TIVOLI THEATRE.

"Over the Moon."

If the essence of romance is the weaving of day-dreams into life, then Alexander Korda's "Over the Moon," which opens tomorrow at the Tivoli Theatre, is the cream of romantic stories. All the "stuff that 'romantic' dreams are made of" hkve found their way into the composition of this gay and giddy story, which discovers Merle Oberon as an impoverished orphan in Yorkshire, and dances her as a millionaire heiress across Europe. The fanciful ingredients are less important than the pace, hilarity, and comic consequences of Miss Oberon's bewildered transformation to Europe's richest playgirl. Only Merle is not really bewildered. She's stubborn, she's pig-headed, she scoops shovelfuls out of her millions, .and scatters them over her cavalcade_ of hangerson, but all the time she keeps her head, and, in spite of complications, her heart. Supported by a cast of more than fifty featured players, Walter Pidgeon and Rita Johnson are teamed for the first time in '"6000 Enemies," described as the most gripping prison drama.to reach the screen .since, the memorable "Big House" of years ago. The picture is the associate film. Daring in its scope, it is a story that could happen in any big city where the.force's'of'.vice prevail, yet one that has remained untouched on the motion picture screen until now. As it is unfolded with machine-gun rapidity it runs the gamut from Jaw and order administered in the courtrooms through underworld plottings, the framing of respectable citizens, and their ordeals within the walls of a State prison.
