TIVOLI
NEW PROGRAMME TO-MORROW The screen’s smallest actor donned grease paint for an important role in Douglas Mac Lean’s unusual comedy “Soft Cushions,” which reaches the Tivoli Theatre to-morrow. He’s an inch long cricket, captured in the wilds of California, and he actually wears make-up in Paramount’s new comedy. His part in the picture is to race a brother cricket as part of a novel bunco game staged by MacLean, an enterprising rogue who introduces modern technique into the ancient art of living by one’s wits. Only one of the insects enjoyed the distinction of wearing grease paint, and he wag so honoured in order that he might be distinguished from his opponent. “Soft Cushions,” written by the late George Randolph Chester, is a distinct innovation in the comedy field. The story is Oriental in setting and atmosphere, but down-to-the -minute modern in its humour. “Rose of the Golden West” will also be screened at the Tivoli Theatre tomorrow.
