PLAZA AND TIVOLI

“HOW TO HANDLE WOMEN” “How to Handle Women,” a Univer- I sal-Jewel comedy, starring Glenn Tryon, is the attraction now at the j Plaza and Tivoli Theatres. Tryon, who is remembered as the star of the great hit, “Painting the Town.” and other screen comedies, is funnier than ever before. One of the newest stars in filmdom, his original form of comedy is rapidly leading him to a place at the very top of the ladder of popularity. The story is of a small-town newspaper cartoonist who, in order to impress the girl be loves, assumes the identity of a Prince Hendryx of Vulgar ia. With high pressure salesmanship and his own cartooning, he tries to sell the peanut crop of Volgaria to American bankers for a large sum of money. His success with the girl as the result of this diplomatic coup is something that must be seen to be appreciated. Broadway after dark, night clubs, theatre dressing-rooms, sumptuous apartment parties and ail the familiar figures to be fouftd therein —are all tu be seen in “Show Girl,” First National's high-stepping comedy featuring Alice White, which is the second attraction at both theatres. Another episode in the merry lives of those American college youths, “The Collegians,” is also shown. An entirely new programme will be presented at both theatres on Thursday, headed by “Oh, Kay,” a Colleen Moore comedy-drama from the musical comedy success, also “Poppies of Flanders,” an outstanding British picture based on an original story of “Sapper,” and starring Eve Gray and Jameson Thomas. William Powell, who lias just completed a part in the first Paramount talking picture, "Interference.” bus been assigned a role in “Tin T»*tui War,” a dramatic picture featuring Florence Vidor and Wallace Beery.
