KING’S THEATRE “MADEMOISELLE DOCTEUR”: LAST NIGHT The thrilling spy story. “Mademoiselle Docteur" will conclude a very successful season at the King’s Theatre to-night. —“lnternational Settlement”: Thrilling Drama To-morrow — Telling the timely story of daring Americans swept overnight into perilous adventure behind the barricades of the Orient’s amazing city within a city, “International Settlement,” 20th Century-Fox's picture opens to-mor-row at the King’s Theatre. Perhaps more thrilling than the story the headlines unfold is the one the headlines have never told, this amazing drama within a drama. Taking place right in the midst of the danger zone, the thrill-teeming story of "Iriternafional Settlement” features Dolores Del Rio, George Sanders, June Lang and Dick Baldwin, defying every nation's warning to “Get out of danger!” Each has a reason for ignoring the warning behind the barricades where refugees from the stricken metropolis desperately seek safely. The most beautiful white woman in all China, Dolores Del Rio is a glamorous figure of' mystery whose motive is to live dangerously. An American soldier of fortune, George Sanders, in the Far East as a flying instructor, remains to tempt death. Dick Baldwin is a daring newsreel cameraman, daring the destruction of the bombardment to get his pictures and to find romance with June Lang, a beautiful American tourist who proves a champion under fire. Their tangled lives and loves in the battle area, against a background of all the colour and drama that pervades the East, gives the picture a .hundred big moments.
