TIVOLI
“THE VAGABOND KING” The tender love theme of “The Vagabond King,” at the Tivoli Theatre, is in striking contrast to the thrilling action -that characterises some of the biggest scenes in the production. The fire of adventure sweeps through the picture, spurred on by the stirring nature of the musical score. Audiences throughout the world thrill to the "Song of the Vagabonds,” led by Dennis King. King is styled “the romantic adventurer with the golden voice,” and he well lives up to his title. The full beauty of the settings, which range from a squalid tavern in the slums of Paris to the magnificence of the Court of France, is brought out by the technicolour, which is used throughout the picture. The colour is the best that has yet reached the screen. It is so near perfection that it does not matter. The facial tints are particularly noticeable as being absolutely true to life. In “The Vagabond King,” flesh and blood players are brought to your screen. A splendid supporting programme of talkies is also being shown.
