RTVOLI THEATRE,

Two Big Attractions.

Not since "Arrowsmith" has Ronald Colman has a romantice situation comparable in scope to that offered him by his latest vehicle, 20th. Century's first million dollar picture, "Clive of India," which opens. tomorrow at the Rivoli Theatre. As Robert Clive, England's greatest hero in this Darryl F. Zanuck production, Colman's romance with Loretta Young is a love idyll of married lite. But, whereas in "Arrowsmith" he was fighting the battle of science to save humanity, in "Clive of India" he fights the battle of empire, welding two great nations .of the Orient and the Occident. Also the sacrifices which Loretta Young, as Lady Clive, makes for her husband recall those which Helen Hayes made for Martin Arrowsmith. W. P. Lipscomb and R. J. Minney adapted "Clive of India" to the screen from their London stage success of the same name. Colin Clive, Francis Lister, C. Aubrey Smith, and Cesar Romero are prominent among the seventy-two principals in the cast. Warner Bros.' comedy drama "The Irish in Us" will be the second big feature. The tills, it is said, is based on traditional characteristics of the l r i s h —to alternate between laughter and tears, to jump from comedy to intense drama, to fight with those they love and love those with whom they fight. Mary Gordon, a 55-year-old Irish widow, portrays the part of an Irish mother whose three sons are Pat O'Brien, a cop; Frank McHugh, a fireman; and James Cagney, who refuses to take a steady job, but devotes himself to managing broken-down . prizefighters.
