TIVOLI AND EVERYBODY’S

A VARIED PROGRAMME A programme of interest and variety that will not fail to please was presented at the Tivoli and Everybody’s Theatres for the first time yesterday. A delightful story of an interrupted honeymoon is the main feature with Thomas Meighan in the stellar role. To be on their honeymoon and to become separated when they arrive in New York is the lot of this pair. The succeeding incidents are exciting and novel, to say the least, and provide unlimited interest. Greta Nissen portrays the role of the bride and gives an excellent impersonation of a difficult role. The scenes are worthy of note, and as a master mariner, Thomas Meighan, appears in one of his best parts. There is a wealth of incident in the drama and the love story is one that compels interest. There is a good supporting cast. The second feature picture is “Hey! Hey! Boy,” a Hoot Gibson comedy-drama of life in the west. Hoot Gibson plays the role of a cowboy detective, who eventually settles a dispute between two ranch owners and, of course, wins the hand and heart of the girl in the case. It is an excellent comedy-drama and provides unlimited entertainment. A feature of the picture is the great riding abilities of Hoot Gibson and his trick stunts are well worth seeing. Kathleen Key plays opposite Gibson and makes a charming heroine. At Everybody’s Theatre there is a vaudeville programme, in addition to the pictures. The Vernon Family are excellent, and Ginger and Sandy and Wilson and Millar go a long way to complete an enjoyable programme. Good supporting pictures are shown at both theatres.
