TIVOLI
“MODERN LOVE” Those who enjoy comedy at its best should see the talking picture, “Modern Love.” which opened yesterday at the Tivoli Theatre. The story is based on modern mar-
riage, that is. marriage on a fifty-fifty basis. However, it is only fair to state that in “Modern Love” not only is the marriage a fifty-fifty business arrangement, but in order that the young wife might not lose her position, it had to be kept a secret. One wonders bow so many amusing complications can be packed into one film without straining for effects and without overburdening it with innumerable gags. The fact that both these defects have been avoided is perhaps tho highest compliment that can be paid tho writer, the director and the cast. In tho final summing up, this picture is recomemnded to anyone in low spirits or suffering from boredom. There isn’t a dull moment in “Modern Love.” Jean Ilersbolt, Kathryn Crawford and Charley Chase play important roles, and they are undoubtedly one of the most satisfying groups ever cast in a picture. The Tivoli programme also includes a number of entertaining short talkie items.
