Show ' 'Honeymoon Lane' Is Feature Film Coming To Rivoli Success as a movie star came to i Kddic Dowling with the release, i about two years ago, of his very i first picture "The Rainbow Man." !i According to preview critics he j doubles the measure of that success in "'Honeymoon Lane," his second j picture, which comes to the Rivoli theater Sunday and Monday. Dowling is a firm believer in the theory that the charm that goes with carefully-devised simplicity in theatrical or film presentations is the most effective method of keeping keep-ing audiences in a rosy glow of happiness. hap-piness. It is not an easy production course to follow what with the film capital abounding in story material of a spicy, or a thriller, or a blood-and-thunder nature. But Dowling holds to it rigidly. In more than a score of years as an actor and playwright he has never wavered from his purpose and as a result he has never been associated, asso-ciated, in any way, with what is known in critical circles and along "heartbreak lane" as a "flop" production. pro-duction. Youth, its fire and personality, its refusal to bow to the conventional, conven-tional, its modern-day penchant for leaping from obscurity to fame overnight is nowhere more strikingly strik-ingly exemplified than in the cast of Paramount's "An American Tr.edy," the mighty drama, based on Theodore Dreiser's epic novel, which will show at the Rivoli thea' ter Thursday and Friday. Phillips Holmes, Sylvia Sydney, Frances Dee, Arlane Judge, Wallace Wal-lace Midleton, Elizabeth Forrester these, and many others in the j cast of more than 50 speaking roles, form the brigade of vibrant youth which, in the story, thrilled millions of readers all over the world. The first American college story authentic in all its details, "Confessions "Con-fessions of a Co-Ed," has been brought to the screen' by Paramount Para-mount and will open a two day showing at the Rivoli theater Tuesday Tues-day and Wednesday. . "Confessions of a Co-Ed," based on the intimate facts in the day-to- day diary of an anonymous co-ed, whose own highly dramatic and in-' in-' tensely emotional experiences reflect re-flect the thoughts and actions of all modern college youths, deals with one of the most vital and interesting in-teresting phases of present-day Ufa. In it are pictured the joys, the rivalries, the jealousies and love affairs of young men and beautiful girls, many of them away from home, "on their own," for the first time in their lives. |
