VARIED THEMES
London, Feb. 12. Last week came the London presentation at the Tivoli, follow- ing the Paris premiere ten daya ago, of the Toeplitz Alm. Tho Dictator". Anticipation had run high over this picture of Elgh- teenth Century Copenhagen. In the first place, it was known to have cost over £100,000 to make. In the second place, it took a pro- digious long time in the making. In the third place, it boasted staff of technical experts gathered from all parts of the world, and the colobrated Mr. Clive Brook was repatriated from Hollywood to play the title role opposite Bilas Madelaine Carroll. In the fourth place, Victor Saville, borrowed from Gaumont British, directed, taking over in the early stages from the American, Al Santell. And in the fifth place, It marked the maiden effort in solo pro- duction In this country of Signor Tooplitz do Grand Ry, formerly joint managing director of Lop- don Films.

COOKERY NOTES
"The Dictator" is the sad little story of an ambitious but public. spirited Homburg doctor, by name of Struensee, who becomes amoured of the young Queen of Denmark. Caroline Matilda. After having cured the King of Denmark of his colds, and freed the people from the salt tax, the broad tax and sundry other dis- abilities, he arrives eventually on the scaffold, where he dies, wo presume, like a gentleman nad a Hamburger. Signor Toeplitz is certainly an inspired investor of: money. He puts all his cash on a film, not in it. Every scene gleams and glows, the stars flash jowels, the marble staircase of the Danish palace is, and looks like. the biggest Bot ever erected in a British studio. "The Dletator" is in short an opulent picture, in full court dress with decorations. But it is rather dull, and just about as entertaining as a high-CUT one ib. of bolled potatoes class dress parade.
The short-waisted jacket is featured on a pleasing little auit of fine navy cloth, the jacket having a double round collar and fastening with chromium button.
