy Lee, who is eluding a forced marriage to a duke and masquerading as a boy. They crash the noble's palaco and meet Thelma Todd. Dot and Bert and Thelma and' .Bob pair off into romances which are charged with sheer fun. The comedy reaches a hilarious pitch when the boys capturo an escaped wild boar and receive a reward sufficient to take Dorothy out of pawn to the duke. "20th CENTURY." Disclosing a flair for comedy that even his most enthusiastic admirers had never suspected, John Barry moro appears to-night at the King George Theatre in the screen version of the famous New York stage play, "20th Century," one of the most hilarious comedies to come out of the film factories in a month of Sundays, and kept the audience in one continuous uproa • of laughter. The film purports to tell the story of Oscar Jall'e, an egotistical stage producer, who takes an unknown girl, makes a star of her, and brings her to the heights of fame. In the splendid supporting cast arc seen Carole Lombard, as the temperamental Lily Garland, the object of Jaffe's pursuit; Walter Connolly as the producer's distressed business manager; Roscoe Kams as the cynical, wise-cracking press agent, O'Mally, and Etienne Girardot, Ralph Forbes and Charles. Levison in important roles. "ELMER THE GREAT." An exceptional cast, both of comedy characters and actors who play straight parts, appear in support of Joe E. Brown in his latest First National fun film, "Elmer the Great," which comes to the King George Theatre on Monday. Joe's youthful lady is the beautiful and young Patricia Ellis, who started in pictures just a few months ago and has become one of the screen sensations of the day. Miss Ellis has a strange part, being Joe's small town girl with whose snubbing of Joe when she catches him with his arms about the smart city gal leads to his going on a spree and landing in jail. Frank McHugh, one of the screen's most humorous characters, has the role of Joe's buddy, "Hip-High" Healy. Claire Dodd is the villainess whose kiss in the lobby of a hotel leads Jo-e's country lassie to give him the »old shoulder.
