That’s Universal’s super screen version of Edna Ferber’s great novel, “Show Boat,” which will be shown I at the ed Springs Theatre Monday I and Tuesday.

Schildkraut gives a notable per^ tormanee as the gentleman gambler who turns Show Boat actor because of his love for the star, and yet, white an actor, he never loses his love for the. gaming table.

Miss Fitzroy is the cause of much of the. unhappiness through her strict ness in rearing her child, yet she is a , -/y^Pathetic character for if is plainly seen that a great love' binds mother to daughter despit quarrels.
