Another popular song rendered by Mr Downey in the fashionable cabaret. scene in the picture is “The World is , Yours and Mine.” In his love scene with Helen Chandler, who plays opposite him, be sings with fine expression “There’ll be You and I.” BIG BOY. Al Jolson, famous stage and screen star, appears in “Big Boy." When “The Singing Fool” was produced, critics said that it was better than “The Jazz Singer.” - “Big Boy” tops them both. It has everything that goes to make good entertainment — and Jolson has never been funnier. Don’t miss the greatest show this own has had in years. '
