JUNEAU—Phone 6 /% DOUGLAS—Phone 18 fer Broadway, at I the new theatrical s in “Centinental Varieties’ operétta, “The Great Waltz.” By NOEL THORNTON | NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—~The bal- wance of trade in the theatre mar- | ket discloses a definite western !trend as the new stage season at- tains its most active period. The | considerable exports of American ‘iper[ormers and shows to Europe during the last few years are now | being returned in kind by London, | | Paris, Madrid and Vienna. | Broadway first nighters early had their appetites for sophistica- | tion wheted by “Continental Varie- ties.” Three nations—France, Spain and | Russia—combine to furnish the tal- | ent for this European evening with 1 the famous Parisienne diseuse, Lu- cienne Boyar, giving her “tour de chant” as headliner. Daughter of Chaliapine On the same program are Vicente Escudero, the Spanish dancer, with his group of gipsies from the caves of Sacre Mont in Granada; Lydia Chaliapine, Russian singer and the daughter of the great basso; and | De Roza, a bar-man illusionist who, starting with a simple glass of water, can produce any liquor named by members of the audi- ence. For the first time New York has the opportunity to hear Yvonne Printemps in an English speaking role as this famous French actress plays the lead in Noel Coward's #Conversation Piece.” Several years ago Mille. Prin- temps created something of a fur- ore here when she appeared with her former husband, Sascha Guitry, in ‘‘Mozart.” Now she has learned English for the Coward role. Irish Players Here From Dyblin come the Irish Players of the Abbey theatre on a nation-wide tour with a repertory which includes two plays frowned upon by Erih's censors, Synge’s “Playboy of the Western World,” and O'Casey's “The Plough and the Stars.” Theif Broadway engagement . is at the Martin Beck theatre, fol- lowing there the highly success- ful engagement of the D'Oyly Carte Gilbert and Sullivan troupe from London. Three of London’s most ac- claimed dramatic stars are on the current season’s playbill. Dame Sy- bil ' Thorndike returned after 14 years' absence to play the under- standing mother in “The Distaff Side.” Gertrude Lawrence is book- ed not only for a straight comedy, but also for the musical comedy, “Nymph Errant.” Elizabeth Berg- ner will appear in ‘“Escape Me Never,” a new play from the pen of Margaret Kennedy, well-known novelist. Two foreign stars were imported for the Viennese operetta, “The Great Waltz,” which turned Rocke- feller center into a haven for flesh-and-blood 'shows. They are Marie Burke, London prima donna, and ' Danilova, the Russian bal- lerina. ——————— SHOP IN JUNEAuU: DRuGs AND SUNDRIES or LIQUORS IN A HURRY! PHONE 9 Fast Free Delivery Guy L.

The songs that tell the story of who done her wrong; who went away and left his girl sighing, crying, and without even something to remember him by “Sing Sinner Sing,” the Majestic Picture now playing at the Up- town, is the story of a torch sing- er, whose moanin’ low takes on a new twist, when all the sad tales of unrequited love, which she sings about, come to be part of her own life. The lovely Leila Hyams is the torch singer in this new film, which tells of a night club enter- tainer, Miss Hyams, who marries a young, perpetually drunk, multi- millionaire and, who later, due to a frame-up by one of her past lovers, is accused of murdering her husband, when he is found dead in their apartment after a hilarious, drunken brawl. Paul Lukas is co-starred with Miss Hy- ams and the supporting cast in- cludes Donald Dillaway, Ruth Donnelly, George E. Stone, Joyce Compton and Jill Dennett. How- ard Christy directed the film, which is an adaptation by Edward T. Lowe of a stage play by Wil- son Collison. .
