"The Great White Way," the "surprise" picture woven im and around life on Broadway, will have its premiere in this city Monday at the Capitol Theatre. The new film, picturized from H. C. Witwer's popular story, "Cain and Mabel," is the first motion picture ever pre- sented which accurately draws a graphic illustration of the world's most famous thoroughfare and those persons who bask in its artificial light. In bringing to the screen this pul- sating story of a phase of New York life, the Cosmopolitan Corporation has assembled a brilliant all-star cast to impersonate the characters created by Witwer. The cast in- cludes Anita Stewart, as Mabel Vap- dergrift, the dancing star and toast of Broadway; Oscar Shaw in' the role of Joe Cain, world's welter- weight champion; T. Roy Barnes as the breezy press agent, and Tom Lewis, Dore Davidson, Harry Wat- son, Olin Howland, Hal Forde, Stan- ley Forde and Billy Gould. Scores of New York celebrities whose fame in sports, theatricals, arts, literature and other lines of en- deavor has become world-wide also appear 'in the cast of "The Great White Way." Included among these are Tex Rickard, famous fight pro- motér; Irvin S. Cobb, H. C. Witwer, author of "Cain and Mabel" andsnu- merous other stories; Arthur "Bugs" Baer, humorist; Damon Runyon, ce- lebrated sports writer; NeM Brink- ley, George McManus, and Fay King, Winsor McCay, Hal Coffman, J. W. McGurk, artists and cartoonists; Harry Hershfield, creator of 'Abie, the Agent;" Billy De Beck, creator of "Spark Plug;" Earle Sande, world's leading 'jockey; Johnny' Gal- lagher, referee of the Dempsey-Fir- po fight; Ned Wayburn, and. the en- tite Ziegfeld "Follies" 'chorus.
