TIVOLI
“THE VAGABOND KING” When a stage production is rendered upon the audible screen it is natural to draw a comparison. But in the case of “The Vagabond King ” which is now at the Tivoli Theatre, a comparison is a. paltry means of expressing the glamorous wonderment of this marvellous screen version. In fact, the film adaptation is so far superior in thrills and sheer beauty that there is no comparing it with the original, beautiful as the original was Dennis King, as the master of the sword, the leader of the vagabonds, the redeemer of Paris and the captor of a princess’s heart, leaps into the very front rank of romantic actor-singers of the cinema in his gorgeous portrayal of Francois Villon, the poet-hero of “The Vagabond King.” The Tivoli’s programme also includes bright talkie supports.
