External: 'Hell Harbor' (dir. Henry King, United Artists) was released March 15, 1930.

Reasoning The ad names Loew's, Akron, OH explicitly and the film 'Hell Harbor', identifiable by its cast (Lupe Velez, Jean Hersholt, John Holland). No exact play-date is printed, so this is bounded to the month following the film's March 15, 1930 national release, a typical window for a neighborhood/regional Loew's booking to reach a mid-sized market like Akron.

Reasoning The bill pairs Hell Harbor (released 1930-03-15, A026) with Laurel & Hardy's Brats (released 1930-03-22, A027); both must already be in release, so the booking follows the later date. (anchors: A026, A027)
