CRIMSON PLAYGOER

A fast-moving musical comedy extravaganza, The Greenwich Village Follies, starring York and King and fifty entertainers, is announced as the stage show billed for the Keith-Boston Theatre, Friday, while the screen will feature "The Lost Patrol" with Victor McLaglen and a big cast.

Many distinctive features are to be found in the 1934 edition of "The Greenwich Village Follies." Chich York and Rose King are its co-stars. They are ably assisted by Coley Worth, comedian; Edith Drake, prima donna; Ayres and Rene, with Rasche, adaglo dancers; True Yorke, daughter of the headliners; Ernest Charles, stage, screen and radio tenor; the Greenwich Village male octette, and Ruby Norton, musical comedy and vandeville favorite. The Three California Redheads, feminine dancing beauties, are an added feature attraction. The ensemble is made up of thirty Greenwich Village beauties.

The eighteen scenes employed through the revue follow in spirited succession. Comedy, song and dance specialties are offered alternately before the soft curtains and more elaborate stage settings.

The savage menace of the desert with its blazing sun and blinding sandstorms, and the varied emotions of eleven men facing inevitable death at the hands of unseen enemies, are woven into "The Lost Patrol", a powerful screen play with Victor McLaglen, Boris Karloff, Reginald Denny, Alan Hale and other distinguished film luminaries. The story deals with a detachment of British cavalrymen who become aimless wanderers on the Mesopotamian desert when their officer is killed by Arabs. Only the officer knew where they were, what their orders were and when and where they were to rejoin their brigade. That knowledge died with him. The talking picture was adopted from the famous Philip MacDonald novel, "Patrol".
