PLAZA THEATRE

“LO\E OX A BET” A splendid double-feature programme combining comedy with drama is showing at the Plaza Theatre. "Love on a Bet,’’ presenting a new romantic team. Gene Raymond and Wendy Barrie, tells of the adventures of a penniless young man who journeys from New \ork to Los Angeles, clad only in his underwear, in order that he may win a bet, and finance an important theatrical venture. A condition of the bet is that on his arrival in Los Angeles, he should have provided himself with a suit of clothes, one hundred dollars, and a wife. The first of these conditions is easily fulfilled, though there is doubt as to the possibility of the second two being satisfied until the last yard of the film is passing. "The Last Outlaw,” which is the associate feature, stars Harry Carey, Hoot Gibson and Margaret Callahan. It portrays the difficulties of a man released from gaol after serving a sentence of twenty year.-’ imprisonment. Plenty of excitement is provided m the story by a party of gangsters, who are brought to check by Harry Cai ex. “Under Two Flage” The sands of the Sahara flame with revolt and France's Foreign Legion fights and loves with gallantry again in 20th Century’s "Under Two Glags,” the tremendous drama spectacle which brings Ronald Colman, Claudette Colbert, Victor McLaglen and Rosalind Russell to the screen of the Plaza Theatre on Saturday. Telling the story of a man who is brought back from a self-imposed doom by the love of a woman, the new picture affords Colman and Miss Colbert the greatest opoprtunities of their unusual screen careers. She is a hoydenish child of the desert, madly in love with the charming Colman, but he in turn gives his heart to Rosalind Russell. When Colman's commander, Victor McLaglen, finds that this soldier stands between him and Miss Colbert, he makes every effort to destroy his subordinate by placing him in posts of danger. The thundering climax shows how a Legion attack, headed by Miss Colbert, rescues Colman from the tortures of the Arabs.
