TIVOLI AND EVERYBODY’S

“ADAM’S APPLE” A thrilling fight in mid-air is given on a miniature scale in the Monty Banks super-comedy, “Adam’s Apple,” which Cinema Art Films are releasing at the Tivoli and Everybody's Theatres. The scene is in a ship’s gymnasium, where the hero is in violent conflict with the jealous husband of a vamp who he has innocently flirted with. Portion of the battle was staged in mid-air, where the opponents who were swinging on ropes fought frantically for what seemed like hours, throwing Indian clubs, dumb-bells and all manner of things at one another. The climax was brought about by the husband finally succumbing to the vicious onslaughts of the hero. It is a wholly exciting film throughout, and gave the adventures of a pair of young newlyweds on their honeymoon with a chaperoning mother-in-law. The supporting roles were well portrayed by Gillian Dean, Lena Haliiday and Judy Kelly. The second big attraction is entitled “The Whirl of Life,” and is a spectacular and gripping circus story similar in theme to the now-famous “Variety.” There is a quaint touch of comedy, too. Fay Mai ten, a pretty Continental star, appears with Henry George in the chief roles—those of aerial artists.
