NEW YORK Feb Is u.NsJ
The death of the late Arnold Roth
stein has failed to interfere with
Broadway's famous Floating dice
game
Neither have the recent sensa'
tional police activities against the
underworld created the slightest
ripple of discomfort among the fas
cinating characters known as big
time gamblers.
The game is still held nightly
Just as 1t was in the past before
the white glare of publicity en-
veloped 1t when Rothstein was
strangely murdered.
Easy to Locate
1t is comparatively easy to To-
cate the game of a night, pro-
vided, of course, that you are IN

If you are fortunaUe-or unfor"
tunate-enough to possess n
needed information you walk casu'
ally past a certain Broadway cor

carefully you will see director

You give the man high sign"
Perhaps you raise your eyebrows,
cock your hat to one side of your
nead, or cough in a distinctive
manner. 1t doesn't matter. The
: sign is known to you and the
director.
Once the director is'convinced you
are alright, he will approach you,
ind then, without uttering word,
will quietly slip you small piece
If white paper.
You don't look at the note until
YOU have continued your stroll for

eptitious of glances is sufficient.

i,e the street and number of
well known night club, where back
room'' facilities are pee u iarly
dapted to gambling. or it may be
the address of a private apartment.
One thing is certain, however, the
address is always some place with
in that district called Broadway,
which is to say the street of that
name or any of it's intersecting
noroughfares between Forty second

The William Fox Movietone Fol-
lies Of the talking pictures, is to
have its Valley premier at the Rivoli
theater, San Benito, today, and it
is safe to say that It is awaited with
more interest by moviegoers than
any of the other audible productions
shown SO far, because Of its I'M
usual nature.
Nine young screen and stage fav-
orites head the list of principals and
served not only to interpret charac-
tiers in the story, which concerns
backstage life, but lead the many
singing and dancing numbers. They
are Sue Carol, Lola Lane, Sharon
Lynn. John Breeder, Dixie Lee, Da-
vid Percy, David Rollins, Frank
Richardson and Stepin Fetchit,
Miss Carol often has portrayed the
role of a jazz mad flapper on the
screen. When the talkies came
along she was not found wanting,
for she has a fetching voice and can
can dance as well as the most tai
ented Broadway "hoofer." Her
chief speciality in the Fox Movietone
Follies is 1.-The Breakaway," a new
song-and-dance number of dis
tinct originality.
Miss Lane was the girl in the
Fox Movietone all-talking feature,
"Speakeasy." She came to pictures
from Broadway, where she was in
the Greenwich Village Follies and
later was George Jessel's leading
lady in THE War Song" She sings
the big City Blues" in the Follies.
