TIVOLI
“THE WHIP” A neatly-wrought melodramatic plot, an exceptionally’ capable and well- 1 chosen cast, and all the thrills which ; made the old-time play’ famous com- 1 bine to make “The Whip,” now at the Tivoli Theatre, one of the most entertaining of the season. Based on the old Drury Lane melodrama first produced almost a century ago, “The Whip” is brought up to date in settings and dress, and its multitudinous thrills are magnified by modern technical skill and photographic ingenuity. Dorothy’ MacKaill brings her beauty and charm to the leading feminine rolo and Ralph Forbes proves an excellent foil in the masculine lead. Anna Q. Nilsson is particularly striking as the beautiful and scheming "vamp" and Lowell Sherman contributes another of his delightfully villainous “heavy” characterisations. “Emerald of the East,” the second big attraction, is a spectacular production of Indian life w'ith gorgeous pageantry-, colourful scenes, dramatic situations and thousands of people.
