Another Message DARING COMEDY — DRAMA Ann Harding and Leslie Howard are co-starred in Philip Barry’s smart stage play, “The Anima! King dom,” the screen drama chosen to open the magnificent new Roxy theatre in Radio City. The foremost critics have given this picture their'highest rating. Presenting a theme that is at once daring and intriguing; dialogue that sparkles with freshness, and situa tions that are racy, "The Animal Kingdom" is declared to be superb. According to critics, it affords Miss Harding her most suitable role since •’Holiday,” and gives Howard a lati tude missing in his former screen appearances. Howard played in the stage play for well over a year, as did William Gargan, who is reported to be a real asset as a laugh producer. Neil Hamilton and Myrna Loy head the strong supporting cast. ---------- —ee DEPRESSION ADDS TO WORK OF OREGON COUNTY AGENTS. ABOUT 40 There is no six-hour day or five- acres alfalfa and pasture. R.
