ROXY
DOUBLE FEATURE BILL “Lucky in Love,” the headline attraction on the double-feature programme at the Roxy Theatre, continues to attract full applause. It brings Morton Downey, a Broadway favourite, to the screen for the first time. The settings are in Ireland and America. The theme song is “Love is a Dream,” and Betty Lawford plays the principal feminine role. The surge and thunder of a great railroad with a delicate romance and a gorgeous love story make up Lon Chaney’s latest starring vehicle, “Thunder,” a sound synchronised epic of the steel trail, also at the Roxy. Amid the runs of limited trains] the spectacular settings of huge railroad yards, and with the Mississippi floods as a thrill, the love tale of a boy and girl, and a still more human story of the love of a father and his two sons, is worked out into an enthralling evening’s entertainment. The picture has thrills and laughs, tears and bewilderment, all woven into a blend of engrossing drama.
