It opens with an elaborate pro

dreams of conquest and subsequent
edict—Joseph and Mary leave Na

a crude shack and Christ is born.
A heavenly light permeates the
whole place and the Star of the
East shines brightly as the shep
herds minding the flocks receive
tlie glad tidings, and while in si
lent adoration the sky is filled with
angels heralding the birth of the
Saviour of the world. It follows
with the appearance of the Angel
of the Lord—the flight to Egypt—
the slaughter of the Innocents—the
return to Galilea—Christ among
the doctors where with outstretch- j

see the crosses with the two

As the Roman soldiers stand

In "Strange Interlude.” Norma
Shearer presents a new type, a
woman at war with herself, strang
led by her own emotionalism,
seeking an outlet for the unsatis

She is a woman who makes a love

lover. First as her doctor, then as
her lover. Gable becomes involved
in a net of infidelity which grows
out of the cravings and complexes
of Nina Leeds.
DIX PORTRAYS
MAN OF MANY
AFFAIRS^ NOW
‘The Great Jasper' At
Rivoli Shows Hero
As a Lover
—
"The Great Jasper" new RKO
Raduo 'picture starring Richard
Dix at the Rivoli theatre Sunday, re
lates the story of a man of many
women whose life was measured In
love affairs rather than years.
Effective today the Rivoli offers
new low prices to meet your new
budget.
Perhaps nowhere in the world is
there a wife who could understand
the love of a faithless husband.
"The Great Jasper" was every wo
man's lover, but only one woman's
husband, and he never ceased lov
ing his ' Jenny-girl" who was his
right hand.
But his right hand gradually
learned what his left hand was
doing! Jenny understood only stem
goodness and rigid honor—only one
woman for one man forever and
ever. Jasper, now. he knew that
he could be true to his wife only
after death with the angels, though
his wife was the one woman he
did not forget!!
New Type of Role
"The Great Jasper” provides Dix
with a new type of role—a char
acter study requiring great artistry
to interpret, and it Is said that this
scrappy two-fister gives his greatest
performance as Jasper of the wick
ed wink and open heart.
Jasper, through Jenny's courage,
settles a strike .Promotion follows
and with it Jasper's greatest heart
conquest—Norma McGowd, beauti
ful young wife of the old man who
is h‘s benefactor.
McGowd's dream is for a child,
and when one is bom he little
dreams it is Jasper's. Years later,
when McGowd learns the truth, he
drives Jasper from town.
In Atlantic City Jasper pursues
1 his merry, loving ways and becomes
the renowned "Great Jasper"—a
seer who knows all and tells all
about lcve "For Women Only.”
Wera Engels, young and beauti
ful German actress recently im
ported by Radio, plays Mrs. Mc
Gowd. whose affair wdth Jasper is
resumed after her husband's death.
Edna May Oliver portrays an amus
ing fortune teller. Florence ETil
ridge is Jasper’s wife and his two
sons are enacted by Bruce Cabot
and James Bush.
