“THE LITTLE WILD CAT” Commercial aviation plays an important part in the plot of “The Little Wildcat,” the Warner Bros.’ talking production now showing at the Tivoli Theatre. Tho story is modern, and lias its locale in the South. Audrey Ferris and Doris Dawson, who portray leading roles in the production, appear as wilful sisters, while their grandfather, played by George Fawcett, appears as a crotchety Civil War veteran. Aviation enters the story with the attempts of a manufacturer of airplanes to locate a factory and airport in the community over which Fawcett, as the irascible Judge Holt, tyrannically presides. The judge has a natural dislike for aviation, and when he finds that his granddaughters are being courted by a flyer, his wrath knows no bounds. The plot develops with Aliss Ferris and Miss Dawson vying for the favour of the flyer, and finally putting the judge to rout with a daring coup that forces him to sanction the commercial enterprise. James Alurray appears as the flyer, Hallam Cooley as the local swain intent upon captivating one of the granddaughters, and Robert Edeson plays the harassed but devoted wartime friend and servant of the judge. ' r he Tivoli’s new programme ema number of excellent talkie shorts.
