What Carrie Nation, that ardent prohibitionist of the gay nineties,; called a "den of iniquity" is the1 scene of much of the excitement; that takes place in "The Bowery," which is one of the most refreshingly refresh-ingly amusing comedy dramas to 1 be screened in a long time. In fact its fun gets hilarious and its melodrama riotous. Wallace . Beery, George Raft and Jackie Cooper , are starred in this 20th Century Picture theii first, by the the way, and an achievement to be proud of play--ing at the Rivoli theater. Each' star is provided with an equal opportunity op-portunity by a story that deals with real characters who made, the Bowery the "livest mile on the face of the globe" in its heydey. That day was the period of tM swinging door saloon, the honky1 tonk, white slavers, volunteer firej brigades and such "hot" songs numbers as "Ta-ra-ra Boom De-Ay." De-Ay." And it was the day of bustles, bangs and ruffled bathing suits for women. It was also thd dayof John L. Sullivan and bare-knuckled bare-knuckled ring battles, and Carrie; Nation and hatchet raids on saloons. |
