FILM FOLLIES Bucking Broadway Directed by Scott Sidney Story by Frank R. Conklin Photographed by Nagy and Phillips THE CAST The Broadway Boy Neal Bums The Musical Comedy Star Vera Steadman Father Lincoln Plumer Stage Manager Tommy O’Brien Chief Belle de Danse Isabel Bryant Justice of the Peace — Henry Murdock Fast action on the part of Neal Burns, Henry Murdock, “Madame,” Vera Steadman and Lincoln Plumer. The principals in this back stage rollicking romance. The stage atmosphere is carried out in detail to the last pony in “Bucking Broadway.” NEW CHRISTIE “BUCKING BROADWAY” PRODUCED in SPECIAL CLASS “Bucking Broadway” features Neal Burns and is one of the most pretentious two • reel comedies which the Christie studios have turned out this year on the Educational program. The story of “Bucking Broadway” is written around a background of the Great White Way at night in all its brilliancy, with Burns playing the part of a gilded vouth whose father goes to great lengths to get him to drop an actress, with the result that the “old man” thinks the girl is entirely too good for such a careless youth. When “Father” takes her out to dinner and “buys a piece of the show” to keep his son out of the theatre the fun becomes fast and furious. Vera Steadman, who recently returned to the studio after an absence of several months, plays opposite Burns in the role of the leading lady of "The Balky Princess” musical comedy. Lincoln Plumer is the father, and Henry Murdock has a comedy role as a justice of the peace who has to double as a chorus girl. The Christie staff, under the direction of Scott Sidney, built a replica of New York’s Music Box Theatre and another famous setting, the Ship Cafe, as backgrounds for the picture. Thirty dancing girls under the direction of Isabel Bryant, furnish the ensemble chorus scenes which take place in the musical comedy within the two-reeler. The new comedy will be released early in June and follows such pictures as “Cold Feet,” with Viora Daniel, and “A Hickory Hick,” featuring Bobby Vernon. Page Six
