Splendid Vaudeville Bill To
Be Given At Capitol;
Also Good Picture
Jeador's song from Carmen more
I than please. Another number
worth mentioning is a cornet imi
tation by one of the members of
the team to guitar accompaniment
by the other.
A beautiful act with, gorgeous
costumes and scenic effects. A
distinctly different presentation of
dancing and musical features. The
cast Includes Margaret Knight and
famous American prize winning
beauty: Leroy P.iemer dancer late
of Hollywood barn; J. 8. Knight
in the role of the Doll Maker and
John Knight with his ruoanin'
saxophone.
The action of the story takes
place in the Doll Shop of one J.
Sinitt, doll maker. He is seen
painting the dolls. He falls asleep
and dreams that the dolls come to
life. The act is filled with lilting
music, dancing supreme, rare com
edy and one surprise after another
that holds intense interest to the
finale.
I'proarious laughter is to be
heard throughout the act present
ed by Jeuks & Hartford, and oft
en there Is a strained ear lent.

Comedy Filmed On Unusual
Scale Coming To Elsin
ore for Two Days
The Duncan Sisters, Rosetta
and Vivian, make their screen de
but in "Topsy and .Era." film ver
sion of their own musical comedy
stage success, at the Elsinore thea
ter Sunday and Monday. "Topsy
and Eva" has become widely
known through its engagements in
twenty-three key cities daring
the four years of continuous stage
presentation. United Artists pre
sents the first Duncan Sisters'
film, which Del Lord directed
from the continuity of Scott Darl
ing. The film is based on the
play by Catherine Chisholm Crush
ing. A comedy filmed on a scale un
usual for that type of picture.
"Topsy and Eva" is a black and
white study In laughter, possess
ing that colorful handful of char
acter which Harriet Beecher
Stowe drew in "Uncle Tom's Cab
in" but sending those characters
through adventures that have
never been imprisoned in the
covers of a book. Noble Johnson
Is "Uncle Tom" and Gibson Gow
land Is "Simon Legree." Gowland
was Von Stroheim's "McTeague"
in "Greed." Nils Asther, Swedish
"find" of director Mauritz Stiller,
makes his American screen debut
as "George Shelby." MaTjorle
Daw, Myrtle Ferguson and Henry
Victor are also prominent in the
cast.
In the film little "Eva" doesn't
go to heaven for medical science
has advanced since 1852. "Simon
Legree" doesn't always have the
best of things, even if "the law is
on his side." "Topsy" flees over
snow, not cakes of Ice, and her
fiery steed has snowshoes to boot.
Strange hand leap from mouldy
mounds in graveyards to clutch
at "Topsy's" ankles and "Uncle
Tom" is a lovable fellow, who lets
the little ones play "piggy-back"
with him in the parlor.
The old south, "befo' de wa'."
is strangely covered with snow in
some scenes, while In others it Is
a land of great wooden houses
fronted by massive, white, south
ern colonial pillars and spacious
porticos. Lake Tahoe, Cal., Wil
mington. Cal.. San Pedro. Cal.,
and Hollywood. Cal., are the orig
inal places to which the Duncans
repaired for filming of their Ini
tial screen venture. They man
aged to find snow-capped moun
tains, pre-Clvil War cabins and a
southern colonial mansion, an
within fifty miles of Hollywood.
Interiors' were filmed at the Unit
ed Artists Studio. '
The story of "Topsy and Eva"
parallels only in large, general
terms the "Uncle Tom's Cabin"
narrative. Topsy la auctioned off
to little Eva for a nickel. Simon
Legree is a money-lender who
comes to foreclose a mortgage on
Christmas Eve. Topsy is not
chased by bloodhounds, but by a
nice St. Bernard. There are num
erous entertaining departures
from the accepted facts of the le
gend, but the Duncans say it's all
in fun and life is Just one great,
big laugh. They admit that the
original stage version of "Topsy
and Eva" had 3 47 laughs. Audi
ences at the Elsinore theater will
have to decide about the film. The
motion, picture story is virtually
the same as that of the play, addi
tions and not deletions being the
only changes. .

Patrons of the Elsinore theater
