KING'S THEATRE

TO-NIGHT ANI) MONDAY. Australian. film production lias come into its own. With international stars heading the cast, expert British technicians behind the production, and a story no tnit Australian can fail to appreciate “The Flying Doctor” now at the King’s Theatre starring Charles Farrell, with. Alary Maguire, and a magnificent supporting cast*. The story has for its theme two dramas. Sandy Nelson (Charles Farrell) is a wanderer. Casual, tireless,

insurably restless, ever on the lookout for wider horizons, he typifies the Australian and lie is a man whom none could fail to like, and trust. By chance he meets little Jenny Rutherford (Alary Alaguire), and before liis true spirit, momentarily drugged by the sweet romance, can re-awaken to assort itself, he is married to her. But the eagle cannot be pinioned. He disappears, and after vicissitudes in Sydney, working at casual jobs*, and lighting for a crust in the wrestling ring, he heads for out-l>ack again. And this time lit- is lucky. He and his little pal, “Dodger” (Joe Valli). strike gold. The story of Sandy's love is interwoven with the drama of the Aerial Aledical Service. The Flying Doctor (James Raglan) who has Cloncum* as his base, is Sandy's friend, and their lives are inevitably linked by an intriguing twist of fate. A great story, the greatest cast ever asembled in an Australian studio. superb direction. lighting and effects, have inside a film that will make history, not only in its native land, but overseas, for which wide market it is catering. Certainly no Australian should miss it.
