In his newest Fox Film, *Strong Bo. now at the Strand, John Ford sees to it that all these qualities are skillfully inject- ed and the result is most gratifying. Abetted by a talented cast “Strong Boy" starts out in a railroad sta- tion and ends where it began—for it isn't necessary to look elsewhere for humorous situations and riotous tangles. McLaglen, cast as a burly baggage-smasher is In love with Leatrice Joy, the newsgirl. The one obstacle to the match is Victor's smug content with his job, The vaudeville bill will have five .good acts with the Graduates, a youthful ensemble of singing and dancing with a cast of elght clever girls; Maxon and Co. will offer “Fun on a Baby Grand”; Foster and Peggy will offer a novel surprise; Paddon Edwards Co, will present their funny skit “Leave It To Ruth” and Frec- man and Seymour will be favorites “The Unhappiness Boys.

New York, March 21.—(®—The battle of the hockey playoffs starts again tonight where it left off Tues- day with very little accomplished in the way of deciding which teams are o enter the next round. The Bruins and Les Canadiens, first place wine ners in their divisions, will meet in Boston. New York's two second place teams, the Rangers and Americans, will continue their warfare on the | Madison Square Garden ice. While Detroit goes to Toronto for the second game with the Maple Leafs. The Leafs was the only one of the #ix teams engaged in the multiple world's series of hockey to gain an appreciable advantage in the open- ing night's encounters. They go into the second half of their two-game series with Detroit having a two- goal advantage. In this serles, as in the second place playoffs, the total number of goals acored counts. On their home ice Toronto is an over- whelming favorite to go into the * memi-final against one of the New York teams. Boston is one up on Les Canadiens by virtue of a single goal Tuesday night. But four more games of this serfes remain before it is decided which team will go into the final for the Stanley cup. After tonight the teams go to Montreal to com- plete the series. The New York Rangers and Americans have the prospect of a long contest before they reach a de- cision on their rivalry, which was even all through the regular season and went through the 60 minutes of the opening encounter with no ad- vantage to either team. If they are still deadlocked at the end of the regular playing time tonight, the | game will be continued until one team scores.
