TIVOLI AND EVERYBODY’S

“CLEAR THE DECKS” Reginald Denny’s latest and most uproarious comedy, “Clear the Decks,” continues to delight the audiences at the Tivoli and Everybody’s Theatres. Denny portrays the part of a young millionaire, recently returned from an extensive trip to Africa, who falls in love with a strange girl whom he sees in a dining-room of an exclusive hotel. He is unable to ascertain her name, but learns that she is sailing that day for an ocean voyage. He is unable to secure passage on the same boat, but comes across a friend of his who is booked to take the cruise for his health, and does not want to go. Denny changes places with him, sails under his name, ana promises not to reveal the fraud. One can picture his consternation when ne learns, on board ship, that he is supposed to be a mentally unsound invalid. The antics of the sparkling Denny in this situation and the fact that he is mistaken for a detective d two jewel thieves, who are taking tnsame boat, combine to furnish one o. the most hilarious comedies that hav, appeared here in many months. An excellent comedy-drama on tn moral of the eighth commandment n screened as the second attraction a* both theatres. . M It was a film entitled “Thou Snai Not Steal,” and featured the versa ti* English actress, Lilian Harvey, was renowned for her series of com iZ dies illustrating the Adventures o Mazie.
