"HONKY TONK.".
"SOPHIE" THE ORIGINAL
SHIMMY SHAKER.
A trado notico states:
Sophie Tucker, the original shimmy shaker, is at the Queen's Theatre in Honky Tonk, Warner. Bros, latest talking, singing Vita- phone production
Though that above fact has been quite generally overlooked, vaude- ville's famous "red hot, mamma” was really the one who introduced the shimmy to New York, and thereby induced a gasp which was heard the entire length of the Great White Way, for Sophie, al- ways in the vanguard of her pro- fession, shivered with such vigorous abandon that she shook the city to its foundations and gave the Broad- wayite something new to talk about. Some time later the enterprisin Miss Tucker found Gilda Gray doing a shiver in Chicago to such amall returns, that she immediate ly took an interest in her, and after "building up" her import ance, took Gilda to New York and aided her in getting the proper start in the Metropolis. Within a short time Gilda Gray Was TC- cognized as America's lending "ex ponent of the shimmy. Sophie ex fulted.
My friends have been telling ine for years," she said recently, that if I don't stop extending help to younger performers soine protégé of mine will come along and step into my shoes. But in Gilda's ease it wasn't my shoes, anyway!"
"Honky Tonk," a story of the mother love of a cabaret songstress, was written by Leslie. S. Barrows and adapted for the screen by Graham Baker. The east includes beside Miss Tucker, Lila Lee,. Audrey Ferris, Georges Duryen, Mahlon Hamilton and John T. Murray as well as a host of singers and dagcers.
"SIN OF MADELON CLAUDET."
HELEN HAYES FOR THE QUEEN'S.
A trade notice states:
It is 30 secret that the Haree often makes actors and actresses look considerably younger than they do in actual life. Therefore, when stage players make their first ap- pearance before the camera they are invariably assured by their frienda that they will look twice as beautz- ful under the guidance of studio saakeup experts.
This rule was reversed, however, when Helen Hayes, New York stage star, made her Shn debut in "The Sin, of Madelan Claudet," which Japóns at the Queen's Theatre to
morrow for during the co11THO of the story Miss Hayes was called upon to age some fifty years.
