THE NEW REGENT
REMARKABLE DRAMA Behind the clown’s white and rouge in the make-up of “Toberchick” in “You Never Know Women,” a Paramount picture showing at the New Regent, we find one of the best-known stars of vaudeville making his screen debut. He is El Brendel, formerly part of “Brendel and Burt,” a duo that has played theatres from Maine to Mexico.
El Brendel, the first man to portray a Swedish comedy character, and best remembered for his break-a-way dress suit, the manipulation of which sent many an audience into convulsions, furnishes comedy relief for Florence Vidor’s first starring vehicle. It is safe to say that never before has a vaudeville show created such a sensation as that of the Armand Brothers, gymnasts extraordinary, whose feats of tumbling, and their final amazing triple somersault, worked the house to a pitch of excitement on Saturday evening. Eddie Horton plays an exceptionally good programme on the mighty Wurlitzer and the Operatic Orchestra, under the baton of Maurice Guttridge, gives its usual excellent performance.
