TIVOLI AND EVERYBODY’S

NEW PICTURES TOMORROW This evening 1 will see the final screening at Tivoli and Everybody’s Theatres of the programme comprising “The Ivid’s Clever,” .Glenn Tryon’s latest and best comedy, and “Saturday’s Children,” a daring drama of marriage, starring Corinne Griffith. “Thoroughbreds,” the Universal picture starring Marian Nixon, which will open at these theatres tomorrow, is a story of horse racing at its most thrilling pitch. Whe- watching some of the exciting scenes in this film, one can easily understand why horse racing has been named “the sport of kings.” The thrill and pleasure derived from watching a group of speeding horses straining for the best position at the turn or using every ounce of strength to pull up on the leader just before the finish cannot be surpassed by any other diversion. But Gerald Beaumont, the famous sports writer, from whose story, “The Frog,” this picture was made, knew both sides of horse racing. He knew that gambling rings existed that attempted to influence the outcome of a race for their own ends. This phase is also shown in the picture. “Knights of the Night” is the title of the second attraction tomorrow. “SOUTH SEA BUBBLE” AT GRAND When a pirate buries the remnants of his ill-gotten gains, and draws a chart of the island, he should have the good sense to mark the spot before lying down to die. This Roger Winslowe omitted to do, and while none of his descendants had need of the treasure they did not trouble to locate it. How the scheme was inaugurated, and what followed, is breezily told in “A South Sea Bubble,” the picture at the Grand Theatre, in which Ivor Novello plays the part of the pirate’s bankrupt descendant. “Not Quite Decent,” the second picture at the Grand, is a striking tale of a woman who fought for her daughter in New York’s underworld. Louise Dresser and Madge Bellamy are the stars. MUNICIPAL BAND CONCERT An interesting programme containtaining several new numbers will be presented by the Municipal Band in the Town Hall on Saturday evening next. A selection from “Der Rosenkavalier,” Richard Strauss’ splendid work which is creating such a furore at present in the Old Country, -will be played for the first time by the band. Other items are “Oberon” overture, “Festival of Empire,” a first time performance of this patriotic fantasia, “Classical Memories,” and a charming Carillon. New instrumental solos will be played by Messrs. Purchase, Bowes and McLennan. Miss Sarah Stacpoole, with Miss Thelma Gordon at the piano, will sing some charming ballads. Booking at Lewis Eady, Ltd.
