STRAND
“LITTLE JOHNNY JONES” “Little Johnny Jones,” an elaborate First National production of the fam- i ous George M. Cohan stage hit, is at | the Strand Theatre with Eddie Buzzell ! in tho title role as the Yankee Doodle jockey, Alice Day opposite him as the heroine, and a large cast of film favourites in support. Tho story in the modern screen version packs a triple punch. Its greatest thrills come in three big horse races, tho last being at the worldfamous English Derby, and they pro- | vide plenty of gasps; throughout the I picture. Buzzell-s comedy, famous on Broadway, keeps the spectator laughling; and the love story is said to be charming and unusual. “Honky Tonk,” Warner Brothers latest production, which comes next I Friday t.. the Strand Theatre, presents ! Sophie Tucker as an entertainer in a I spectacular night club in New l ork City In real life. Miss Tucker has tilled exactly the same positions at Reisenwebers and tho Playground in New York, the Rendezvous in Chicago, the Kit Kat Club in London, and many other well-known cabarets. “Honky Tonk” is a gay tale of New York night life and a mother’s love. Others in tho cast are Lila Lee, Audrey Ferris and George Duryea.
