ROXY THEATRE
TWO FINE TALKIES The Roxy’s chief attraction *s “Lucky Boy,” a romantic drama feaGeorge Jessei!, a star from the musical comedy stage of America. His personality dominates the film, and makes it ’the bright entertainment il certainly is. The hero yearns to be an actor, and leaves home to seek fortune on the boards. He makes a hit, and is engaged for a “turn” in a luxurious cafe. His voice is heard by his parents miles away on the wireless. He returns home as his mother is taken ill, and while in New York scores a distinct succ%;s on Broadway. The talking and singing is remarkably eleai*. The second feature is a Western with the popular Ken Maynard in the saddle. “The Parade of the West” has a spectacular and colourful background of one of the old-time wild west shows. It is full of action and thrills, and holds the suspense throughout. Some of the old songs of the West are revived and are pleasantly interspersed. Maynard, in this film, is seen to tame a man-killing wild horse. The star surpasses all his previous efforts in this production, and receives splendid support from Gladys McConnell and Otis Harlan. Mayinard is the first “western” star to make an all-talking picture.
