In the new version of the famous Mark Twain clas- sie, Rogers starts out as a small town radio dealer. ' He delivers a battery to a mysterious mansion on the hill one stormy night, The owner of the house hopes to tune his huge radio set in on sound waves which have heen batting around in the ether since the be- ginning of time. He tunes in on what appears to be King Arthur's Court. There is a terrific flash of lightning, and Rogers wakes up ia the sixth eentury, right in the middle of the Round Table. He narrowly escapes burning at' the stake and then, through his native Yankee sagacity, be- comes the Prime Minister. He in- troduces many novel improve- ments in the scheme of lifq of the aneients, including a service sta- tion for armored knights where they may be washed, polished, oll- ed and their rivets checked in a minute's time. Efficiency. That's the word. Other novel impwove- ments, too numerous to mention, enliven the kingdom and Rogers sopn becomes the . Big Shot of Camelot. His many improvements bring many sereamingly funny situa- tiens and finally, Sir Sagramor, jealous of Rogers' popularity, challenges him to a joust in the big tournament.

He becomes involved in another series of adventures that climaxes in the most side-splitting laugh of the picture, Rogers is surrounded by a cap- able supporting cast which in- cludes Maureen O'Sullivan, Frank Albertson, Myrna Loy, William Farnum, Mitchell Harris and Brandon Hurst. The direction by David Butler is the best he ever has done, and far exceeds his work on "Sunny Side Up" and "Just Imagine." "Kick In" Clara Bow, herself, is the big kick in "Kick In," the Willard Mack drama on the talking screen, which comes to the Regent Thea- tre next week, At last the red-haired "It" star steps out of her customary char- acter and flashes gn the screen a glimpse of the fiery Bow emotions, "Kick In," Clara's first dramat- ic vehicle for the talkies, is a mighty, punchful story of love versus the law. It deals with the struggles of an ex-convict, Regis Toomey, to "go straight," in spite of the hounding of a vicious de- tective, the pleadings of his under- world friends, and the temptations of the "easy" road. Clara ig the motivating force in the story, as the sweetheart who opposes her charms to the forees that try to drag the man she loves back to a life of crime. Toomey, in role, has, in "Kick Tn," a role that ffers him many more opportun- ities for distinction than did his most famous part in "Alibi," in which he won coast-to-coast ac- claim. He is a fine dramatic act- or, with an air of believableness about him, The drama of "Kick In" is shared between him and Clara. Its 'success is chiefly theirs. But an excellent supporting cast and a splendid directorial mind contribute added effective. ness to "Kick In"s"" drama. Wyn- ne Gibson, Juliette Compton and Leslie Fenton head a brilliant ar- ray of supporting players. The direction was in the hands of Richard Wallace, whose uncanny ability for heightening dramatic effects, observed in his recent drama with Ruth Chatterton, The world's: most | successful creator of laughs--turning 'em out faster than ever in a mew and merry 'comedy of old and merry Eng- land. MON NDAY TUESDAY CLARA BOW in "KICK IN"" 'WILLARD MACK'S SENSATIONAL STAGE PLAY the leading male 4 EGG OUTPUT IN CANADA LOWER Western Prices Show Def- inite Upward Trend Ottawa, June 11.-«Chief centre of interest on Canadian exg mar- kets has shifted during the past week from the larger consuming centres of the east to the produc- ing areas of the West, states a market report issued by the Dom- inion Department of Agriculture. Montreal and Toronto have ex- perienced a dull, easy trend to ogg markets during the week. In the West, however, the tone -of trading has been strong. Production throughout the en- tire western half of Canada is falling rapidly and despite lack of a lead in price advances from the east, quotations throughout the West are showing a definite upward trend. The erux of the improved situa- tion in the West is seen in the fil ures of interprovincial egg ship- ments. For the week ending May 30 such shipments were al- most 8,000 cases lighter than the corresponding week last year Again, during the week closing June 6 interprovincial shipments were lighter than a year ago, the figures being 165,964 cases for the current year compared tg 18,000 cases in 1930. These figures indicate a definite falling in production and a rela- tively sharp drop as compared to last year. In British Columbia, for the second week in succession, only ome car was shipped out of the Province. Northern Alberta, which for some time past has been a heavy egg shipper, had not one car out during the past week. Shipments out of Manitoba and Saskatckewan were heavier than last. week, but not sufficiently so to bring the total up to last year's figure. The firmest spot in the entire market at present is in British Columbia. The market in the Coast Province is now almost in- dependent of outside influence and values have undergone two advances during the past week which have brought prices up to within six cents of a year ago. Some indication of the relative strength of the British Columbia market is shown by the fact that at the three othér principal mar- kets, Winnipeg, Montreal and To- ronto, prices are still 11 to 12 cents below those prevailing at this time in 1930. Figures issued by the Mont- real Board of Trade give storage egg holdings in that city on June 1 as 80,629 cases, compared with 102,120 cases a year ago. At Toronto, according to the Cana- dian Produce Association, hold- ings on June 1 were 80,386 cases in comparison to 68,7561 cases last year, The total holdings in Montreal and Toronto are, theres fore, substantially below last year. Winnipeg on the other hand reports storage holdings on June 1 at 53,517 cases, compared to 34,152 cases in 1930. "Early this season," the report goes on, "it was predicted that there would he a shortage of fresh eggs early this fal and an early heavy outward movement of storage stocks. Present de- velopments point to a fulfilment of this prediction. The market. ing of hens has fallen off in On- tarfo and British Columbia, but there have been heavy fowl mar- ketings recently in the Prairies, indicating that some flock depfle- tion is still taking place." "The Right to Love," full display. ; "Kick In," long a favorite as a stage play, is even more effect- iv on the talking screen where the dramatic changes of scene, and the fleeting moods of its charac- ters are more directly and swiftly projected. It is swift, tense, emo tional drama, a splendid back: ground for the new Bow charms. has here Vancouver Liquor 2 Runner Is Seized Vancouver, B.C., June 11.-- The Vancouver motor boat, Lu- pene A,, and her cargo of alco- hol, valued at more than $20,000 were seized and two men arrest- ed, in an encounter between cus- toms officers and alleged smug- glers in lonely Klaskimo Inlet, on the west coast of Vancouver Island last Thursday.

Its romance, poignancy and heartbreaking prison scenes held a first-night audience enthrall- ed. And the next day the most carping New York newspapet crit- ics hastened to acclaim it a tremen- dously powerful and moving epic of the theatre, The judgment of the critics was confirmed by the award of the Theatre Cigb Trophy to "The Criminal Code" as the best play of the year. "This play was bought by Columbia Pictures at an enormous price and its screen ver- sion is showing at the New Martin Theatre.
