PLAZA THEATRE
■ "*»' — ——— “DR. SYN” ! The story of “Dr. Syn,” George Arjliss’ new starring film, which concludes to-day at the Plaza Theatre, is full of action. It deals with the smuggling exploits of a well-known Kentish fishing village more than 100 years ago; it has humour, tension and excitement, and shows Arliss in a completely new type of role. Pretty Inineteen-year-old Margaret Lockwood, jwho appears as George Arliss’ daughter, is looked upon as one of Britain's 'greatest star discoveries. “Wings of the Morning’* | “Wings of the Morning,” the first
British technicolour production, is td begin a return season to-morrow at the Plaza Theatre. This outstanding production is the screen version ol stories from Donn Byrne's memorable “Destiny Bay,” and the colourful Irish setting permits the ready introduction of some of the most beautiful scenes ever photographed in technicolour. The leading feminine role was assigned to the French screen player Annabella, and she is responsible for a really magnificent portrayal. Her part is that of a Gipsy girl who escapes from Spain in throes of a revolution, to Ireland, where her people had lived several generations before. The part of the handsome young Irish horse trainer with whom the girl falls in love is taken in highly creditable mainer by Henry Fonda.
