THEATRE ROYAL
•TILLY AND GUS ” AND “WHARF ANGEL” Theatre Royal patrons will secure more than value for their money this evening with the excellent double programme that will be available to them. Having stolen pictures from practically every star in Hollywood, W. C. Fields and Alison Skipworth are now trying to steal a picture from each other. These two lovable rascals are together m a Paramount picture called “Tillie and Gus.” They play the roles of card sharps who, after emptying wallets and dodging sheriffs all the way from Shanghai to Nome, arrive back home to find their niece and her husband practically penniless due to the skinflint methods of ? lawyer. They decide to give the lawyer a bit of his own medicine, help themselves to a fortune, and bring happiness to the young couple. How they do it by means of a diving suit and an old ferry-boat furnishes the film with a score of hilarious moments. A brand new screen leading woman, Dorothj' Dell, makes her initial screen appearance in “Wharf Angel,” which tells a dramatic love story of the early days of San Francisco’s waterfront, when a man’s best friends were his two fists and a six-gun.
