The Cuban Love Song dramati
romance of man and girl in tn
tropics brings Laurence Tibbeti
famous baritone ana screen star Il
the Sussex Theatca screen for th'
last time tonight, in what is uh
dOubtedly his most interesting roll
since the Rogue Song
In a modern story, replete witt
drama, adventure. comedy ant
haunting music, Tihhet is seen as :
swashbuckling marine. The story
begins before the war and comes
down to the present day.
There are novelties galore and
an imported Cuban orchestra and
Lupe Velez dancing the Rumha
Tibet, learning the peanut vender
in Spanish from the loyeabl9 I-ppe;
outstanding songs for TibbeGt, such
as the official ''IT. $. Marina Corps

Tim Mccoy, one of the screens
most accomplished STUNT riders,
demonstrated during the making OF
Shotgun Pass" the Columbia Wes-
tern showing Saturday matinee and
night at the Sussex Theatre, that he
is also a remarkable marksman. The
picture called for fast riding and
some trick shooting. Tim gave eYi-
dence of real workmanship by hit
ting with a Winchester rife billiard
balls thrown in the air. He shot
solid shot.
1t is known that many trick
marksmen who appear in Wild West
shows, use shells loaded with small
shot so that, in shooting at clay
balls thrown in the air, the area OF
the fire is so widely spread that
what seems like marvellous shooting
is comparatively easy. But this is
not what happens in Tins case, for
he actually splits the billiard balls.
1t would be impossible TO do this
with shOt-filled shells.
