TIVOLI

“THE PRIMROSE PATH” It may be the influence of subconscious yearnings during youth that makes every actress long to be cast in a picture which hinges on a story of stage life. Clara Bow has r.his sort of part in ‘ The Primrose Path,” now showing at the Tivoli Theatre. She portrays Marilyn Merrill, a young dancerV who is the toast of the town. Some of the most gorgeous costumes of her career are worn by Miss Bow in this picture. Besides Miss Bow, the cast of ‘The Primrose Path,” which was dii€;cted by Harry P. Hoyt, includes Wallace McDonald, Stuart Holmes, Tom Santschi, Arlirie Pretty, Lydia Knott, Fred Warren, Pat Moore, Mike Donlin, and Templar Saxe. Because so many Aucklanders requested another showing of ‘‘The Birth of a Flower,” Mr. Clarke Irvine, of Honolulu, has delayed his departure for the South in order to give a farewell presentation at the Tivoli Theatre to-night. This is the last time Auckland nature lovers will have the chance to see this amazing and beautiful film. It reveals, through the puzzling slowmotion camera, the life secrets of wild flowers which are seen actually moving, living, loving and dying—their entire life cycle being shown through microscopic photography. The most amazing scientific feat in the film is the germinating pollen grains with the bits of protonlasm within beginning to actually live. The whole film is a rare treat for outdoor lovers as it shows many beauties of the California mountains in Yosemite National Park, together with comical snow battles, animal antics and many other subjects interesting and educational to old and young.
