“The Imposter” at Tivoli
Real, honest-to-gosh crook drama that is realistic without being overdone and thrilling without being ridiculous, is a scarce thing, but. in “The Impostor.” now showing at the Tivoli Theatre, the cinema fan who appreciates magnificent acting woven with a convincing and swift-moving story can get a thousand per cent, on his investment. Evelyn Brent, the petite star, is at her best in this throbbing film as the rich girl who impersonates a crook to save her brother from the penitentiary, and the material is directed with telling effect by Chet Withcy. Life-like shots in a New York gambling den, vivid character portrays, a fight between the reporter and the jewel thief that will leave the spectators’ fingcr-prTiits on the arms of their chairs, the whole interwoven with a tense atmosphere, are the outstanding features of this production, which is bringing the Evelyn Brent fans out in a body. Those who like red-blooded action will do well to see this picture before it leaves. Lucky matinee will bo held to-day at 2.30 p.m.
