GRAND
“THE GAY DECEIVER” Transferred from the stage to the screen, “The Gay Deceiver,” the famous legitimate success known as “Toto,” offers splendid and intelligent entertainment at the Grand Theatre. Lew Cody heads the cast in the title role. He gives a distinguished performance as a Parisian boulevardier. Dorothy Phillips plays opposite Cody in the role of the wife who was tolerant enough to forgive the flirtations of her husband and begin all over again. Others in the cast include Carmel Myers and Roy D’Arcy, Malcolm McGregor and Marceline Day. There are two love stories in “The Gay Deceiver,” one the re-established romance of the estranged parents, and the other is of warm and vigorous youth, fighting its Way through obstacles tc a glamorous goal of destiny. Both are finely done by Cody and Miss Phillips as the adults, and by Malcolm McGregor and Miss Day as the youngsters. The story has a background of Paris and France, and there are particularly interesting scenes of back-stage theatre life in the French capital, where “Toto” is an idolised favourite.
