Talkie Town HARRY RICHMAN is sandwiching-in a vaudeville engagement at a downtown theater between the work of preparing for his first picture, The Song of Broadway, to be made soon by United Artists. Harry's favorite amusement is singing. He sings at home, he sings in his dressing room. In his spare time he sings for his friends, that is, when he isn't going places with Clara Bow.
