VICTORIA, DEVONPORT
Life behind the stage is revealed in • 'Broad'way Scandals, 1930.” which is at the Victoria Theatre, Devonport. The “Pepper Box Revue” Company having become bankrupt, two of the members. Ted Howard, song and dance man, and Mary, who is in love with him, try to present a vaudeville act. They are unsuccessful, but Howard is offered a position with Valeska, a Broadway musical comedy principal. Mary is dismissed through jealousy by Valeska. Howard, hearing of it, leaves Valeska’s company, and joins Mary in a vaudeville act. The leading parts are taken by Sally O’Neil, Jack Egan and Carmel Myers.
A little piece of Life—pathetic and human —is given in “Young Nowheres,” starring Richard Barthelmess. This versatile actor portrays in this production the role of an elevator boy—lonely, inarticulate—and Marian Nixon gives an intensely appealing portrayal of the girl who loves him. “Young Nowheres” is a simple drama of two workers in one of New York’s large hotels, but it is so splendidly acted that it takes its place as one of the best pictures of the year.
