We have seen quite a lot of tap- dancing here, but these two youngsters bring with them something unique and original, and we have not the alightest hesitation in recommending a visit to the King's Theatre on Sun- day when they will be on the stage in all four performances.

A tour of New York's exclusive night spots!

If anyone were to attempt a jaunt through all of the "rendezvous for relaxation in the U. S. metropolis during one evening it would be ne cessary to make an outlay sufficient to pay off a large part of that old mort- gago with enough left over to send the kiddies to the country and pay grandma's dentist bill.

But for those who would like to get a glimpse.of famous and infamous falk at play with a minimum of monetary discomfort, a new picture has been filmed, titled "Made on Broadway," with Robert Montgomery and Sally Eilers in leading roles, and comes on Sunday to the Queen's Theatre. It is based on an original story by Coutanay Terrett, who acquired a fund of in- formation on New Yorkers and their habits during his many years as a newspaperman.

To destrible the fainous star in seven-.. teen words and complete a portrait as this is no mean feat. Coleman himself likes to feel that he is a cosmopolite. English traditions are deeply imbedded in his nature and color his outlook on life, but his intellect leans sharply to internalism.

In his own case, Coleman has so far declined to make an artifical gesture toward an Amercian naturalization. He sees no point in it in his own case. If there is a reason strong enough then it is the thing to do, he says. Bat Coleman has a deep respect and an intelligent love for bis homeland,

He was born in England, educated there spent his boyhood and his youth there, fought for her in the World War these are things not easily brushed aside by the simple gesture of naturali- zation,
