The eternal struggle between
the younger and older generation
is taken up in a vigorous, colorful
and exciting manner in the motion
picture production of "Restless
Youth," the screen atraction at the
Oriental Theater the week begin-
ning Sunday. It will be offered in
coniunction with a program of
Keith vaudeville acts.
The Memphis Collegians, from
down south and hotter than their
name, form the musical aggrega-
tion which will headline the vaude-
ville hill for the week.
Gerber's Gaieties is a colorful
revue offering something different
in the way of terpsichorean divert
isments. Jack Riano heads the
company of seven, which includes
the Dawn Sisters, 011ie Northlane,
the Corbett Twins and Joe Wil-
liams. The final is both unusual
and effective. It is a barnyard ro-
mance with the entire company
dressed as chickens. Ruth Warren
and Company in "Crossed Wires"
humorously demonstrate the com-
plications, humorous and other-
wise, that arise when connections
are lammed. Other acts also are
listed.
