Colleen Proves Value of Adam’s Apple; Hammerstein Appears in Jewel Drama

By WALTER D. HICKMAN A ~| LL apples do not grow on trees. That you learn in “Painted People.” One’s character is often determined by one’s Adam’s apple.

Anyway that is the theory of Colleen Moore in a gay little comedy called “Painted People." Colleen is cast as Ellie Byrne. a little roughneck who longs to be a “lady" although she loves to play baseball with the boys on the town lot. She learns the lesson that a fellow whose Adam’s apple is mighty’ large and looks like a bump on his throat can

be a gentleman. She also bumps up against the fact that sopie fellow's Adam’s apple may turn out to be a prune. So be sure you have an apple and not a prune if you want to win in life’s battle. This movie is a sort of a modern Cinderella story. That is. a little roughneck (ft a girl grad-uates-into a great actress and the boy she loves becomes an author. It is the human comedy work of Miss Moore which makes a visit to the Circle this week a joyful event in the business of attending movies. Colleen Moore is accomplishing real thin; sin the movies these days. Her road has not been an easy one, but by careful work she is becoming one of the leaders on the screen. “Painted People” has a serious side to/it. but it is the natural work of Colleen which puts the laughs into it. She is surrounded by a real cast. Look at these names: Anna Q. Nilsson, Mary Carr. Mary Alden, Ben Lyon, Bull Montana, Russell, Simpson, Charies Murray and others. Am going to let you walk into the Circle this week without knowing too much about the story. Am sure you will have a dandy time. The entire program at the Circle this week reflects credit upon the theater. Bakaleinikoff is directing the orchestra through the delightful "Merry' Widow" score. The Circle hjis a surprise in a unique presentation of a song,” I Love You.” The orchestra first plays it as slides are thrown on the screen. Then a number of girls dressed to represent building blocks form the refrain, “I Love You.” Clever and pretty. The bill Includes a cartoon movie, “Fun From the Press,” and a news -■.-eekly showing some of the basketBrail • UPSET STOMACH, GAS, GAS, GAS Chew a few Pleasant Tablets, Instant Stomach Relief!

These priceless baubles become mixed up inextricably’ with the otherwise thrillless existence of Dorothy Barrows, on view’ at the Apollo. Dorothy, w’aitlng more or less patiently ii her car for the ferry boat to land, becomes aware that a man has dropped unceremoniously' into her oar.

aghty as a rich man’s daughter: Margaret Seddon as Mother McGinn (she is splendid), and others. This is a crook drama. That you expect when you learn that this movie is a “Boston Blackie” story. These are all "nice" crooks because they have a code of morals. All are loyal to each other, with the exception of one guy w'ho tips the “bulls” (meaning the cops) to a proposed job that Blackie is about to pull off. Interest centers around Colleen Moore as the daughter of "Mother McGinn,” so named because she is a "mother” to crooks. Her idea is to aid the boys in going straight. Mother has a daughter who does not know that her father was a criminal and a jail-bird. While at a fashionable girls’ school Mary McGGinn accidentally comes across a criminal who is trying to escape from prison. She aids him, but suffers when she is expelled from the school as the "daughter of a crook.” On returning to her mother’s home she becomes the "pals” of the crooks. Os course, she meets Blackie, the man she aided to escape. They learn to love each other. Mary wants him to go straight by returning to prison. He refuses and plans one more job so he and Mary can start life over together in another city. Mary “frames” the last job in the right way, but a “stool pigeon” frames it in the wrong way. Here is a corking good crook drama,

chock full of real thrills. There is a lot of action in this story. Am sure you will enjoy this Colleen Moore movie.

WEEKLY Business and Industrial NEWS

OUTLOOK ABROAD MOST FAVORABLE IN MM YEARS Haney Sees Marked Progress Toward Settlement of Reparations Tangle, By LEWIS H. HENEY (Director of the Bureau of Business Research, New York University.) NEW YORK, March 3.—“ General” Dawes, one of the American representatives on the commission of experts to examine German reparation matters, says: “If the French were not in the Ruhr we experts would not be here.” That statement is a text on which much can be said. France Wins War It reminds us that France has at last won the war. Defeated on the field of battle, Germany tried to escape paying the price. It suggests what may be the biggest “bull point” that is likely to materialize this spring, namely the final

INTERSTATE WILL ADD TWO PARLOR AND DINING CARS Interurban Company Finds Public Receptive of De Luxe Service. So successful has been the dining car and parlor cat service on the Interstate Public Service Company’s line between Indianapolis and Louisville. Ky., that the company soon will put In operation two additional parlor and dining cars. The service was instituted on Nov. "5. 1923, and since then there has been a constant increase in business. The company now operates four dining car and parlor car trains, the cars leaving Indianapolis at 11 a. m. and 5 p. m. with the same service starting from Louisville at 11:45 a. m. and 5:46 p. m. daily. The two additional trains that will be put In service In April will carry breakfast patrons, one leaving Indianapolis for Louisville at 7 a. m. and the other leaving the southern end of the line at 7:45. Officials of the Interstate have found that since this deluxe service was instituted their trains attract a class of patronage between the cities that It was impossible to obtain before. They have discovered also that the high-class service they have been furnishing for parlor car travelers has resulted (n added business In all the transportation lines in which the company Is interested. About July 1 the Interstate is planning to have in service three new sleeping cars now being built in the

settlement of the reparations dispute and the beginning of actual recovery in Europe. It may safely be stated that the outlook for peace and industrial improvement over there has not been so bright at any time since the war. There will be some bad effect on certain American industries as a result of such developments and growing competition from abroad, but it will on the whole be constructive and in the long run benftt all. The net result will be stabilization. Our depressed industries tfould benefit, while some of the stronger ones might be injured. Some may ask,- what about the decline in the franc? I have heard several German-Americans sneeringly refer to the “French mark” and predict a bankrupt France. But Mr. Poincare has won here just as he has in the Ruhr. Some men now living can still remember a certain “Black Friday” in ous financial history when the dollar fell as low as 61% cents* in terms of gold. That was in September, 1863. It was due to rank speculative bear drives by such pirates as Jay Gould and Tim Fisk. I suspect that It will be found that recent sharp breaks in French money will show similar drives perhaps by those who are hostile to France. French Honor Upheld It must be said of the French that they do not intend to defraud creditors by going into bankruptcy, as in my opinion Germany sought to do. In January our imports picked up materially, and rose about 7 per cent i more than usual in that month. Al-
