TIVOLI THEATRE.

"The Great Ziegrfeld."

In "The Great Ziegfeld," which commences at the Tivoli .Theatre oh Tuesday, . motion pictures have picked up the torch where the late Florenz Zjegfeld laid it down, and have succeeded in out-Ziegfelding the great Ziegfeld himself. "The • Great Ziegfeld" has everything that a great musical picture should have. It has, in the life of Ziegfeld, a most gripping and perfect dramatic story. In its musical numbers, never before produced,. on such a scale of grandeur, it has many of the most dazzling scenes ever seenin, pictures.. In entertainment alone it rates high.l First, there are William Powell as-Ziegfeld, Myrna Loy as Billie Burke, and Luise Rainer as Anna Held. Then there are Virginia Bruce as Ziegfeld's greatest glorified Modern Girl, Frank Morgan as his rival producer, Nat Pendleton 'as Sandow, Reginald Owen as Ziggy's manager, Fannie Brice as herself, Ray Bolger and his amazing dancing feet, Harriet Hoctor, and scores of- the most beautiful . girls. The story oi|ms in Ziegfeld's youth in the dazzling Chicago World's Fair of 1893. It progresses "as Ziegfeld himself progressed, massing fortunes, to lose them and build other fortunes. But always in the foreground are the' spectacular Ziegfeld productions and his amazingly beautiful showgirls. The dance numbers never before have been equalled. The direction of Robert Z. Leonard places him among the kings, of directors and the photography by Ollie Marsh and George Folsey is a pictorial masterpiece. I - A selected supporting programmewill be shown every evening from 7 to 7.45. . . ■....;■ . . -l
