MARY, JOHNNY AND SCOOTER ON PARADE Three of Our Gang Kids Come to Life on the Current Variety Bill at the Lyric Theater and Make Good. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN, IT is a rather tough job to jump from the movie screen to the variety st^ge. And it is a more difficult job for three of Our Gang Kids to make the jump than it would be for an adult. The public for years has had its own definite dreams, about Mary’ Korman. the leading lady; Johnny Downs, the juvenile lover of Mary, and "Scooter” Lowry’, the original tough guy. Now they are here in person and we get the thought when seeing them that they are growing up and it will not be long until they must
drop the title of “kids.” It is really Scooter who gets the great love of the audience. He is a cute kid and the youngster knows how to clown and yet not give the impression that he is acting. Scooter has a natural way about him. He is still small and probably will never be a giant. Mary does her impression of Mae Murray and does a Gilda Gray dance. Johnny still looks like a typical American youngster, but he is growing up too. He is a good hoofer. The act will please the children because the Our Gang Kids are their national heroes and idols. Parson and Hawks have a good singing act. Their voices are good, they steer clear of too much comedy and revive a numbre of the old tunes. The act clicks solidly. There is a magician on the bill called Gwynne. He is assisted by two girls. His gold fish act is splendid. He does not attempt a very elaborate act, but he works easily and has a nice way of getting into the good graces of his audience. I missed the first act. /Guess the hot weather is slowing me up. The movie feature is Myrna Loy in “Hardboiled Rose.” Now at the Lyric. am* The Mutual has opened Its season with burlesque and the offering this week is "French Models,” with Viola Elliott and Jim Bennett. Other theaters today offer: "Four Feathers,” at the Circle; "Take It From Me,” at the Colonial; "Our Modern Maidens,” at the Palace; "Lucky Star,” at the Apollo; “The Greene Murder Case,” at the Indiana; “River of Romance*” at the Ohio, and movies at the Granada.
