TIVOLI AND EVERYBODY’S

“THE SHAKEDOWN” A good human story, plot twists that make for suspense and surprise, and a high type of acting are combined in the film, “The Shakedown,” new at the Tivoli and Everybody's Theatres. Barbara Kent and James Murray are the stars. Murray plays the role of a young oil derrick worker enmeshed in a faked prize-fight. Barbara Kent is a waitress in an oil field lunch room. Their romance flowers in picturesque surroundings. How she helps him to break away from the crooks that have him in tow makes a stirring story in which no small amount of interest is lent by a small boy, a waif of the oil fields, whom Murray has taken under his wing. “Widecombe Fair,’* which is also being shown, is a typically English comedy-drama, enacted amid the beauty of Devon with the fair as a colourful background. Marguerite Allen. William Freshman and Wyndham Standing play the chief roles .n this story of a young couple’s struggle to save their old home. An entirely new programme will be shown at both theatres tomorrow. The first picture is “Saturday's Children,” starring Corinne Griffith in a story about the high cost of loving. This picture shows in unforgettable drama the saner side of flaming youth. Glenn Tryon is the star of the second new feature. “The Kid’s Clever,” the story of an inventor and a magician, told in Tryon’s inimitable way.
