“King Kong” Coming
Theatre Tomorrow
_
Never has Beauty had such an
amazing champion as the Beast
which fights for Fay Wray in RKO
Radio Pictures’ ‘King Kong,’ coming
attraction at the Dream Theatre on
Tuesday and Wednesday.
In this sensational film is an ape
fifty feet tall—taller than the jungle
trees in which he places her while he
protects her, in ferocious combat,
from weird and huge dinosaurs and
a pterodactyl, a winged horror that
tries to steal her.
But the terrors that beset the girl
and Robert Armstrong and Bruce
Cabot, in the jungles, are magnified
when they take the great ape to
New York.
Thinking the girl in danger, ‘King
Kong* breaks his iron bonds and
runs wild through the city. Traffic,
elevated railways, buildings suffer
from the strength of this prehistoric
animal with the strength of a loco
motive.
For the greatest thrill you have
ever seen reserve the climax in
which, from atop the highest build
ing in the world, ‘King Kong’ bat
tles with his fist the pursuit planes
that are trying to kill him by pump
ing him full of machine gun bullets!
FOR SALE—Two room furnished
cabin, first door east of Federated
church parsonage. For information
apply at cabin.
