TIVOLI AND RIALTO
“THE DESERT SONG” The glamorous operetta “The Desert Song,” is now at the Rialto Theatre, Newmarket, and the Tivoli Theatre, Karangahape Road. Mr. John Boles leaps into favour by his admirable acting and singing as the Red Shadow. His is a rich, robust tenor, very sweet and sympathetic, and he uses it like an artist in the "All Alone” theme song, and the “Song of the Riffs.” But his is not nearly the only voice. Miss Carlotta King as Margot sings the music charmingly, and rises to considerable dramatic heights in “The Song of the Sword.” There is also a great tenor voice in a minor role, while a fine bass organ is displayed by the actor, who plays Ali Ben Ali. Johnny Arthur as Benny Kidd, and Louise Farenda as Susan, are very funny; and Myrna Loy is Azuri, the Arabian dancer. Excellent talkie featurettes complete the programme.
