TIVOLI
“TEMPLE TOWER” Novelty—a factor often missing in screen offerings—is the keynote of “Temple Tower,” the unique screen murder mystery comedy melodrama, which is now at the Tivoli Theatre. Fox Movietone, which produced this all-talking picture, wisely advertised it as “melodrama as you like it,” and thus achieved the double purpose it must have had in mind during the making of the lilm. For “Temple Tower” is at once a chilly melodrama or a subtle force, as you wish: those who like the good old appeal of suspense and danger and terror and ingenious, if dastardly, attempts to terminate the hero’s existence, will find “Temple Tower” ideal. But the more sophisticated will see the picture as an infinitely clever “take off” on just this same sort of production, • and th© film consequently is unique in its appeal to two. widely separated classes of theatregoers. The Tivoli’s current programme also includes “Sweetie,” a charming romance of young love at college, starring Nancy Carroll.
