PAVILION, SELSEY. "TYCOON," R.K.O.’s Technicolor picture which comes to the Pavilion, Selsey, for the first part of next week, is a saga of adventure in the wonderful setting of the untamed Andes. Starring John Wayne and Laraine Day, it is packed with suspense and big-scale action telling the story of a dynamic love affair and ceaseless struggle with the elements in rugged outpost of civilization. The blowing up of a railway tunnel, the collapse of a construction tram and a bridge over a raging flooded river, are only some of the scenes the moving story. Also in the cast are Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Judith Anderson, James Gleason and Anthony Quinn. For the second part of the week is the screen version of Compton Mackenzie's delightful story, "WHISKY GALORE," with Basil Radford and Joan Greenwood. James Robertson Justice and Gordon Jackson head the supporting cast. This is a story of a remote island in the Outer Hebrides. There was a drought of whisky for the first time in living memory and a ship carrying 50,000 cases of the precious liquid was wrecked within sight of the islanders. What happens makes first-class entertainment, with Basil Radford as the officer commanding the local Home Guard, well to the fore.
