BLONDE AND BRUNETTE
BOTH CAST IN “DRAG” The new Vitaphone talking picture, “Drag,” lias two leading ladies, a blonde and a brunette. The blonde marries the hero, but he runs away with the brunette. Director Frank Lloyd selected Alice Day and Lila Lee to play these roles because he believed that blondes are nearly always of a more passive disposition than brunettes. They are, he believes, steadier and more reliable. And in this connection he quotes a published statement by the Commissioner of Police in New York City some years ago, that brunettes are arrested for careless driving oftener than are their fair-haired sisters. A complete musical show is reproduced by the Vitaphone process in “Drag,” and a beautiful, haunting song entitled “My Song of the Nile” is. played and sung by a large stage ensemble. CAROL CONCERT The Municipal Choir will give its annual Carol Concert in the Town Hall on Saturday evening next. The choir will have the assistance of Mrs. Cyril Towsey, vocalist; Miss Molly Wright, ’cellist; and Messrs. Hdgar Randall, Cyril Towsey and Leo Whittaker, accompanists. Mr. Maughan Barnett, city organist, will conduct.
