PLAZA AND TIVOLI
NEW PICTURES ON THURSDAY Clara Bow’s dashing romantic comedy, “Three Week Ends,” will be shown at the Plaza and Tivoli Theatres for the last time to-morrow evening. Neil Hamilton and Harrison Ford have leading roles in this breezy story of millionaires and New York chorus girls. When the heroine of a film plot outvamps the “vamp,” which is the heroine and which is the “vamp?” That is the question that changing times and styles in film plots has brought about, for nowadays the heroine is the heroine, sometimes, because she’s a “hotter” vamp than any competitors. Alice White and Thelma Todd, heroine and vamp in First National’s last-stepping comedy drama, “Naughty Baby,’ which is coming to these theatres next Thursday. are both blondes. Alice is tiny and dynamic; Thelma is statuesque and beautiful and technical.
They have a ba.ttle royal for vamping honours in the picture. Both of them go after the hero, who, of course, is young, handsome and wealthy. Jack Mulhall. co-featured with Miss White in “Naughty Baby,” portrays the beleaguered young man. Cupid help him!
Then there are both blonde and brunette vamps supporting the two chief rivals. Boris Dawson, cute and full of beauty and red-headed, is on the heroine’s side. Frances Hamilton and Natalie Joyce, striking brunettes, are on the “vamp’s” side.
Richard Barth elmess is a devilraisin’ salty, roaming the seven seas of love and adventure, in his latest picture, “Scarlet Seas,” the second feature on Thursday. What happens when this scrappy tar is cast adrift in mid-ocean in a rowboat with a girl from an island dance hall, makes one of the most exciting dramas presented this season. It is one of the best of Barthelmess’s many hits, and is full of action, romance, and the adventures of a typically roving sailor.
“Manhattan Cocktails,” the Paramount picture featuring Nancy Carroll, Richard Arlcn and Paul Luisas in the main roles, is a story of the Broadway stage. The direction was done by Dorothy Arzner. “Manhattan Cocktail” is one of the most recent Paramount productions, and will be seen chnnHv ir. TV’qii- 7calonH
