R A Y Dooley emerges as a
full-fledged star in Eddie
Dowling's "Sidewalks of
New York," which Charles Dillingham
will present at the Nixon
Theatre for the week commencing
Monday night, March
12, after a long engagement at
the Knickerbocker Theatre, New
York. A gifted player, Miss
Dooley will be revealed not only
as an impish, rough-and-ready
tomboy, but also as the possessor
of powers to sway the deeper
emotions.
RAY DOOLEY
In "Sidewalks of New York," which
comes to the Nixon for the week
of March I 2.
"Sidewalks of New York"
comes here with the warmest
critical commendation of the
New York critics. It was described
as a kaleidoscopic entertainment
filled to overflowing
with clever players, vaudevillians,
singers and dancers, and
acclaimed because of its wit and
humor, dashing and spirited
melodies, appealing songs, dancing
features and ensembles.
Eddie Dowling wrote the play
and the music was contributed
by Jimmy Hanley. They collaborated
on "Honeymoon Lane,"
Dowling's whirlwind success of
this and last season.
Miss Dooley, as an orphan girl
in love with a budding architect
taken from a home by a wealthy
friend of the Governor of New
York, has never been seen to better
advantage. With characteristic
prodigality Mr . Dillingham
has mounted the production and
cast the company. Among the
hundred odd entertainers are
Smith and Dale, Fiske O'Hara,
Elizabeth Murray, Linda, Ruby
Keeler, Dick Keene, Jim Thornton,
Josephine Sabel, Calm and
Gale, Barney Fagan, Will and
Gladys Ahern, Frank Kingdon,
Harry Short, Winifred Harris,
Carl Francis, Cecil Owen, Henry
Dowling and an excellent dancing
chorus.
Edgar MacGregor staged the
extravaganza and Earl Lindsay
arranged the dances.
STANLEY
Emil Jannings, one of the
greatest character actors of the
stage or screen today, is the star
of "The Last Command," the
feature photoplay scheduled for
the week of March 12, at the
new Stanley Theatre. It is a
story of the red revolt in Russia,
showing Jannings as a mighty
general, strictly military, but beloved
by his men. He befriends

a girl, but imprisons her companion.
The girl, in turn, saves
him from death at the hands of
revolutionists. He then comes
to America in search of his rescuer
and the story takes an unusual
twist. Supporting the star
is a capable cast including Evelyn
Brent, William Powell, Nicholas
Soussanin and Michael Visaroff.
The international singing
comedienne, Sophie Tucker, has
been engaged as the stage attraction.
With her in the act are
her son, Bert Tucker, and the
Six Tivoli Girls. They will present
a lively act of music and
dances with Miss Tucker as the
leading spirit. News Pictures
will be included in the program.
DAVIS
The Keith-Albee vaudeville
program at the Davis Theatre
next week will be headed by
Nick Lucas, "The Crooning
Troubador," and the screen attraction
announced is "Peaks of
Destiny."
Lucas became known first as a
phonograph artist and his name
became a household word because
of the manner in which he
put over his songs. "Crooning"
on the stage may be said to have
originated with this popular
singer, though other artists
have since adopted it. In his
act he will give a program of his
Record Song Hits.
Another act of importance is
Rodrigo and Lila, who come
direct from London and Paris to
offer a series of dances interestingly
assembled into a picturesque
program of international
flavor.
Coram, England's Premier
Ventriloquist, with Jerry, will
present "Whitehall, London."
The scene is a replica of the
"Horse Guards," one of England's
historical landmarks,
where thousands of people go
daily to watch the changing of
guards. Coram and Jerry are
troopers in this famous regiment.
The little dummy is an
ingenious piece of mechanism,
constructed so that its arms,
legs and head move like a human
being. Coram is more than a
ventriloquist. He has a super
developed sense of humor. Other
acts scheduled are Eileen and
Marjorie, in miraculous tumbles
; Harry Bentell and Helen
Gould, the Dancing Xylophonists,
and the Three Swifts, in
clever juggling stunts.
