HASTING PICTURE THEATRES.
PROGRAMMES FOR TO-NIGHT, "Pointed Heels" is Paramount's alltalkie production, played by an all-star cast with William Powell and Fay Wray in the leading roles. The success of this picture largely depends 011 the excellent casting of the characters. Phillips Holmes is perfect as the yo'ung, good-looking, musical genius, nervy and inconsiscent, yet at heart really decent, liushand of Fay Wray, the fine, sensitive, unselfish chorus girl who lias also won the love of William Powell, "tbe manager millionaire." Holmes tries to make a living composing symplionies and other classical stuff, but it is tlie simple love song wliich finally brings in the bucks for him. /' Skeets Gallaglier and Helen Kane do the clowning of tlie piece, and are received with roars of delight from tlie spectators. William Powell witli Eugene Pallette, reminiscent of the Yan Dine series, are first-rate in team work, and delightful to witness^ in the finish of their presentations. Tlie picture contains a fair amount of singing and dancing.
