TIVOLI AND EVERYBODY’S

“THE KID’S CLEVER” 1 Another hilarious Glenn Tryon screen comedy is to be seen here when “The Kid’s Clever” is presented at the Tivoli and Everybody’s Theatres this evening. It is promised as a worthy successor to such Tryon hits as “Painting the Town,” “Hot Heels,” “The Gate Crasher,” “How to Handle Women” and “A Hero for a Night.” William James Craft, who has directed most of Tryon’s successes, also was at the helm in the making of this new laugh film. The story presents Tryon as an inventive service station

owner in a large city, who has devised a combination auto-boat that is fuelled by electricity or something drawn from the air. There is a pretty girl, the daughter of a wealthy auto man ufactu rer. There is a demonstration of the trick auto - boat, with that craft

doing odd. weird things in a thrilling exciting dash. There are humorous incidents galore, and a sensational wind-up, with Tryon winning both a marvellous contract and the girl. All in the interest of her art, the exquisite Corinne Griffith bruises her dainty fingers opening cans, strains her shoulder sweeping floors and gets a crook in her back washing dishes, in “Saturday’s Children,” her latest production. "When this domestic comedy-drama unreels at these theatres as the second feature, it will reveal Miss Griffith in the role of a working girl who gives up her economic independence and then gives up matrimony for economic independence. The role of the lover who becomes her husband and after a fraying romance, turns from husband to lover again, is enacted by Grant Withers.
