DE LUXE THEATRE.

"Broadway," the all-talking, singing and. dancing production, is the feature at the De J,uso Theatre. "Broadway" was a sensational play which kept New York itself on edge for almost two years. Everything which could not be shown on the stage has been added to the picture. The characterisations of the play, as enacted by Glenn Tryon as Roy Lane, and Merna Kennedy as Billie Moore, the dancing team; Evelyn Brent as Pearl, Thomas Jackson as Dan M'Corn, Robert Ellis as Steve Crandall, Paul Porcasi as Nick, the night club proprietor, and Otis Harlan as .Forty, ono of tho gangsters— for comedy purposes only—are all outstanding. Altogether, "Broadway" is excellent entertainment, absorbing In story, virid in characterisation, superb in its musical and colour effects. In the final scene the Paradise Club and everything in it, including the revue girls and their elaborate' costumes, are shown in full technicolour, and shows what can bo achieved by the screen in combination with sound and colour photography. Good supports are also screened, and some delightful music is supplied by the orchestra, under Mr. L. D. Austin
