There are two Broadways in the
world-one OF them that almost

anything about the actors and
actresses has seen time and again.

The fact that there Ii another
Broadway in New York which Is
also quite as prominent as a prone

has a number OF bright lights and
cafes is rather confusing to a lot OF
people. and 1t has confused q num-
Der Of motion picture directors. The
directors have been SO confused that
up TO q short time ago they were
accustomed TO take pictures Of
broadway. Los Angeles. or Market

Broadway. New York.
But trouble came because. while

porting an entire company across the

expensive. but the motion picture
