When Old Broadway Was Young!

THOSE WERE THE DAYS! Flapperless, ginless, jazziess-but

a stirring time of real romance flower- ing amidst the conflicts and passions of a great metropolis in the making. Marion Davies, in her greatest triumph, shows herself a superb comedienne- She'll make you roar with glee, then move you to tears.

A rollicking, frolicking whirlwind of joy and thrills!
