Charlie Chaplin Makes Derby Pudding; Negri Wrecks ’Em With Vampire Smile

By WALTER D. HICKMAN Derby REDDING is the latest dish. You will “taste" it this week because Charlie Chaplin serves this brand new kitchen creation in “The Pilgrim.” The derby pudding was really an accident, because Edna Purvianee. as the sweet daughM. V for the church CHAPLIN swimming. Charlhacli.m lie blows into a small town, where a delegation of people were waiting to welcome anew minister. They mistake Charlie for the ney pastor. Charlie was entertained at the Widow Brown’s nnme. Os course, she had a pretty daughter who was a good cook. During the call of the townspeople upon the new minister, the infant terrible arrives to increase the troubles of Charlie. This youngster Hirns out to be a juvenile prize fighter and gives Chaplin several terrible wallops. I This child gets into all kinds of j trouble. He steals his dad’s brown ! derby and follows Charlie into the j kitchen, where Edna is making a ' pudding. Charlie is anxious to help. | While the pudding is cooling on a ; table, the child slips the brown derby | over the pudding. Chaplin not noticI ing the trick, pours lemon sauce over 1 the derby and even decorates the sky i piece with a cherry. The comedy panic starts when ChapJin attempts to serve the pudding to members of the congregation. These pudding scenes reflects the wonderful artistry of Charlie Chaplin. Here Is Fine Movie Art and Real Acting Although Chaplin impersonates a minister in this comedy. I found nothing objectionable. The story does not i offend. The sermon scene is played I in a light comedy vein and is not (heap burlesque. Charlie keeps his -ve on the collection box. He takes as bis subject. “David and Goliath.” | Charlie literally covers the platform with immaginary dead. It was some | battle. After his talk. lie takes | “curtain calls” and makes a bow and j even throws kisses to the choir. This picture may not hive the universal appeal that “Shoulder Arms” and “The Kid" possessed, hut we can agree on this one tiling that Chaplin is the serein's most polished comedian. He goes info a comedy field that other players fear to enter. | The result is the situations In "The Pilgrim" are different. Chaplin has brought all of his ■ talent and artistry to hear upon a characterization which In the bands j of a cheap player would be suicide. I enjoyed every minute of the new Chaplin picture. The pudding scenes are masterpieces in high comedy. Modest Altschuler has pone to the classics for the accompanying music. “This movie is so classical that it rc fleets the classics." Altschuler states. “The Pilgrim" is the chief feature at the Circle this week. The hill also includes "Man vs. Beast” and the regular musical program. -I- -I- IHot Ijovo Is Served By I'ola in "Mad Love" The love served by Pola Negri in a foreign made picture called "Mad Love/' is so hot that t fear it wopld break a thermometer. Pola ns a sort of a Continental I Music Hall patron in “Mad Love” I shows how easy it is to make men go crazy. One of her Mm, ■ -♦ . lands there not be F Ur. other man kissl ' '' ing her. That is sure transmitting the love waves, v Pola seems to Coue her gentle v - j men friends into a worse and worse NEGRI condition day by day. This hectic movie has been produced on an elaborate scale. It has been re-edited and Yankee subtitles played up for | laughs and thrills. This mad love story has Eome of j the prettiest natural scenery shots T ever have witnessed on the screen. Negri covers up her dark hair and wears a blonde wig in one of the big scenes. Hundreds of people are used in several of the hig fete scenes and

there is some fine acting. Theda Bara at one time was the screen’s leading vampire, but Negri not only has beauty, but she knows how to act. She doesn’t merely pose, but puts real life blood in all of her characterizations. I will guarantee one thing that no I one will go to sleep while witnessing Pola make human driftwood out of her gentleman friends. From a box office standpoint this picture is a winner. The story is weak and at Times silly, but the love theme has been dressed up in expensive settings, the result being that picture will rnmse one. Don’t take Pola seriously in this one. Nearly forgot to tell you that vampire pays the price. She is murdered by one of her mad victims. “Mad Love” is an amusing nightmare. At the Ohio all week. Just try and get a seat. P-ill includes a comedy and the tegular musical program. -I- -!- The Heroine Suffers and So Does Ibe Hero “Thorns and Orange Blossoms” belongs to the old age of romance. The hero suffers something terrible. Goes to prison for a crime he didn't cio While he is paying the price his sweetheart is suffering with a broken heart. The other woman is not: getting fat over revenge either, but she has an exciting time.

Little Theatre Wins With Children’s Matinee

HAPPY is the person who can make little children laugh. When a npinber of people band together to make children happy then that victory will bring the organization fame. The Little Theatre Society Saturday afternoon presented a play for children, "The Wish Fellow" by Helene Heathcote Guild. A special musical score of rare beauty was composed by Walter Flandorf of the Circle Theater. 1 nave faith In the Little Theatre Society of this city. Sometimes 1 have thought they were on the wrong track, but I know now- after seeing the first children’s matinee of the season at the Masonic Temple, that the society is headed in the right direction. This exqu.site little fairy story for children was written by an Indianapolis woman. Flandorf caught the spirit of the story and reflected it In haunting melodies. Miss Helene Ilib ben of this city arranged the dances. Lewis E. Finch of the art depart met t of Manual Training High School designed the scenery. Never has the Little Theatre presented such artistic sets. Finch and those aiding him have done a wonderful service for the < Little Theatre. Let him be used again.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

In the end, all the thorns are rej moved and blossoms with sweet perfume smother the picture in a sweet ending. The acting of Estelle Taylor as a Spanish opera singer Is the high light of this movie. Kenneth Harlan is the chief masculine support. Cast includes Edith Roberts, Arthur Hu}!, John Cossar and others. The story lis just so so, but the acting is better [ than the story. At the Apollo all week. Bill Includes Buster Keaton in “The Electric House.” It is not Keaton who shines in this movie, but the funny electrical apparatus used. Good for many laughs. Virgil Moore's orchestra this week is giving one of the best programs ever rendered by this organization. , •!• -I- -IConcerning Hoxie and His Latest For the first half of the week the Isis is showing Jack Hoxie in “The Forbidden Trail.” In this picture Hoxie plays the part of Jack Merriwell, the deputy marshaj, who wins all the prizes at a western rodeo, and then starts on the trail of a bandit who had killed his uncle. He finds the bandit and also a girl who falls in love with him. Those who have followed ifnxte in his cowboy pictures, will find him greatly changed in this role and we are not so sure that it isn’t for the

I also noticed that the lights were ex pertly handled this time. Radio and Morris Delight the Children Several adult? well known in local musical circles tendered their services f'r the matinee. Fred Newell Morris appeared as the Pirate He was In excellent voice and made a splendid picture. George Kadle, a splendid singer, appeared as the' Moon Man. This man has a real voice. Both aided in putting over the story. The leading Juvenile roles were played by Ross Woigle and Alice T. Young. About thirty others took part. There were several youthful dancers who appeared t.o advantage, showing splendid training. This young Woigle chap deserves watching, because he has the spark of real acting In him He knows howto be at ease on the stage. The truth Is that the Little Theatre, in presenting “The Wish Fellow." has made theatrical history. The auditorium was jammed with children and some adults. Fame has come to the F.lttle Theatre after getting on a fair start at the beginning of the season. Give us more such wonderful afternoons. (Reviewed by W. It. H.l
