PRINCESS AND TIVOLI

“FLYING ROMEOS” ‘TT*** Romeos/’ an hilarious comedy of airplanes and aviators, starring Charles Murray and George Sidney, is now causing great mirth to large audiences at the Princess and Tivoli Theatres. Murray and Sidney both aspire to the hand of a certain young lady, but her interests are centred in the daring deeds of an aviator. Unable to make headway against the aviator any other way. both Cohan and Cohn decide to enter an aviation school. They are obliged to submit to rigid physical examination before they will be permitted to fly and pass with great success until they are required to walk blindfolded as a test of their sens-' of equilibrium. Blindfolded, they wander out the door, into an o] and into a room where the Women's Purity League is in session. Attired only in red flannel un i the boys create something of a furore. A policeyian is su and Cohn flee, their flight taking them to a flying fleld and into an airplane hangar, where an aviator is tuning up his plane. The fugitives don flying suits in the hangar and crawl into the fusilage, inadvertently stepping on the throttle with the result that the plane dashes from the hangar and begins a swift descent. From then on their adventures form the basis of one of the most uproarious comedies ever shown. The second feature on the programme, Hoot Gibson in A Trick of Hearts,” is a picture of thrills and hard riding, laughter and comedy, and love and tears in a small cowboy town. Georgia Hale plays opposite Gibson.
