TO-NIGHT AND TUESDAY

“SIDEWALKS OF NEW YORK.”

Serious troubles make laughable situations for Buster Keaton, in his newest Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer miirtbquake “Sidewalks of New York,” to be screened to-night, and on Tuesday eveni,ng. i Buster plays a millionaire’s son who falls in love with a girl and starts out to reform her ' “tough” younger brother. He builds a gymnasium in the tenemnts and attempts to run it. He tries to stage amateur shows, and to set an example as a big he-man. But tl.e best laid plans go astray. He gets pounded By a prize-fighter, gets a trouncing as a, wrestler—and then a gang leader decides to “rub 'him out.” Between bullets, two hundred small hoys, baseballs, vegetables, and other troubles that, lip lias to dodge, Buster cavorts through a.series of hilarious trials and tribulations and finds that the path of true love is full of cobblestones—but finally turns the tables and wins her.

Anita Page, who played opposite Keaton in “Free and Easy,” is the heroine, and Cliff Edwards contributes added laughs as the comical valet Boggle.
