“BROADWAY BABIES" FOR THE LIBERTY THEATRE.

Alice "White, the legitimate successor to Clara Bow, makes her debut sound screen in ’’Broadway Babies, at Liberty Theatre next week, a “Broadway” show that is quite different from any other musical drama of the Great.

: ni t§ e u m e m m © ns m si m si h® m @ in White Way that has yet been made for the screen. It is not a story of backstage life, nor yet the struggles of the song-and-dance boys and girls to get starred on Broadway, but it is full ot comedy, intrigue, melodrama, and it has some particularly fine scenes of ballet and singing numbers. Alice White makes a really excellent "Broadway Baby ” sings and dances like the best star of them all, has an amusing comedy flair, and figures in some exciting and unusual adventures in between times of being a singing dancer in this typical screen show. She is supported by a cast of favourites, including Jocelyn Lee, Charles Delaney, Fred Kohler and others. The music written for this screen play is of that bright variety that is so popular with the public, and Miss White introduces a new ballet, "The Jigaloo.” The box plans are now open at The Bristol Piano Company, where seats may be reserved.
