ROXY
“HIS GLORIOUS NIGHT” Lionel Barrymore. director of “Madame X” and “The Unholy Night,” rings the directorial target again with his newest talking accomplishment, “His Glorious Night.” a screen adaptation of Ferenc Molnar’s famous stage play, “Olympia,” in which John Gilbert is starred. It is now in its last days at the Roxy Theatre. The veteran dramatic star who threw away his make-up box for a director's chair when talking pictures became the vogue in things cinematic, has taken a commonplace plot of Continental flavour—a spicy one, too —and clothed it in smart uniforms, beautiful women, crackling dialogue—and John Gilbert. On Wednesday the Roxy will present for the first time in New Zealand a spectacular all-colour and all-talking and singing production entitled "Peacock Alley,” and starring the famous actress, Mae Murraj*.
