“SIX HOURS TO LIVE.” AT THE KING’S TO-NIGHT. “Six Hours to Live,” which gives the popular Warner Baxter the most dramatic role of his career on the screen, will be the film feature on the King’s Theatre programme this evening. Sharing top-line honours with Baxter are John Boles and Miriam Jordan, the latter a beautiful young English actress, who makes her screen debut in this Fox Film production. Briefly, it deals with a dramatic episode of international history, in which Baxter, as the representative of a small republic, successfully prevents the efforts of plotters to ruin his country and plunge the world into another disastrous war. The plotters succeed in accomplishing Baxter’s death and are prepared to go through with their nefarious scheme, when he re-appears, the hand of death miraculously stayed for six hours by the discovery of an eccentric old scientist. Clara Bow Returns. “Call Her Savage,” to be shown to-morrow afternoon and evening, will reveal a iicav Clara Bow to pic-ture-goers. Not the “It Girl of the Screen,” or “That Red Head,” or “That Collegiate Hoyden,” or “The Brooklyn,” or even “The Living Symbol of the Jazz Age.” Well over a year has elapsed since the famous Bow personality has been seen on the screen, a year of refreshing rest and study during which time the famous star stored up the needed energy and vital forces which she is said to release in fullflood during the unfolding of this stirring romantic drama. In the main, the loveliness of features and expressions that has endeared Miss Boav to the public, remains, but to replace the mad-cap flapper ways that marked her earlier screen portrayals she is reported to possess a iicav self-control, a poise and dignity that mark this picture as the first triumph of her maturing art. The plot of the picture relates, briefly, the dramatic struggle of an impulsive girl to control the half' savage temper Avhich is her fiery birthright, and thereby find the one true love she craves. “SideshoAA',” an uproarious circus picture featuring Winnie Lightner and Charles Buttenvorth, Avill be screened on Thursday and Friday next.
