ROXY
“FATHER AND SON” An intensely human drama of trie great love existing between a father and son opened at the Roxy Theatre last night. It is “Father and Son,” a Columbia production synchronised with dialogue and music and enacted by a powerful cast including Jack Molt, Dorothy Revier and Mickey Mcßan. The story opens showing the motherless Jimmy Fields celebrating his tenth birthday prior to the departure of his adored and adoring father on a European business trip. The return of Mr. Field with a new wife, who is really a notorious French countess, introduces the plot complication. The hatred of little Jimmy and his stepmother for each other results in dramatic situations culminating in a murder. “Father and Son” is a colourful, gripping, entertaining drama. Dialogue introduced at appropriate dramatic moments and a tuneful musical score enhance the picture considerably. All the voices are reproduced with an amazing naturalness. A second big attraction was shown in “The College Coquette,” a most hilarious and fast-moving tale of love, high jinks and sport among the youth at a big American college. The stars are Jobyna Ralston and William Collyer, jun. The picture has dialogue throughout.
