THE TIVOLI
PHYLLIS OF THE FOLLIES. One of the gayest, breeziest comedies ever to grace the screen of this theatre is Phyllis of the Follies with Alice Day and Matt Moore, which will open tonight. It is one of those smartly sophisticated yarns about a chorus girl and a philandering bachelor who thinks he is making love to his attorney’s wife. Despite his resolution to eschew all chorus girls on account of his numerous breach of promise settlements, his i first real love affair concerns a member of the Follies’ chorus. The story is jammed with jolly complication and is delightfully treated by Director Ernest Laemmle who has extracted the full laugh quota from the many Tisiblo situations. The company also includes Edmund Burns, Lilyan Tashma and Duane Thompson and is one of these small but exceptionally clever casts. Phylbs of the Follies‘is 'a full evening’s entertainment for anybody'. It is. a daring revelation of the private life of a chorus girl and is the answer to the question “What do ladies of the ensemble do off the stage?” This week’s Collegians arc splendidfull of kick and excitement. Matinee to-dav at 2.30 p.m.
