PLAZA AND TIVOLI
“THE FOUR FEATHERS” The Sudan and the Fuzzy Wuzzy made famous by Kipling is the background against which the thrilling tale of “The Four Feathers” is etched. It adds atmosphere and gives a thrill to the picture that beggars description. Ernest Schoedsack and Merian Cooper, the famous makers of “Chang,” spent many months in the distant lands of Africa taking the scenes that give the flavour of reality to the story and give you a thrill. The story of “The Four Feathers” has to do with a coward’s effort to redeem himself, and to force the four people to take back the white feathers they had presented him as a symbol of his lack of courage. William Powell, Richard Arlen, Fay Wray, Clive Brook, Noah Beery and Theodor von Eltz are the players of this great Paramount picture, which continues to thrill audiences at the Plaza Theatre, and is also being shown at the Tivoli Theatre. The supporting talkie items include a gazette in sound, a comedy, a talking and singing scena, “Hawaiian Nights," and a particularly amusing sketch, with songs by Elsie Janis, the London and New York musical comedy star.
