COMEDY DRAMA l. AT COLISEUM FOR WEEKEND
The Heart of New York with Fine Cast Is Excel
 lent Entertainment

''The Heart of New York" a War, her Brothers and Vitaphone pic ture featuring Joe Smith, Charles Dale, George Sidney and d strong supporting cast is the main attrac- tion on the special weekend pro- gram opening tonight at the Coli scum Theatre.
 From Stage Play
 Based on the stage play, Men del, Inc.," which enjoyed a years run in New York City, during the last theatrical season, ''The Heart of New York" has many of the same cast who were in the stage production. Joe Smith and Charles Dale, prominent for many years as the mainstays of the vaudeville team, "The Ivon Comedy Four have the same parts they played in the New York production. In ad- dition, George Sidney takes the role of Mendel, the family head, who preferred inventing dish-wash- ing machines to securing livli- hood for his family.
 The large supporting cast in- cludes Aline MacMahon, stage star who scored a personal hit as Ed ward G. Robinson's secretary in Five Star Final" and Anna Ap- pei, noted New York actress.
 Story Is Dramatic
 The original play, "Mendel, Inc. ' brought a new type of drama to the stage which has been trans posed to the screen with complete fidelity in The Heart of New York" The story is more dra- matic than comic, comedy, how ever, playing a prominent part in the progress of the drama. "The Heart of New York" contains the pathos of New York's East Side life, frightened by the comic incl dents which occur to real people. The picture is essentially a dra- matic study of how the -four million live, using the Mendel family as the focal point for plot development.
