THE TALKIES.

AURORA THEATRE. IRON MAN. Lew Ayres in “Iron Man,” will open to-morrow. This powerful love story of the prize ring is from the novel by W. R. Burnett, and was a ,bcok-of-the-month-club issue. It was hailed by critics as an even more powerful and true to life story than “Little Caesar,” which, both as a book and as a motion picture broke both records. Francis Edwards Faragoh, who wrote the screen play and dialogue of “Little * Caesar,” also wrote the screen play and dialogue of “Iron Man.” “Iron Man” stars Lew Ayres, the youth who made such a sensation in “All Quiet on the Western Front,” in the 'role of a lightweight fighter who, through the clever handling of his manager, played by Robert Armstrong, eventually wins the light weight crown.

In this dramatic picture one of New York’s richest men is suddenly confronted with the fact that he has-ruined his only son by giving him too much money. How the son *finally worked out his salvation, with the aid of a sweet 'little cabaret singer, played by Miss Gaynor, provides one of the most dramatic romances yet brought to the screen Sound on film apparatus has just been installed in the Turua Hall, and the whole plant brought right up-to-date with the latest improvements, ard patrons will be catered for with varied programmes of the best type, v.ith good supporting subjects.
