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 />

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 />
