“The' Cock-eyed World,” based on the story by Laurence Stallings and Maxwell Anderson, who co-authored the unforgettable “What Price Glory,” reveals the love affairs of a couple of hardboiled Marines with Don ' Juan complexes. Edmund Lowe and Victor McLaglen are red-blooded fighters who are weak with women, and Lily Damita, Lelia Karnelly .and Jean Bary comprise a trio of beauties worth fighting This picture, commencing at the , King’s Theatre to-day, has all the ingredients which go to make appealing all talking entertainment. There is comedy, sentiment, pathos, romance, thrills and one of the most notable cast iu recent screen history.

ELTHAM TALKIES.

“THE VAGABOND LOVER.”

There are few persons who have not heard of Rudy Vallee, orchestral leader, crooner of songs, radio idol of millions, and to-night patrons will have an opportunity of hearing. Rudy in an entirely different role—-that of an actor. He is featured in Radio Pictures’ alltalking, singing, dancing comedy-drama, “The Vagabond Lover,” his first feature length screen play. Playing opposite him is Sally Blane, The Connecticut Yankees, Rudy Vallee’s noted orchestra, appear in the picture and furnish the complete orchestration. Radio Pictures’ famous dancing girls are featured in a number of lavish dance ensembles. “The Vagabond Lover,” written by James Creelman junr., parallels in theme the actual life story of Rudy Vallee, who has climbed by his musical ability from a country boy, son of a New England druggist, to the nation’s radio, night club and talking picture idol. This picture is remarkable, well recorded and the instrumental and song items are perfect.
