PRINCE EDWARD
VAUDEVILLE AND PICTURES
“Private Izzy Murphy,” which will be shown at the Prince Edward Theatre to-night, stars George Jessel, the famous “Jazz Singer.” Featured with Jessel are Patsy Ruth Miller and Vera Gordon. An excellent company is in support, and the filming was directed by Lloyd Bacon, son of Frank Bacon, star and author of “Lightnin’.” “Private Izzy Murphy” is the story of Izzy Goldberg, a young delicatessen keeper of New York, and of his dealings with the Irish. For business reasons he decides to change his name to “Murphy,” and goes overseas with an Irish regiment under that name. The story does not burlesque racial traits, but is a play with that
“touch of nature” which “makes the whole world kin.”
A large vaudeville programme will also be presented this evening.
