TIVOLI

“THE DIXIE FLYER” She’s beautiful, she’s intelligent, she wears clothes like a million dollars — and she can act! All of which sounds incredible —but the fact remains it’s true. Which, if you are a film fan you will readily admit when we tell you we refer to no less a personage than Eva Novak. The radiantly lovely Eva has been seen in many interesting pictures in the past, but never in one which did more complete justice to her talents —that is, if reports which we have heard are founded upon truth —than “The Dixie Flyer,” a Rayart Superior Melodrama, which is announced for presentation at the Tivoli Theatre tomorrow. Eva is cast as Rose Rapley, the fearless daughter of a railroad president, who is enmeshed in a web of trickery and deceit. Rose jumps in to help her dad out of a tight hole, and finds herself bound by the same tentacles. How she frees herself and her father —with the aid of “Sunrise” Smith —from every difficulty which beset them, is splendidly told in a story written as only H. H. Van Loan can write, and produced by an organisation which is justly proud of the position it occupies. Besides Miss Novak, the cast also includes Cullen Landis, Ferdinand Munier, John Eliot, A. Richard Rowlands and Pat Harmon. It is said that each one of the players was chosen especially to fit his role as the author conceived it.
