KING'S THEATRE.

FINALLY TO-NIGHT. Janies Gleason, who has portrayed the blustering Inspector Oscar Piper in all the previous screen adventures of Oscar and his feminine aide, Hildegardc Withers, again enacts the role in RKO Radio s newest detective thriller, “The Plot Thickens.” A new Hildegar.de, however, makes her bow in the new offering with Zasu Pitts playing the part of the sharp-tongued school teacher, Edna May Oliver impersonated Hildegarde in the first three pictures featuring the sleuthing duo, “Penguin Pool Murder,” “Murder on a Blackboard” and “Murder on a. Honeymoon,” and Helen Broderick took up the role in tho fourth adventure, “Murder on a Bridle Path.” With the fluttering Miss. Pitts teamed with the cigarchewing Gleason, the comedy situations of the new offering are said to be the most hilarious to date. The plot deals with the daring effort of a gang of jewel thieves to steal the famous Cellini Cup. and it attains new heights in suspense and excitement before the surprising climax is reached. Owen Davis. Jr., Louise Latimer, Richard Tucker, Margaret Armstrong and other favourites are in th© supporting cast, directed by Ben Holmes. Like its predecessors, the story is by Stua-t Palmer

Also screening “Powder Smoke Range.” featuring Harry Cr-ev. Hoot Gibson. Guinn (Big Boy) Williams and William Farnum.
