IN NEW YORK | New York, Dec. 1.—This is ju short story of the Bowery that was, and the Bowery that is. The Bowery that was is a flashy, colorful and drab legend. The Bow- ery that is—well, it’s drab when it’s drab, and after that it’s a bit monot- onous. It retains its name, its bums and its two-bit lodging houses. And little else. .* But once upon the time when the Bowery was the Bowery, there was agar they called “the Bowery nd anyone who cares to look through his Sporting Annual can chart back to a day when the name of the Bowery Boy was one, as they say, to conjure with. The Bowery Boy was truly a Bowery Boy, with he Bowery as his background, fore- ground—and,now his past. Back in the 1890's, when a lot of us were still anticipating birth, the Bowery Boy “put away” none other than Mc-| Closkey, whose name still lingers in | song. Overnight, the lad who had been | Joe Bernstein, but who became the | Bowery Boy, was more than a pass-| ing hero to his neighborhood. He was idolized, hero worshipped and } feted. Then the old story—transient | glory, bright lights, money and then; obscurity. | see | Very well! About a year ago,| the Bowery Boy from the Bowery | that was, revisited the Bowery that is. He hadn't been feeling well. | And he was broke. He thought he'd like to revisit the scene of his glory in the event that his illness proved More serious than appeared on the surface. As he plodded, half sick, along the tawdry lower Bowery that is, bums asked him for dimes. And he couldn’t give them any, for he had none himself. . The following day he collapsed | and they took him to the Bellevue hospital—to a charitable ward. For a time it seemed certain he would die, but finally he won and they tossed him back on the world ape teoken in health. Some the old-timers got together and staged one of those benefits. They gave the Bowery Boy a fat purse to start himself up in business. Over in Brooklyn, a fast ageing man shuffles nigatly about “the smoked filled pool room, of which he is proprietor.

Fox! made no mistake when he cast this picture. Virginia Valli as May | Joyce is superb. Her acting, which seems to improve with each Fox re- | lease, is the essence of Paul Arm- | strong’s play. Some actresses have | been called “beautiful but brainless.” It has been suggested that we call Miss Valli “beautiful but brainy.” She certainly must use her brains in this one. Situations are tense, lives hang in the balance and, at times, even the fair Virginia herself seems on the verge of destruction. Richard Rosson, directing, has handled the most difficult scenes with the high- est touch of the true artist. An ex- cellent picture from an A-1 story! See it, by all means. ELTINGE THEATRE Sparkling Broadway could sparkle no more than “Manhattan Cocktail” coming to the tinge screen for Monday and Tuesday. “Manhattan Cocktail” has all of the bright lights, the thrills and the mystery of Broad- way itself and, in addition, it has two exceptionally bright stars lead- ing its cast, Nancy Carroll and Rich- ard Arlen. “Manhattan Cocktail” is the story of New York backstage life chosen to co-star this young pair and both the young players and the story do justice to the selection. The flash- ing personality of Nancy Carroll or the sympathetic figure of Richard Arlen alone would add lustre to any picture. The combination of the two in this dashing piece produces an ex- ceptionally fine picture and an en- joyable entertainment. In the early sequences of the pic- ture, which deals with the efforts of a young college girl to break into the stage racket, Marian Morgan’s dancers perform beautifully in sev- eral allegorical scenes. Throughout the picture, the life behind the scenes on Broadway is revealed in all its reality. “Manattan Cocktail” is, if anything, a realistic picture but it is also a moving, thrilling melo- drama. .
