Reid, Mwdoch &.Co. h ave .erved quality "THE GREAT WHITE WAY" Roosevt!lt Theatre Not so long ago they took an ordinary love story, surrounded it w :th views of prominent screen stars and called it "Hollywood." It was a success from every standpoint. In the "Great White Way" they have taken the theme of the "Leather Pusher" storie~. embellished it with views of Broadway and its outstanding people, given it an excellent cast of regular screen artists, with the result that it, too, is a definite success. People like films of this character. They read continually about such people as Flo Ziegfeld, Irvin Cobb, Tex Rickard, Nell Brinkley and Arthur Brisbane. To see them in a film as part of a regular story is a rt·al treat. No wonder the box office breaks records. The Great White Way is quite full of interesting events and action. It tells of a champion prize fighter who falls in love with the feature dancer of the "Follies." It leads one through interesting scenes in a newspaper office, presents dress rehearsals of the Follies, gives several rounds of a great prize fight and some excellent filming of a horse race. Not content with all this excitement they show the burning of a theatre which for reali m has seldom, if ever, been equaled. Anita Stewart, T. Roy Barnes, Oscar Shaw and Harry YJatson, Jr., have the leading parts and they are excellent. Barry Watson is better than in anything he has heretofore played, being more of a character actor in his present offering and less of a bur- fOO<t. to American h ome. for 70 vean Tryahcae ~oNARCJt WASHER ~~ Before bu)'iDI a waahiat aaachiae 1M aure to ·- the PAT- Eleelrle Cabinet APEX ···ry · =Home MONARCH favorilea Cocoa Tea Sweet Pickles Sweet Relish Catsup Chili S.uce Pn!eetves M ..Ace Meat MayonnaiM DretliD& 1000 Jalaod co ENTED APEX COPPER TUB-xduai·· Apea f-ture - bi ch iaaurea q u i c k aad cleaa waahi·l· Eaeaaed ia b-utiful cabiaet (ao world·· parta ~xpoaed).
