PLAZA THEATRE

“HIS NIGHT OUT” “’His Night Out,” presenting a devil-may-care Edward Everett Horton —a man who defies police cross-exami-nations and third degrees, : .e wrath of his employer and the death threats or gangsters —is now showing at the Plaza Theatre. Supporting Horton in the unusual characterisation a r e Irene Hervey, Robert MvWade, Jack La Rue Willard Robertson, Oscar Apfel, and Clara Kimball Young. Horton starts out as a purchasing agent for a chain drug company. Told by a quack [ hysiclan that he’ll die within tthrae months, he starts having fun and getting into plenty of trouble. “A Message to Garcia” Out of the story of th«* true adventure that changed the destiny of three nations has been created fanciful, colourful entertainment, full of glamorous romance, high adventure, and magnificent courage, and presonGng three great stars, together for the first time, in their greatest roles. The picture is “A Message to Garcia,” inspired by Elbert Hubbard’s immortal essay, coming to the Plaza Theatre to-morrow, with Wallace Beery, Barbara Stanwyck, and John Boles brought together in the starring roles. Boles is trie man entrusted with the message, seeking Garcia somewhere «n the tropical interior of Cuba. Aided by Beery, n. clownish renegade, he sets off into the dangerous jungle until the? meet Barbara fitaufvyck, who offers to lead them

, to Garcia. The hardships, the perils, | 3 and adventures these three share to- ‘ gether in the jungle take up the major * portion of the picture. When Beery in- ■ advertently leads Boles into the trap I of Hale, a villainous spy, the roistering 3 climax of the picture is contrived, ■ bringing the lovers together and the II picture to a happy close.
