RIVOLI THEATRE.

"CHve of India."

One of the most beautiful and powe» ful love stories to reach the screen commences on Tuesday at the Rivoli Theatre. Ronald Colman and Loretta Young.are the principals and "Clive of India" is the vehicle. This true story of Robert Clive, a poor young clerk in the East India Company, who conquered an Empire at 26 and became England's greatest hero, only to see his star fall when the woman he loved had drifted from his' side, is more than a great love story—it is a reflection of a life of truly heroic proportions, of staggering achievement, attained be-? cause a man believed in his own destiny. The play of the same name on which the screen play is based enjoyed almost two years' run on the London stage. One secret of its greatness—if secret it is—is certainly thai "Clive of India" dares to tell the whole truth about a" great man, glossing ov^l nothing—not even the man's less ad** mirable deeds. The seventy-odd remaining speaking roles are expertly filled by such popular and expert players as Colin Clive, Francis Lister, English stage star, C. Aubrey Smith* Cesar Romero, and Lumsden Hare. The second attraction will be that com* pelling and interesting film "The Story of Louis Pasteur," which is based on the life of the famous French scientist and medical man. Paul Muni Is seen in his most powerful role, and heil ably supported by a large cast.
