TIVOLI

COMEDY PROGRAMME The first starring vehicle of “Lefty” Flynn, entitled “The Millionaire Cowboy,” is being shown at the Tivoli Theatre. Story and star are both unusual, the former for the fact that it is a “different’ type of Western picture, and the latter because be is an actor as well as being a good-looking, clean-limbed athlete. Briefly, the plot deals with the regeneration of a harum-scarum young man whose father is a big Wall Street financier. He is finally sent, after one of his scrapes, to a deserted western community, where the only white inhabitants are an old man and his daughter. Here he finds himself, rehabilitates the town, and incidentally wins the girl. Gloria Grey, as the girl, is second only in importance to Mr. Flj'nn himself, and both are capably supported by a cast which includes Frederick Peters, Daddy Hoosier. and Charles Crockett. Harold Lloyd’s latest comedy, “The Kid Brother,” is also being shown.

Another stage comedy success went into production recently when Robert Z. Leonard directed the opening scenes of “Tea for Three,” the co-starring picture for Lew Cody and Aileen Pringle. Owen Moore is the third side of the triangle in the new picture, “Tea For Three,” is an adaptation of Roi Cooper Megrue’s comedy of the same name. Chester Conklin and his unique walrus moustache have drawn another big part at the Paramount studios. B. P Schulberg, associate producer in charge, announced that the versatile Chester has been cast to play in the Edward Sutherland production “Fireman, Save My Child,” starring Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton, one of the Paramount 100 per cent group to be released early next year, _____
