ROXY-TIVOLI PROGRAMME
To-night's entertainment on the Rox.v----1 ivoli roster is the essence of action melodrama. Gene Antry gets into enough fights in "The YcdeUin' Kid from Pine Ridge"' to entertain anyone who does not enjoy cowboy singing, at which cinematic art Hollywood boasts no better exponent than the same homely Gene. With the Antry film there is "Coastguard,"' a powerful melodrama of the United States coascal patrol __ service starving Randolph Scott, with Frances Dee as feminine lead. Tomorrow's change of programme will bring Aneklanders first release of "The Fighting Gringo, - ' another riding-shooting-fighting picture, with the virile George O'Brien filling top spot on the bill. Lupiita Tovar, charmer of the silent screen days, is his leading lady. Her tempestuousness suits the film's locale perfectly—it all happens near the Mexican border. Also, there's an interlude of fiesta dancing that should prove a colourful change. With "The Fighting Gringo" is jet another "horse opera."' "Overland Express." The prime favourite of all present-day Western actors, Buck Jones, is the star.
