Billy Van's Successes Encourage Stage Stars
Billy B. Van is featured in two more publications of the Royal Comedies Series now being distributed by the Reelcraft Pictures Corporation. The fourth feature of this new series is titled "The Plucky Hoodoo" and the fifth "Where Are Your Husbands?"
The reception accorded the first Royal showings featuring Leon Errol and the later ones featuring Van has encouraged the Reelcraft corporation to seek still further among vaudeville headliners for the future stars of this series.
Negotiations have been pending for some weeks with other well-known stars, and the announcement of their picture debut will be made shortly by Reelcraft.
