Klxema Guide January igth to 25th. "LADIES OF LEISURE" THIS talking film is adapted from the stage play by David Belasco, and gives Barbara Stanwyck and Ralph Graves a good opportunity to develop their acting abilities. The story tells of a young artist who sees more in one of his models than appears on the surface. The boy's father objects to the girl for social reasons and rather than ruin her lover's future she decides to go to Havana witli an admirer. As the boat leaves, however, remorse at deserting the man who loves her makes her attempt suicide by jumping overboard. She is saved at the last minute, and the artist hearing of her action realises her great love for him and rushes to the hospital where she has been taken. Here they are happily re-united. The :G" Sisters in "Recaptured Love," to be seen this week. Sue Carol & Eddie Phillips in "Dancing Sweeties" an amusing film which is at several suburban halls. A "PERSONALITY" X amusing comedv, well-plaved, that makes an excellent li<<ht film. Johnny Arthur plays the role of an ambitious salesman who marries Lil Morse (Sally Starr). Becoming too ambitious he gets into trouble and is sacked by his firm after having established himself and Lil in a luxurious flat.
