Telephone 4391. Delivery Service 3333. Ritz Theatre on East Sixth to Be Opened Today Two Black Crows Bert Lytell Star Of Opening Day's Feature Picture Billed at Queen picture for Paramount, titled "VThy Bring That Up?" The comedy team needs no introduction to the public. Their appearances as blackface comedians in George White's "Scandals," Earl Carroll's "Vanities," and Ziegfield's "Follies" have made these two never-smiling, drawling characters known as the two funniest men in America. Their comedy methods are unique.

They never hurry and seldom display life of any kind. Needless to say. their dialogue is uproarous, much of its success depends upon the lazy, tired, bored method by which Moran and Mack put it over. In support of the two is Evelyn Rrent in the leading feminine role, playing opposite Harry Green, who is cast as the manager of the Two Black Crows. The production is said to be lavish in every way and to present a variety of beautiful stase scenes.

The story of "Why Bring That was especially written for Moran and Mack by Octavus Roy Cohen, famous as the creator of the popular "Darktown Birmingham" stories.
