The Broadway Boob is a 1926 American silent comedy film directed by Joseph Henabery and starring Glenn Hunter, Mildred Ryan, and Antrim Short.

[1] As described in a film magazine review,[2] Dan Williams, a burlesque dancer from a small town, lands a minor part in a Broadway musical comedy.

The press agent for the play puts out some ballyhoo publicity asserting that Dan is drawing down $3000 a week.

His mother back home, based on the story, assures the banker father that Dan will come to the rescue when a run on the town bank is threatened.

Dan hears of his father's financial embarrassment and, with the aid of the press agent, comes up with a scheme to stop the run on the bank.
