THE TIVOLI

CHARLIE MUEEAY AT TIVOLI. For thrills, chills and a thousand laughs see “Tho Gorilla” the mystery comedy melodrama with Charles Murray and Fred Kelsey, featured as tho two demon sleuths, Mulligan and Garrity. “Tho Gorilla” written by Ealph Spence as a stage play in its screen version is one of the fastest, spookiest thrillers to bo seen here in some time. “The Gorilla” himself is a weird, menacing looking ape, and every time he appears tho crowd screech as though he were right in the audience.

Anyone who has seen the stage play will recognise the cast of players and the story plot, except the ending. That has been changed so that a complete surprise is sprung when the final scene is enacted. The New screen team of Kelsey and Murray live up to their advance notices. They made a typical pair of detectives who suspect everyone in the place but themselves. An excellent cast, including Alice Day, Tully Marshall, Claude Gillingwater, Walter Pidgeon, Gaston Glass, Brooks Benedict, Aggie Herring and Sid Crossley make up tho inhabitants of the mystery house. The final episode of ‘ :Blake of Scotland Yard” will be shown and a matinee will be held to-day at 3.3 b p.m. when every child attending will be given a free pass to the first episode of “Trail of- the Tiger.”
