Kixema Guide January 19th to 25th. "LOOSE ENDS" DRAMATIC BRITISH TALKING FILM. THE British film version of the stage play of "Loose Ends" by Dion Titheradge should prove very popular, particularly as the east includes such well-known British stars as Owen Xares, Edna Best, Miles Mander, Adrianne Allen, Donald Calthrop and J. Eisher White. Owen Xares, as Malcolm Forres, plays the part of the embittered down-and-out w h o is knocked down by the car of an ultra-modern actress. A love affair develops and they marry. Disaster comes however, when it is revealed that Malcolm Forres has previously served a long term in prison for the murder of the betrayer of his sister. Divorce looms ahead and the disillusioned Malcolm drifts back to the hopeless state in which his wife found him. Despite what the world may say, however, she eventually returns to him and together they face a happier future. This film is the first big taikie in which Owen Xares has appeared and the London settings will also make a special appeal to English audiences. From the dramatic standpoint "Loose Ends" is powerful and moving. Captain Norman Walker has directed this picture, which gives the splendid cast good scope to display their abilities. It is also refreshing to hear well-recorded English voices. 6 Adrianne Allen, who plays in "Loose Ends," with Edna Best and Owen Narss.
