Tivoli Talkies.
Erroll in “Social Errors.99
! A USTRALIANS make good whether in
«£•*■ aviation' or talkies, and In the latter
realm more than one player from the
Commonwealth has made good In a big
way. The latest of them from whom news
comes in Leon Eroll, a comedian with
concertina legs, and he has been starred
in more than one Paramount production,
' His latest effort, giving him a better part
than ever, is as. the crook masquerading
Bfc». as 'a detective,, in “So.cial Errors,” a blithe
ml and wholesome piece of nonsense now at
WJ the Tivoli. In this show Erroll. brings all
' his unique ■ comedy talents to bear, and
literally steals the show from everybody
else. "With his queer little face, and his
laughter-provoking antics that is not to
be wondered at, for it was always prophe
sied of him that he would become world
famed. That time has now arrived, and
, in "Social Errors” one sees him at his best
’ in a halcyon comedy performance.
BERT. LYTELL, in the days of the silent
pictures, was a most popular star,
and his performance in "The Message
from Mars” is unforgettable. Not a great
deal has been seen of him since talkies,
although his first, "On Trial,”, was an
other gem of fine acting. Now Lytell
emerges again with a smashing and tri
umphant show, this time as the central
character in “The Last of the Lone Wolf,
which is being screened at the Tivoli this
week. The role suits Lytell like a glove,
with its dash and romance, and gives
him a-• tather fascinating part to play as
the master ' crook engaging his wits
against the subtle diplomacy of a Euro
pean Chancellory. Patsy Ruth Miller, a
very fine little actress, with an unusual
amount of charm, is his leading lady.
“ BRIGHT STAGE SHOW.
mHE second edition of the Tivoli’s New
-L Year pantomime, “Hello, 1931,” is
another bright and sparkling stage pre
sentation by a cast of star performers,
even gayer and faster than last week’s
performance. Ifa. new nonsense and fresh
comedy, Sid. Beck takes most of the fun
making oh to his capable shoulders, while
George Wallace, Jnr., is again to the fore
with his mirth-making. The Plying Win
Ekills again present fresh adventures in
the air, mixing daredevil stunts with
touches of deft, hut thrilling, comedy
Baby Marie Stlmpson, the plucky local
lassie, again gives a breathless turn, as
she mounts her high set trapeze, and pro
ceeds to undertake more amazing and
mad-cap exploits many fpet from the
ground. The beautifully-dressed ballet, and
a host of child, stars, make a beautiful
background -for the show, which is ac
co-.’'plished -with much sparkle, and a
charming sense of light and pleasant en-j
tertainment.
EVERY woman is fascinated by a tea
cup reading. Every woman wants to
know what lies at the bottom of a tea
cup for her. Curiosity can be satisfied in
a pleasant and most intriguing way at
the Tivoli Theatre every afternoon by the
celebrated Madame Moreney, who is pre
sent in the theatre foyer very- afternoon,
where tea is dispensed, and she gives
readings, without char \ to dress circle
patrons. Her readings a* e greatly in de
mand, and the foyer is rapidly becoming
a hapipy social playground, where ladies,
after enjoying the show, put a nice finish
ing, touch on to the afternoon’s entertain-,
ment by availing themselves of Madame s
most pleasurable readings.
COMING ATTRACTIONS.
TG1ANS have .been accustomed to seeing
-L> the charming Nancy Carrol in the
more-dramatic type, of vehicle, and in that
kind, of role she is undoubtedly supreme.
But a pleasant surprise awaits her host
of admirers at the Tivoli next Saturday,
when she will be seen, with Charles
(Buddyl Rogers in an all-colour musical
comedy, with a golf motif, “Follow Thru.
The stars have been surrounded with a
huge galaxy of spectacular effects, and --a
number of delightful comedians,
f A NOTHER star who- has for the time
being left drama to take care of it
self is the most ornately-clad lady of the
screen, Gloria Swanson, .who has deserted
the serious moods of the talkies for the
lighter aspect of amusement, and who
has1 now made “What-a Widow! to be
screened at the Tivoli soon. Miss Swan
son has a flair for light and pleasing
comedy, and in this show she lets herself
go ■ as ■ the male-teasing, heart-rejecting
flirt in a gay and merry episode.
