TIVOLI
“SOFT CUSHIONS” “Party hounds" of California in 1846 are depicted in “Rose of the Golden We3t,” a colourful and dramatic story of the days when
the great western empire was ruled by Spanish dons, which is being shown at the Tivoli Theatre. One of the pictorial highlights of the production, done in the elaborate manner featured by Director George Fitzmaurice, is a fiesta given at the home of a Cali-
fornia dictator. Seven hundred real Spaniards, men and women, youths and entrancing senoritas, personally selected by the director, appear in these gay scenes. Each wore a costume especially made for the event. Mary Astor plays the role of a slim and beautiful English-Spanish senorita, the heroine, while Gilbert Roland, of direct Spanish descent, is the hero. Montagu Love, Gustav von Seyffertitz and Flora Finch.
“Soft Cushions,” also being shown at the Tivoli, is a rollicking story of Arabian Nights love and intrigue, through which Mac Lean swaggers his way in a series of funny episodes. As a daring young thief, he invades the sacred harems, woos the most beautiful slave girl, is arrested, imprisoned and sentenced to death, escaping each time by his aimble wits, to win fortune and the girl.
