T H E S T A G E A N D S C R E E N<br />

ETHEL DAVIS<br />

Will appear on the Davis Theatre<br />

program next week.<br />

NED Wayburn's Buds of<br />

1928, an aggregation of<br />

youthful coryphees, will<br />

hold headline position in the<br />

Keith-Albee vaudeville program<br />

at the Davis Theatre next week,<br />

while the photoplay feature will<br />

be "Almost Human," with Vera<br />

Reynolds and Kenneth Thomson.<br />

The insignia of Ned Wayburn<br />

on a dancing act is always a<br />

guarantee of excellence. In his<br />

company this season are eight<br />

debutantes schooled under the<br />

master's direction, and appear­<br />

ing under the leadership of Peter<br />

S. Larkin, a dancer of great ability,<br />

who has appeared as feature<br />

artist here and abroad. There<br />

are ten scenes to the revue, each<br />

consisting of three or more numbers,<br />

staged in colorful settings.<br />

Ethel Davis, singing comedienne,<br />

late of the Greenwich Village<br />

Follies, will contribute a<br />

skit known as "Refreshing Song<br />

Chatter," made up of comedy<br />

bits punctuated with character<br />

songs. The frozen North has<br />

been selected by Chisholm and<br />

Breen as the setting for their<br />

humorous offering, "A Frozen<br />

Romance," in which they prove<br />

there is fun in the snow country,<br />

if one knows how to get it out.<br />

Nelson B. Clifford and Marie<br />

Marion, another important booking,<br />

are an ideal comedy combination.<br />

They came to vaudeville<br />

from musical comedy, after<br />

appearing in "Katinka" and<br />

other successes. Inez and De-<br />

Wyn will present an art classic<br />

"Adagio," said to be a perfect<br />

blend of grace and poetry with<br />

the higher form of acrobatics.<br />

The screen feature, "Almost<br />

Human," an appealing story by<br />

Richard Harding Davis, will<br />

show Vera Reynolds, as star,<br />

supported by Kenneth Thomson,<br />

a Pittsburgh boy and a graduate<br />

of Carnegie Tech Dramatic<br />

School. The program will include<br />

views of up-to-the-minute<br />

happenings in the world news.<br />

STANLEY<br />

A chance ride in a motor car<br />

saved her life—and then ruined<br />

it. Lured from a train by the<br />

honeyed words of a lover she<br />

drove through the countryside<br />

for a few hours. The train went<br />

on and was wrecked, killing<br />

nearly every soul on board. That<br />

is the story told in Pola Negri's<br />

latest starring picture "Three<br />

Sinners" which is coming to the<br />

Stanley next week.<br />

What happened when she read<br />

the news of her own death in the<br />

morning papers? What faltering<br />

words came to her lips when<br />

she stood face to face with her<br />

stern father-in-law in her lover's<br />

house? What did she do when<br />

that father-in-law said with icy<br />

finality, "My daughter-in-law is<br />

dead—she died last night in the<br />

wrecked train!"<br />

"Three Sinners," one of the<br />

greatest of Pola Negri's starring<br />

vehicles, tells with tense drama<br />

this great story and the answer<br />

to these questions. Paul Lukas,<br />

Tullio Carminati, and Olga Baclanova<br />

appear in support of the<br />

star.<br />

The stage program will feature<br />

a colorful revue, "In Bermuda,"<br />

with the Eight Revelers,<br />

Williams and Douglas, Sully and<br />

Coogan, Madeleine Killileen, and<br />

the Leibling sisters, presenting<br />

specialties under the leadership<br />

of Phil Spitalny, Pittsburgh's<br />

popular director. In addition to<br />

providing the music incidental to<br />

,.M*s«8a(v NIXON<br />

"Wings," which has been<br />

playing to such tremendous<br />

business for the past ' three<br />

weeks at the Nixon Theatre, and<br />

Monday matinee, April 30, is a<br />

movie of War at its most spectacular—from<br />

the air. A simple<br />

story serves as thread upon<br />

which to string exciting incidents.<br />

The War Department<br />

aided in the filming; five miles<br />

of Texas terrain were bombed<br />

and blasted for atmosphere;<br />
