Show 'SECRET SIX' IS FEATURE FILM ATRIVOLISUN. . Actors appear in roles far different differ-ent from the characterizations in which people know them best in "The Secret Six," Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's sensational drama of municipal mu-nicipal politics and the underworld, which wih come Sunday, and Monday Mon-day to the Rivoli Theater. For instance, who would imagine Wallace Berry, best known in garb such as he wore in "The Big House" and "Min and Bill," appearing appear-ing in faultless evening clothes as the most fastidious of fastidious dressers? But he does and wears them as to the manner born! Then again, the usually debonair Lewis Stone forsakes the tailored garments that have made him one of the best tressed men on the scren, and appears as a broken-down broken-down lawyer, with a three days' growth of beard, ragged and unkempt, un-kempt, and apparently on the verge of acute alcoholism a clever piece of acting, considering that he is a teetotaler. Comedian Turns Villain Paul Hurst, the comedian, fairly oozes menace as the villainous Gouger, and Fletcher Norton, well known on the stage as a dancer, appears as a cringing menial of a gangster chief. There are many former vaudie-illians vaudie-illians in the picture, all playing villain roles, through they did comedy com-edy on the stage. Tom Hawn, star of "Pat and the Genie"; Ed Foster, of the., old musical team of "For-ster "For-ster and Foster," and Clinton Llye, of the comedy team of "Lyle and Amerson," are among them. To the ordinary person a French horn means music, as does the tuba the saxaphone, the cornet andl other wind instruments. Charley Chase, however, being a very different and unique sort of comedian, tell a different dif-ferent story about these musical instruments in "ONE ,OF THE SMITHS;" his latest Hal Roach comedy, which is on the program at the Rivoli Theater, Sunday and Monday. Mr. Chase, representing a large mail order house, is sent to the Ozark Mountain district to find out just why customers .have ordered horns, made down payments only and then disappeared entirely. Mr. Chase could find no evidence of the horns in the hill-billy town, and only on-ly after several hours of extensive sleuthing did he solve the problem for his employers. |
