all along that Mexican dancing

of the . steps look curiously like

At Grand Theatre
Timely is the word for Mono
gram's "Streets ot New . York,"
which opened yesterday at the
Grand theatre with Jackie Coo
per, in the starring role. Timely
because the film deals with the
American Way, 'demonstrating
that from rags to riches is still
possible in one country, that
right does not depend npon
might, and that, even in the face
of .tremendous odds, we can still
find Inspiration from the lives
pf . great men. . . '.'"."
"Streets ot Hew xora" is. xne
story of Jimmy Keenan, who be
lieved in honesty, jimmy sup
ports himself and a little crip
pled boy by 'running a news
stand, goes to-night school to
study law, and is known as
"the Abe Lincoln of 10th -Avenue."

Public Enemy No. 1 a New

Tap" Keenan wants , to help

a cent of "blood money."
The clash between these two
eodes of conduct, and Jimmy's
efforts to. inspire his -little 7 pal
Glmpy" with - a belief .in right

major themes ; ot "Streets of
New York."
! In a thrilling climax, as "Tap"

solved. - .
