AMUSEMENTS

KING’S THE ATE E. BIG PROGRAMME. “Four genera tons of Hicks have lived in this house anil wo ain’t leavin’ now.” With those words Old Man Hicks breathes defiance to Old Man Peagle and a bloody feud in the Kentucky mountains is on in “The P'g Killing,” the Paramount Wallace Beery-Raymoud Hatton team comedy .now playing at the King’s Theatre. The Hicks and the Beagles had quit “feuding” for the more profitable pastime of making corn dicker’, but, when one of the Beagle buys, finds bis sister in the arms of young Jim Hicks, the stills get a rest and tide rifles come into use; again.

Be.ery ami Hatton are, as usual, the round pegs iu the square holes. They stumble into the thick of the feud when they think they are landing a soft job. Then they find themselves .busier than they have ever been before, dodging bullets. They tumble through a trap door in the woods and land in tho Beagle’s cellar still. Then they have to try their skill as foht racers again when the Beagles discover their hiding place. Mary Brian takes tho role of the Beagle girl, who starts the mountains to ringing with gunshot reports when she lets Jim Hicks kiss her. Gardner James is the fortunate Jim Hicks, and Lane. Chandler is the other Hicks boy. Among others hi the cast are Anders Randolph and Paul McAllister.

Episode 7 of the serial ..Blake ot Scotland Yard,” will also be shown.
