TIVOLI THEATRE
All the world loves a romantic rascal, especially if he turns out to be more romantic and not so much of a rascal as first appears. Such is the case with Joseph Schildkraut as the star of “The Mississippi Gambler,” his latest Universal all-talking feature now being screened at the Tivoli Theatre. “The Mississippi Gambler,” Schildkraut’s first appearance on the talking screen since the immortal “Show Boat,” was especially written for the star to afford him every possible opportunity for the romantic allure which he displayed so markedly in the pre- . vious super-production. The story virtually revolves around the glamorous characterisation, and is packed with dramatic action because of the colourful period in which it is set. The excellent supporting programme is headed with “The Mysterious I/t. Fu Manchu,” the big talkie thriller, starring Warner Oland. “The Locked Door,” all-talking picturisation of Channing Pollock’s “The Sign on the Door,” is soon to be exhibited here. Directed by George Fitzmaurice, it has Rod La Rocque, Barbara Stanwyck, William Boyd and Betty Bronson in its cast.
