PLAZA AND TIVOLI

“THREE WEEK ENDS” He met her the first week-end, punched another chap’s nose and lost his job. The next week-end he was repentant, but he punched the same chap’s nose again, and the next weekend tried to tear a cabaret apart. That’s the story of “Three WeekEnds,” now at the Plaza and Tivoli Theatres. It is a picture with a kick in it, and the best Clara Bow picture since “It.” The story is of New York life on Broadway, erring millionaires and chorus girls. Clara Bow is her flighty ■ self as a chorus girl sick to death of the row, congested space and lack of decent privacy in a typical New York tenement flat. Her sole aim in life is to “land” a millionaire, and live in luxury, and she very nearly succeeds. U n f o rt u nately, Neil H ami (ton however, her course crosses that of a mere insurance canvasser, and the two rivals clash badly. Sadly Clara recognise* that she was foolish enough to fall In love with a poor man after all. Brerything, however, does not end happily right away. The cast of “Three Week-Ends” includes Neil Hamilton, one of the most popular of Paramount’s leading plavers; Harrison Ford, long a favourite with moving picture audiences; Julia Swayne Gordon, Guy Oliver and others. An excellently varied supporting programme is shown at both theatres, including a comedy, gazette, a U.F.A. gem with some marvellous photos of the life of deer, and finally, a picture in the “Music Master” series, the life of Johann Strauss, which is accompanied by a special musical score from Mr. Howard Moody’s Symphonv Orchestra.
