14 THE INDEX, Saturday, May 12,1928
T H E S T A G E A N D S C R E E N
BRENNAN and Rogers,
featured comedians of
musical comedy fame, will
head the Keith-Albee vaudeville
program at the Davis Theatre
next week. Stanley Rogers and
Jay Brennan are female impersonators
who give humorous
characterizations, with no
thought of fooling the public.
They are just "two girls who
like to dish the news." Their
attire is caricature and their conversation
humorous exaggeration.
Steve Freda and Johnny Palace
will entertain with guitar
and harmonica selections while
they converse in scrambled English.
Freda is the comedian and
Palace furnishes him with the
fun shots. A novel and spectacular
musical exhibition will
be Jerry and Her Baby Grands.
Geraldine Valliere directs five
accomplished pianists performing
simultaneously on five baby
grand pianos. Mollie Klinger will
contribute contralto solos. Another
feature will be "Cuckoo,"
a diversified act presented by
Irene Vermillion and ten singers
and dancers. The program will
also include Serge Flash, the
only Occidental expert in Japanese
juggling.
The 'Screen feature, "Why
Sailors Go Wrong," is a comedy
featuring Sammy Cohen, Nick
Stuart, Sally Phills and Ted Mc-
Namara. News features will
close the program.
NIXON
"Wings," the tremendous epic
of the air, closes this coming
week at the Nixon Theatre. The
last two performances are on
Saturday, May 19. This superpicture
with its marvelous effects
and enlarged screen is only
ceasing its run on account of a
previous contract with the
Nixon Stock Company, which
must positively open May 21.
The management of "Wings"
would like to try to express
through these columns, their appreciation
for the co-operation
given to them by the press of
Pittsburgh, the literary clubs,
schools, and the aero organizations.
Without these vital factors,
"Wings," even as near perfect
as it is, could not have been
such a success. If the Nixon
management could induce the
press of Pittsburgh to publish
one-half the letters of congratulation
and commendation about
"Wings" which they have received
from men and women in
all walks of life, they would have
to add several pages to their
regular edition.
CLARA BOW
In "Wings," which begins its sixth and
last week at the Nixon Theatre May 14.
"Wings" is the story of the
war in the air, made with the
assistance and co-operation of
the United States government
because of its interest in aeronautics.
Most of it was taken
on an improvised battle area of
five square miles near San Antonio,
Texas, where the government
assembled and loaned to
the Paramount Company, equipment
valued at some $14,000,000
and from all the flying fields in
the country came seasoned aviators
to instruct and actually appear
in many of the scenes.
The youthful cast includes
Clara Bow, Charles Rogers,
Richard Arlen, Jobyna Ralston,
Gary Cooper, Arlette Marchal.
It was directed by William A.
Wellman, a young man from
Massachusetts, who during the
war served his country and
served it well as a member of the
Lafayette Escadrille.
STANLEY
Another big week of stage
features and motion picture offerings
will begin at noon Monday
at the Stanley Theatre. On
the stage there will be a "Jazz
Carnival" composed of fifty or
more musical comedy favorites,
headed by Frances White, presenting
a fast-moving mirth and
melody revue. Among the featured
players will be Al and Ray
Samuels, Charles Rozella, Markel
and Faun, Collette Sisters, Maryon
Vadie Dancers, and presiding
over it all will be Phil Spitalny.
A special orchestral feature
will be "Master Melodies," compiled
by Phil Spitalny from the
Italian Operas, and interpreted
thelmess in "Little Shepherd of
Kingdom Come." News Reels
and Topics of the Day will complete
the program.
