TIVOLI AND EVERYBODY’S

“HOT STUFF” Alice White, one of the newest stars in the film heavens, is now at the Tivoli and Everybody’s Theatres, in her newest tale of jazzy youth, “Hot Stuff.” Miss WTiitc, who will be remembered for her striking work in “The Private Life of Helen of Troy,” “Harold Teen,” “Naughty Baby” and “Show Girl,” has now attained full-fledged stardom, and “Hot Stuff” is an ideal vehicle for her talents. It is a story of college life, adapted from the romance “Bluffers,” by Robert S. Carr. Miss White portrays a little country girl who goes to college and proceeds to become very “hot” with the students there. Mervyn Le Roy, the young director who handled the megaphone on “Harold Teen,” also directed “Hot Stuff.” William Bakewell, another young player who scored in “Harold Teen,” is the leading man. Louise Fazenda has a comedy role, and a splendid supporting cast, headed by the charming Doris Dawson, is seen. “Hot Stuff” is ideal entertainment for the tired business man or anyone else. Miss White’s pep and personality are now well known, and it seems as if the success of this versatile young actress is well assured. A Hoot Gibson “Western” picture, entitled “High Society,” is the chief attraction on the bright supporting programme. Dragons, sirens, castles, moats and all the trapping of the knighthood days play a prominent part in the newest Fox Movietone comedy, “Knights Out,” starring Bobby Clark and Paul McCullough, celebrated comedians.
