OPERA HOUSE AT LAST. TO-NIGHT AND TO-MORROW AT 7.45. THE PICTURE THAT DOESN’T BEAT ABOUT THE BUSH. The picture that is a scathing rebuke to the motley army of jazz babies—good guys—sweet mammas—and all the rest of the steaming array that masquerades in the fair name of Good Fellowship. “ALIMONY” “ALIMONY” “ALIMONY” The picture that rips home with sledge-, hammer blows that strike terrifically at the very roots of our greatest modern evil—a shrieking admonition to a shrieking jazz-crazed world. “ALIMONY” “ALIMONY” With WARNER BAXTER, GRACE DARMOND, RUBY MILLER. JACKIE SAUNDERS, “Alimony” tells the story of a modern wife, who through her husband’s rise to success, is thrown into the world of high lights and sensuous pleasure. She is equal to the occasion, but watches her husband succumb to the temptations strewn in his path. _He is about to pay the penalty for his folly, but his wife intervenes. “Alimony” is one of the greatest and most convincing stories brought to the screen.

The London Press said:— “Not often can it be said truly of a musical debut that it CAUSED A SENSATION, yet literally, a very considerable sensation was created by the singing of the Don Cossack Choir. Not a word of the praise sting by the critics in Berlin, Leipsig, Munich, Dresden and elsewhere, was exaggerated.” —Daily Telegraph, March 16, 1925. The Australian Press added:— THE AGE.—“The audience was completely taken by storm. The applause was vociferous.” THE ARGUS.—“To miss hearing and seeing the Don Cossacks would be to miss a unique and delightful experience.” Box Plan at the Opera House TO-DAY.
