It is “Look and | Listen” entertainment of the highest | type &nd Richard Dix's votee is an excellent one for the talking screen. Richard Dix proves to have a | superior capacity for the require- } ments of the role of the truth-teller. He gives a fine comedy portrayal { without recourse to buffoonery. Helen Kane as a member of a sing- | ing sister-act is winsome, appealing and excruciatingly funny. Her baby- talk songs arc.a big part of the show. The vaudeville program has five | exceptionally good acts featured by Seed and Austin, Broadway comics |in their screamingly funny offering, ‘Success.” Dallas Walker and Sis- ter offer a very pleasing song, dance | and rope spinning novelty; Hamilton and Harlan offer e Frisco Harmonists en- n royally with Leah Warwick. the dancing dandy; and Gerardo Adair Co. show the most sensational dancing seen here this season. On Thursday the Strand will offer Ramon Novarro in “The Pagan,” a sound feature in which he sings in a rich tenor voice. and is ably assist- ed by an all star cost including Rence Adore On Sunday Jeanne Eagels will ba presented in the all-talking drama “The Letter.” e Aero club of Berlin has been givea $5,000 by the Guggenheim | foundation for the starting of an |archive on aviation. —_ r————— | ARE YOU GOING?
