ZEMZEMS ENTERTAIN
BY VAUDEVILLE SHOW
Zem Zemers, when they try, are en
titled to be called "community clowns."
They proved It at their first stage ap
pearance at the Murray theatre Fri
day night.
From the time the Zem Zem orches
tra, composed of Frank Holland, David
Fehr, Carl Weisbrod, Bert Russell and
Howard Hunt, entered the pit, until
the close of the stage performance, the
amused audience was uncertain what
to look for next.'
Frank Holland as "himself," Harry
Holmes as "Laughing Pete," and How
ard Hunt as "Slew-foot Mose," were a
big hit. Their hat trick took the
house.
Walter McWhinney, Ray Stevens, HI
Puckett and Frank Holland,- as the
Zem Zem quartet, first sang a comic
opera, which could not be beat for
humor. They lated proved they could
blend their voices in true quartet
style when they san "Sweet Adeline."
Many were disappointed when it
was learned that Sam Fred, who was
1o have proven a feature attraction,
was unable to be present.
Throughout the evening Frank Hol
land proved himself an excellent host,
by vocal solos, phrases of wit. and a
cortlial manner. Dancing and refresh
ments were enjoyed following the
show.

MURRETTE
In the picturization of "Old Dad,"
the ETeanor Hallowell Abbott story,
starring Mildred Harris Chaplin, it de
veloped that Charlie Chaplin Is not
tho only member of the Chaplin fam
ily who has the ability to extract
laughs, according to the statement of
Louis B. Mayer, Mrs. Chaplin's man
ager. In choosing a director, Mr. Mayer
picked Lloyd Ingraham, who, besides
being somewhat funny himself, lias
a reputation for producing successful
comedies. 1
"Old Dad," which will be shown as
Mrs. Chaplin's latest First National
release at the Murrette Theatre, be
ginning Sunday, is not a comedy in
any sense, however. But Mr. Ingra
ham discovered that Mrs. Chaplin's
sense of humor is of the keenest 301-t.
Consequently he injected just enough
comical situations to keep the story
from becoming too heavy and to per
mit the charming little blond star to
show her hitherto hidden talent.
Mildred is Roing to stick with the
serious-minded drama, but that isn't
going to keep her from developing
a humorous situation every once in a
while, according to Mr. Mayer.

ONE MAN, AND WHAT HE DID
He was in the background of all their lives sinister, shadowy,
evil, threatening.
To little Elsie he brought suffering untold.
To the loving mother-heart he brought stark tragedy.- To Janet ho
brought indirectly unhappiness. And in the end he reaped his
just reward, for Right triumphed, as it always must.
No more engrossing story of life was ever brought to the screen
than that which is told in this gripping drama. It has countless
thrills, innumerable dramatic incidents, and it is brightened thru
out by a charming love tale.
