RIVOLI THEATRE.

"The Young in Heart."

The most fascinating family that ever menaced a heart —or a bankroll —is coming to the Rivoli Theatre tomorrow. They are the charming Carletons in David O. Selznick's comedy romance "The Young in Heart," starring Janet Gaynor. Douglas Fairbanks, Dun., and Pulette Goddard. Prominently featured in the supporting cast of this film based on the I. A. R. Wylie "Saturday Eyening Post" serial, "The Gay Banditti," are Roland "Topper" Young, Billie "Mrs. Topper" Burke, Henry Stephenson, popular character actor, Richard Carlson, romantic newcomer from the New York stage, and Minnie Dupree, for more than four decades a popular Broadway actress. Janet Gaynor has a new type of role in "The Young in Heart" as the daughter who helps her adventurous family chisel their way from the fun-loving Riviera to London, and whose loyalty to them almost costs her the love of her highly-principled young millionaire fiance (Richard Carlson). What happens to a temperamental screen star who allows a rash Press agent to stage a series of wild stunts to publicise her pictures forms the theme of "The Affairs of Annabel," the associate film. The stunts are theoretical means for attaining publicity, but always develop unexpected results in practice. The ensuing troubles between the two principals rock the film with hilarity. These troubles include such worries as gaol sentences, dangerous implications with hunted criminals, and kidnapping Jack Oakie and Lucille Ball top the cast. *
