MANAIA TALKIES TO-NIGHT. Jimmy “Schnozzle” Durante, who is featured in Paramount’s “The Phantom President,” which comes to the Manaia Theatre to-night, was born on the Lower East Side, in New York, and educated in pool-rooms, corner cigar stands and back alleys. When he found it necessary to go to work, as he did when he was quite young, he decided to go on the stage. His start was singing roustabout songs in roustabout. “joints” on the Bowery. He migrated soon to Brooklyn beer halls, and picked up extra pennies singing here at a church charity or there at a lodge benefit. Somewhere along the route he annexed Lou Clayton and Eddie Jackson, making the team of Clayton, Jackson and Durante. Vaudeville and musical comedy skyrocketed them to fame and fortune, and the movies were . not long in following, with lucrative contracts for Jimmy. OPERA HOUSE TALKIES. TWO. EXCELLENT COMEDIES. Laurel and Hardy in ‘Sons of the Desert,” to be presented at the Hawera Opera House to-day and to-night, are a pair of inimitable funsters who make . one believe that being comedians is a . sinecure. They appear able to drag comedy, out of clear air as easily as a magician drags a rabbit out of a silk hat. Then.’ talents are so well developed that their smoothness and timing reminds one of a well-oiled machine or the sort of marriage that is really “made in heaven.” Eddie Cantor in “Roman Scandals,” a > classic fable by George S. Kaufman and Robert Sherwood, comes to the Opera ' House on Monday for a season of three nights with matinees daily. Ruth Etting, Gloria Stuart and David Manners, Edward Arnold and Veree Teasdale are involved in his adventures. A hundred of the world’s most beautiful girls, this year’s crop of Goldwyn beauties, keep time with their dancing feet to Cantor s new ditties.
