TIVOLI

“HEY! HEY! BOY” Like the old-time novels, the trans-parently-plotted two-reel movie thrillers of yesteryear have passed into the limbo of forgotten relics. With the advent of Hoot Gibson on the cinematic horizon, a new era has dawned in the realm of Westerns. They have been dignified and revamped along modern lines, still retaining the tang of the days of the West that was. Gibson has brought a magic touch to revive anew the romance, the tragedy and the comedy that tinged the lives of those who lived in the wide open spaces. In his latest Universal-Jewel release, "Hey! Hey! Boy," which comes to the Tivoli Theatre to-night, Hoot Gibson is cast in the. type of role that fits him like a well-worn glove. Imbued with a thirst for the heroic limelight, and continually in hot water through his attempts to be romantic and adventurous, Gibson colours his role with the highlights of daring deeds His acting is set oft against a background of comedy-relief furnished by experienced farceurs. "Hey! Hey! Boy” was directed by Lynn Reynolds from an original story and script by himself. The supporting cast includes Kathleen Key, "Slim" ! Summerville, Monte Montague, Clarke Comstock, Wheeler Oakman, Jim Corey, Kick Cogley and Milla Darenport.
