Have you -ever stood in narrow, winding street at dusk 3 listened to children singing s es of opera? Have you ever loite! in an Italian market and counted twenty varying shades of green, as expressed in twenty different bot- tles of olives? Of course you have, if you spend much time in New York. As almost everybody knows, this is a city of Italians no less than it is a city of the Irish and the Jews.

Dorothy Lamour Lloyd Nolan Guizar, Maxine Sullivan and Mz “Punkins” Parker forming a tudded cast, it opens Sunday at the Coliseum Theatre. “St Louis Blues” deals with show boat of the present day, and there is very little of the “ole man ribber” touch about it. Such mod- ern gadgets as contract oblig short wave dios, de luxe t and publicity agents all have their part in the plot. The chief struggle is between Miss Lamour, who wants to stay and sing on Nolan's show boat, and her tyrannical manager, who has her bound to him by a rigid contract Tonight ends the double attrac tion “Secret Service of the Air, and Jack Londons “Wolf Call.” “St song a gether as clannishly as many na- tionalities do.
