October 28, 1927 1339 turing the New California program for the week were the Sharp Sisters and their 1111ramba band of 14 girls. At the Plaza one of the best attractions in months was "The Country Doctor." The Vitaphone presentations at the Plaza are proving a permanent drawing card. "The Racing Romeo" found a ready welcome at the Superba. Baltimore (Previous Week) I^HK Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company's "Fair of the Iron Horse," at Halethorpe, Md., near Baltimore, continued to cause a loss of patronage at the moving picture houses in Baltimore during the week beginning Monday, October 3, at the matinees, but. with the exception of a few houses, the buisness done at night was good, for there was a run of cold weather which brought patrons back to the movies. Three houses which stood out with excellent business for the entire week included the Stanley with "Barbed Wire" and Beth Bern and a company of 45 in a revue; at Loew's Valencia "The Way of All Flesh," packed them in; and at Loew's Century Lon Chaney, always a big drawing card in Baltimore, did excellent business in "Mockery" with Van and Schenck on the same bill. The starring combination proved an excellent business getter. Also the week of October 3 marked the first anniversary of the Century, Valencia and Parkway under the regime of Loew's, Incorporated. This was played up in all advertisements and publicity. "When a Man Loves" continued to prove a good business getter at night at W arners' Metropolitan, but the matinees were off. "Silk Stockings" was liked and played to good houses at night at the New Theatre with the matinees off. Ben Lyon, former Baltimorean, in "High Hat," on the bill with live acts of family vaudeville played to good night business, with poor matinees.
