GRAND THEATRE
TO-NIGHT. Film fans who excpcted Erich Von Stroheim's first talking pictnre to retain the dramatic punch and intensity of his silent successes, were undoubtedly more than satisfied when "Wlalking- Down Broadway," Fox drama ft aturing James Dunn and Boots Mallory, was fiashed on the screen of the Grand Theatre last night. Presenting a realistic and human story of present-day life in the shadows of New York's Great White IVlay, the drama gripped the emotions at the very start and moved with accelerating tempo to a powerful climax involving each of the five principals. James Dunn again demonstrates his ability as an emotional actor in a role tailor-made for him — that of an intensely earnest youth struggling against the terrific odds of the Big City. His leading lady, Boots Mallory, hailed as a new screen find, is a charming blue-eyed blonde from the South. She proved to be everything advance notices have claimed for her. Von Stroheim's strong and able direction was highly evid.nt in the finished performance she gave.
