AMUSEMENTS.

ROXY-TIVOUL Sally Eilers shows herself to be a dramatic actress of quality in "The Nurse From Brooklyn/' featured on the programme which begins & season at the Roxy and Tivoli Theatres to-morrow. Miss Eilers is co-starred with Panl Kelly, while also prominent in the cast are Larry Blake, Maurice Murphy and David Oliver. Combining exciting adventure with romance, the picture also drives home the lesson that "crime doesn't pay" with dramatic intensity. Paul Kelly is cast as Jim Barnes, a hard-boiled detective on the trail of Larry Craine (Larry Blake), gangster sweetheart of hospital nurse Elizabeth Thomas, played by Sally Eilers. Elizabeth _ Thomas falls in love with Barnes while nursing him in hospital, and the story tells of her struggle between a sense of duty to her former sweetheart and her love for Barnes. The associate feature, "Dance, Charlie, Dance," is an amusing comedy of the adventures of a stage-struck "hick" from the country who has inherited a fortune and goes to Broadway to try to satisfy his life-long ambition to become a "trouper." Stuart Erwin has the leading role and he is supported by Jean Muir, Glenda Farrell and Allen Jenkins. AMUSEMENT GTJXDE. H.M. THEATRE—Hollywood Hotel Revue. PICTURE THEATRES.
