Tom Mix Becomes a Male Pollyanna; Beban Turns Out Another Sob Drama

By WALTER D. HICKMAN FOLLYANNA’S have M been frequent visitors cr. the stage and screen. Today we have a male Pol Ivanna p Tom Mix, our big hatted cowboy .fiend. Tom becomes quite sentimental, and all for “dear mother” would make one 3 SUSl)ect lhat ** star, but I susTOM MIX pect that Mix did a lot of “mixing” in the plot before the picture was completed. Mix, while roughing it in the West as a cowboy, receives word that he has inherited a fortune if he will manage an old ladies’ home way up in Vermont. Tom and his friend, Buck, go to the home. This Buck person, who suffers with his “dogs,” meaning, in the language of the street, “his feet,” furnishes most of the comedy of a hokum nature. Mix discovers that a sort of an “Over the Hill" mother is cleaning the floors and dreaming of the day when her wild son will come to her. Mix and Buck takes it upon themselves to treat the erring son so ] rough that he goes to the home and I falls into his mother’s arms. The j son realizes what a “dog" he has j been and repents at once. Much re- i joicing. Then both Mix and Buck elope with the idol of their dreams. Result —love in a cottage ending. “Ladies to Board” is the regulation Mix brand of a photoplay. He sticks closely to his regulation brand. This story is terribly overdone in theme at times, but one expects such things in a Mix movie. The bill includes Our Gang in “The Buccaneers,” a news reel and Virgil Moore’s Orchestra. At the Apollo all week. -I- -I- -!- BEBAN AGAIN PINS FAITH ON SOB DRAMA George Beban must believe in the sob drama. He seems to be so sure of his grounds that he goes for the sob drama on the screen and in person. Beban some years ago hit on the idea of allowing a movie to go to a certain big scene, then lift the screen and per- 1 - .. mit himself to carry the action on in person. If* • ; ’jl has enlarged |! i* his idea by do- || • V| ing an entire ■ ~ | scene with othPi ers of the movie cast present in i v M person. At the \ Circle this week a Bebat permits vvlt m' tbe m ° ' “The s V f * / Greatest Love Hi j 0 f All.” to work _ I%*- >Jj &:■' up to the courtroom scene. Then Beban and GEORGE BEBAN members of the movie cast act this scene as a spoken drama. When this is completed the screen is low-

Paul Whiteman Shows How to Play a Modern Rhapsody

3y WALTER D. HICKMAN Paul Whiteman gave us much to think about yesterday at the Murat w'ten his modern American orchestra was presented in two concerts i>v Ona B. Talbot. Whiteman does not attempt to burlesque modern music. He attempts bv musical contrasts to tnDIZZY SPILLS AND HEADACHES QUICKLY RELIEVED Mona Woodruff. Indianapolis Housewife, Rids Self of Dizzy Spells and Severe Headaches By Using Todd’s Tonic. V\ hich Has the Strength Building Qualities of Rare Old Wine. “I was often so nervous that I could not sleep at night and when I did get to sleep it was not rest and I was always disturbed by dreams, had terrible pains in my stomach, peculiar dizzy spells and severe headaches. My limbs ached terribly, and I was restless and felt all run down. A demonstrator at Haag’s Drug Store induced me to try Todd's Tonic. I did, and 1 now sleep well at night and am not disturbed by dreams and consequently when I awake feel fully refreshed. The pains in my stomach, the dizzy spells and the severe headaches left me entirely. I now feel strong and do not tire so easily. Todd’s Tonic is the greatest medicine I have ever used.” —MONA WOODRUFF, 239 S. State Ave., Indianapolis, Ind. Todd s Totiic_ with its wine-like flavor, is most" pleasant to take.

ered and the action resumed as a movie. “The greatest Love of All” does not have the ring of sincerity to it that “The Sign of the Rose” had. The “Love” movie is so plainly theatrical, it doesn’t ring true to me for one second. Everything appears to give Beban his chance to “eat up” on the sob stuff. The trouble as I see it is that this movie and the scene done in person by Beban and his cast are too sentimental. In my reporting days I know that no court would permit such actions as Beban acts on the stage in the courtroom scene. , Such movies gives me the impression that there is no justice of any kind in the court when every one in the audience knows that the defendant in the cast is innocent. Everybody is wise to the fact, but the movie jury and the movie judge. This movie* is too sentimental to consider it of any lasting importance in the history of the movie theater. Have your own opinin. You have mine. The cast is as follows: Diet. Atty. Kelland . ..3. W. Johnston Mrs. Kolland Lyon Their Daughter Baby Evelyn Marei Simpkins, the maid Nettle Belie Darby The Cobbler . O. Zargrilli His Daughter Trina Nina Oliver Joe. the Iceman George Beban His 'Sweetheart'’ . .

Sgpga It was first s!lown here at a t h e I oler during its l regular season. Th e late F. ar i ° n Fro wpijF atr/fy ’ ■ ford wrote “The r JSj W / B “White Sister" rmr Im-- I and the producer I thought best in L 4 ; 1 making it a 2 - 1 movie to have it YJ acted in Italy.

It gives Miss Gish a chance to be sweetly emotional. That I previously discussed when the picture was first shown in the city. It is a big picture and it cost a bunch of money to produce. Crawford when he wrote this story was in a serious mood and the movie director has not attempted to destroy any of the seriousness of the author. Besides Miss Gish the cast includes Ronald Coleman, Gail Kane. .T. Barney Sherry. Juliette La Violette. S. G. Serena. Alfredo Bertone and numerous others. The volcano scene is splendidly ban !’d.

crease appreciation for better popular music. His musicians do not throw instruments up in the air and neither do they go insane with acrobatics while playing. They seek to present music with a modern dignified touch. Whiteman conducts his orchestra with as much dignity and legitimate attention during his program proper that cne would expect from the conductor of a great symphony orchestra. • That is exactly what Whiteman is attempting to and elevate modern music by making a symphony out of it. I was most interested when George Gershwin at the piano played his “Rhapsody in Blue” with the orchestra. As I understand it. this is the first rhapsody ever written for piano and the modern Amer ican orchestra. This rhapsody might be called a modern symphony and contains both its weak points and at the same time it shows the real possibilities of modern composition and treatment. I believe that this composition opens the door for the real modern American symphony. In the third programmed group Whiteman showed us how the modern touch may be applied to Handel’s “Messiah." Ross Gorman and Michael Pingatore will be remembered as fine examples of Soloists with the modern orchestra.

A *°rious Thought I noticed tnat the real ovation at the afternoon concert did not come while Whiteman was playing his programmed numbers. When the program was completed, Whiteman announced that if people like the music “such as it was,” he would play some of his record music. This resulted in a demonstration from the audience and calls for “Clover Blossom Blues” and “Three o’clock in the Morning’’ were made. Whiteman obliged, and It was then that he struck the expected big responsive mood of the audience. It was when he spoke to us in terms of phonograph records that he made his greatest popular appeal. That is interesting, because it shows the marvelous influence that the phonograph is having upon American music. There is a rare artistry about Whiteman and his orchestra which makes this organization different from all the others. The Murat was nearly filled yesterday afternoon and 1 understand it was capacity last

When the Drs. Bibler came to this city, after graduating from the Palmer School of Chiropratic. the work of the chiropractor was scarcely known here. Much of the work of both these chiropractors has been of an educational nature since they have teen practicing in Indianapolis. They have endeavored to build for themselves a reputation for the careful handling of every case. In every case where unusual conditions are present both the doctors make examinations. These two examinations are made separately, neither knowing of thte findings of the other i xamlnations have been completed and the records compared and carelullv checked against each other.
