ROXY
“SOUTH SEA ROSE” With its burning romantic keynote, a pronounced melodic strain ana abundance of ripe humour, “South Sea Rose,” a Fox Movietone all-talking production, starring the talented Lenore Ulric, is to be seen and heard these days at the Roxy Theatre. The brilliant star of many Broadway stage hits has created for the speaking screen a new characterisation filled with the charm and fire that made her "Kiki” apd “Tiger Rose” live in the memories of theatregoers. She is the madcap, eccentric French lass, venting her passions on a crew of uncouth seamen and striving to attain the love of a man she knows will bring her a happiness always denied her. Miss Ulric gives a capital performance and is aided and abetted by a group of favourite players. Charles Bickford will advance his popularity immeasurably by his sincere portrayal of the male lead. A particularly fine supporting programme of talkie featurettes is being presented at the Roxy, of which the chief item is the capital comedydrama, “Swellhead.” starring the popular comedian, Johnny Hines.
