ROXY AND TIVOLI
Bristling with action and sparkling with fun, "Champagne for Breakfast" heads to-morrow's change of fare at the Roxy and Tivoli Theatres. Taking its audiences on a whirlwind tour through lavish night clubs, this film is as bubbling and merry as the wine itself. It is the story of a young lawyer with no clients who gives up his office to serve subpoenas at a few dollars each. He is obliged to serve one on the father of two young women; tile father dies, however, leaving only a lease for a seemingly worthless ranch in California, which he had bought from a racetrack promoter. The promoter becomes anxious to get it back to _ make a tremendous profit by selling it as a racetrack site. Many are the complications which arise and laughs, thrills and romance are blended into excellent allround entertainment. Mary Carlisle, Hardie Albright, Joan Marsh and Lila Lee take the leading parts and are brougat a step nearer to stardom by their liveiy acting, which is finished in every detail. The direction is fast and intelligent, helping t 0 make a performance that is light without being shallow, gay but not boringly so, and dramatic enough to lipid every audience in tense interest. The supporting film is "Dinky," with Jackie Cooper, Roger Pryor and Mary Astov. Human interest is blended with comedv in this story of a boy whose mother is sent to gaol on false charges. There is a thrilling climax when Jackie saves his side in a football game.
