KING'S THEATRE ••KING OF BURLESQUE" Beneath the glittering colour, the haunting tunes, comedy and gay dance routines which adorn "King of Bur* Lesnuc," the Fox picture which opened •it the King's Theatre to-day, is a fascinating love drama. Presenting Warner Baxter, Alice Faye and Mona Carrie in the leading dramatic r6les, (his happy musical show boasts an allstar cast of talented performers. The story delves back-stage into the life and'loves of the people of the theatre. Warner Baxter is the. leading personality, an impresario who has brought the tcchniguo of the Fourteenth street burlesque to an enraptured .Broadway. At the height of his success he deserts his two old friends, .hick Oakic and Alice Faye, to marry the aristocratic but impoverished Mona Barrie.

The close of the picture, shows Baxter and Miss Faye happily rejoined in romantic mood.

REGENT THEATRE "STRIKE ME-PINK" "Strike Me Pink." United Artists' uproariously funny picture which is now showing at the Regent Theatre, stars the irresistible F.ddie Cantor in what- is undoubtedly his funniest role, that of a small suburban tailor, hopelessly inefficient and markedly timid, who is transformed into a man of supreme confidence and domineering personality. Several spectacular scenes are staged by the glorious "Goldwyn Girls," while catchy music and dancing all go to make "Strike M<' Pink" a huge success. An excellent supporting programme is screened.
