THE TIVOLI

THREE GOOD ONES TO-NIGHT. The effect of two contrasting things is to make both elements more than ordinarily prominent. The sharp difference between existence in the haunts of the . wealthy and in the slums of a city, both of which are featured in ‘‘Lights of Old Broadway,” a Metro Goldwyn production, results in the film being a realistic and vivid reproduction of life. It tells the life stories of two orphaned girls, one of whom becomes a cultured society figure and the other a variety actress. Marion Davies is cast in the duat role of the orphans and gives a brilliant and memorablo portrayal. Opposite Miss Davies in the strong east is Conrad Nagel, who is supported by George,, K. Arthur and other favourites. Rex, the king of wild horses, will be seen in ‘‘Hoofbcals of Vengeance.” The story concerns the love of a wild stallion for two people who befriend him in the hour of need. His method of repaying them is thrilling. The heroic figure of Rex stands out in bold relief against the villainies of A 1 Ferguson. The thrills, adventure and rides afford an evening full of exciting entertainment. The story is by Basil Dickey who has written numerous western screen plays, all of them eminently successful. The name of this western author is almost as familiar as the name of the star himself. The popular “Collegians” will be continued and a splendid evening’s entertainment is promised. A matinee will be held today at 2.30 p.m.
