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.

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.
