“DINTY.”

With a bundle of newspapers under his arm, and a voice twice us loud as any other in Chinatown, “Dinty”.fights the world for a living, and makes himself newsboy king to provide a home for his old Irish mother. Then, when his mother dies. “Dinty” has to fight down the leeling that life* “isn’t such a much” after all, and he battles to gel. back into the game and make himself the success his mother always longed to see him. Wesley Barry, the youthful befrockleab star, is a revelation as “Dinty,” the King of the Newsboys’ Trust; and his two lieutenants are a little Chinese halfbreed and a jolly little cocn, both selling members of the trust, and for them “Dinty” puls up many a fight. A band of opium smugglers operating by aeroplane and cutter route between Mexico and Sail Francisco provide a series of thrills in the picture. There is a beautiful love interest in the story, and in this, of course, “Dinty” lias a hand, while running a little romance of his on the side. Special selections will be rendered by the Queen’s Orchestra supreme under the directorship of Madame Reggiardo. the overture being “.SailotV Chorus” (Wagner). The box plan is at the Bristol, or ’phono 1979.
