PRINCESS AND TIVOLI

“THE LOVE MART” The loveliest of stars, Billie Dove, contrasted with a villainous-appearing collection of pirates, slavers, the riffraff of the Gulf, will be seen with Gilbert Roland and Noah Beery in “The Love Mart,” which comes to the Princess and Tivoli Theatres on Thursday.

This George Fitzmaurice production offers a brilliant and romantic story of the days when the country was young and yet old in traditions.

Gilbert Roland plays the masculine lead as Victor Jallot, gentleman and master of fencing. Noah Beery is the villainous Captain Remy, slave-runner. Armand Kaliz, who was recently seen in another Billie Dove picture, “The Stolen Bride,” appears in this film as a Creole dandy. Emile Chautard, eminent actor and former director: Boris Karloff, Andre Lanoy, Raymond Turner and others are in the fine supporting cast. The picture is by Benjamin G-laZer and was based on Edward Childs Carpenter’s “The Code of Victor Jallot.” Tolstoy’s “Resurrection,” the drama of prince and peasant, love, sacred and profane, brings Rod La Rocque and Dolores Del Rio to the screen in the United Artists’ version of the famous novel. Rod La Rocque is the star of “Resurrection,” playing the role of the prince who sinned and sorrowed. Dolores Del Rio is Katusfia Maslova, the peasant ward of his two maiden aunts, the girl whose love is defiled and sullied, only to be won again through the remorse of the prince. Miss Del Rio is afforded her greatest screen opportunity to date, and her work is done under the direction of the same Edwin Carewe who discovered her in 1925.
