'KING’S THEATRE, STRATFORD. “THE GIRL IN THE SHOW.” “Little Eva,” struck with a “tummy ache” in the midst of her tenderest moment, the death-bed scene in “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” brings “.The Girl in the Show” to the greatest peak of the fun those will enjoy who see this Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer all talking picture when it plays at the King’s Theatre to-night. Leading up to that scene and away from it, Edgar. Selwyn, the director, "ives a number of moments of huge enjoyment as the tattered little Toni troupe passes through phases of extreme poverty, a decamping manager and rekindled hope. The sure and confident direction of the piece was a forc"one conclusion. Edgar Selwyn, who directed it as a talking picture, produced it originally as a stage play under the title of “Eva, the Fifth.”
