Ann Dvorak is the target in a knife-throwing act in a circus. She runs away from her tormentor and takes refuge In Chevalier's home on the roof-tops.

They fall in love and from then on the story concerns the pitfalls and disappointments they encounter in their struggle to gain happiness. An entirely new and different Barbara Stanwyck will also be seen in "Ever in My Heart." She appears as a New England girl of strong character and moral fiber assailed by cruel fate. She is married, to a German professor and she is torn between duty to her husband and duty to her country when the great conflict of 1914-18 throws the world into chaos.

It is none other than Andy Devine, who is the slim boy's cowhand partner. "Horse Play" is a perfect medium for the droll humor of Summer-ville and Devine Is an excellent foil. Locale of the film moves from the dusty range of the Montana cow country to the fog-veiled countryside of an English medieval castle.

Much of the naturally fast action of the film is enlivened by the ridiculous situations in which Slim's horse, Angela, is found. "King for a Night," also showing, tells the story of a small town boy (Chester Morris), son of- a clergyman, his sister and the girl he loves, both of whom cheat at love and bring nothing but sorrow to him. At the height of his career, when he holds wealth and adulation in his hand, he is overwhelmed by the wrongdoing of his loved ones. Helen Twelvetrees, Alice White, John Miljan and Grant Mitchell have the supporting roles.

Double bills will be featured from now on with the weekly programs changing every Friday. "Convention City," the main attraction which opened yesterday, sets a fast and furious pace at the start nd never slackens for an instant during the entire film. Our first glimpse of the cast shows them en route to Atlantic City America's principal locale for salesmen's conventions. From then on until they finally straggle back to their trains en route for home the action is packed with laughs and romantic situations as the individual salesmen pack as much fun as possible into their week of convention fun.

"Before Midnight," the added feature, will more than send the chills running up and down your spine. For sheer, unadulterated thrills, this mystery film has few equals.

She imports every good-looking engineer or designer that looks good to her, and when he has become her slave she exiles him to some out-of-the-way sub-office where he is left alone to wonder at his sudden and disastrous love affair. Her method works very well In every case until George Brent appears on the scene.
