Baby Peggy and Rag Doll Clintl Nearer to Fame; Evans and His Musical Bunch Jazz Up the Ozone

By WALTER D. HICKMAN ‘ I BABY and a rag doll make a I pretty good combination. L J Every movie director knows that this formula generally gets the results, but the right child is the problem. The screen is IP MR.'.-VAl** ' always in search its juvenile stars because ail chilfdren w f.l gr<*w up. dS FrPCkl " s a r ‘ y grow up and put R|H . , a,.,. V on pants. And gp-ip!? Jackie ( ’oogan <3 not getting any TIP*" y°’ an £er, but he years ahead of him. Baby Peggy has hern frolicking around in one.an ! <Lk- ' two-reel comedies. .nJSMK. Jkß& with black bobbed hair and the funBABY PEGGY by little busy eyes. She has graduated now and is appearing in a full-length picture. Os course, this little star doesn't all the burden of the picture, because she has the services of Sheldon Lewis, Gladys Brockwell, Max Davidson, Frank Currier, Pat Hartigan and numerous others. The story is melodramatic in theme not true to life, but one of those pleasant make-believe little things that people seem never to become impatient with. In 'The Darling of New York,” her latest picture. Baby Peggy and her rag doll are up to all of the old tricks, but somehow or other this little tot puts a natural and human touch to all of her scenes. When she cries you feel sad and .vhen she laughs you are happy. Rather think that is a pretty good test for success. Rather think the children will enjoy seeing this new Baby Peggy picture at the Apollo all week. It will interest the grownups as well as the story is melodramatic in theme. Gladys Brockwell does very well m a role of a woman of the crook world. The Are scene is well handled. The hill includes a Mack Senr.ett vomedy, "The Lion and the Souse,” a news weekly and the regular music. At the Apollo all week. -I- -I- -I* THE CIRCLE INTRODUCES US ANOTHER JAZZ ORCHESTRA The Circle Theater has undertaken the task of introducing Indianapolis to jazz orchestras new to this city. This week we are being introduced to Alfred Evans ana nis Uni versity orchestra. Uni admit that the first meeting was satisfactory enough. These men play the snappy T' / "> Tof them at times k; indicate the “heat” of the niu- ■ .Jm sic by swaying their shoulders. This is done, for comedy effect, and ' J vrai H the audience when This is Venice” is ADOLPHE novelty number MENJOU during which the drummer suddenly becomes ‘T’ercy’’ English in tone and action. It is a clever novelty number, well done by Evans and his men. “Limehouse Blues” as played by this orchestra puts the audiahep into a swaying mood. This number speaks the jazz language of the day. “Linger Awhile” gives the pianist a chance to sing. This number probably is the hit number of the first program of this orchestra. Rather think you will eijjoy this musical presentation idea -of Ace Berry at the Circle this summer. Each week a musical organization is to be presented. This week a nifty stage set of draperies is used. The featured photoplay, "The Marriage Cheat,” is just another photoplay. The scenes are placed in one of those strange South Sea Islands where the women wear few clothes and where the men wear less. From a scenic standpoint, it will remind you of “The Bird of although the themes are entirely different. There is lot of melodramatic suffering on the part of the poor wife who is abused by her husband. After suffering through several reels she is washed ashore on a strange island. There she finds a white man, the only one on the island, who is a missionary. The missionary nearly forgets his teachings, but catches

himself just in time. When the woman’s husband lands on the island, he finally admits what a “dog” he has been and slips from a rock Into the ocean. Thus leaving the woman and the missionary free to marry. Much better ending than if the missionary had murdered the husband. Rather silly story. Well acted by Adolphe Merijou, Leatrice Joy and Percy Marmount. Bill Includes a Christie comedy, music and a news reel. At the Circle all week. -I- -I’ -IWAP MOVIE AGAIN BIDS FOR^FAVOR The Ohio this week is featuring “Powder River,” actual pictures of the World War, taken by the United States Signal Corps. I went into detail concerning this picture when it was revealed at English’s during the past winter. Here is war pictured in all of his phases. There is tragedy and a t\ee bit of comedy of life behind the lines. The value of this picture is that it is authentic. Asa document and as an argument against war it probably has no equal. The lighter feature of the Ohio’s bill this week is a Spat Family comedy, “Suffering Shakespeare.” Music is furnished by Lester Huff playing martial melodies on the organ and That Davenport might bring enough for the down payment on a new overstuffed living room suite if advertised by Times Want Ads. They are easy to use. Call MAin 3500.

can and can not accomplish with an old stage melodramatic success as a story is revealed in “Nellie the Beautiful Cloak Model.” “Nellie” is on view at Mister j Smith’s this week. I have told you I about this attempt to modernize old melodrama. Claire Windsor and ‘ Edmund Lowe are in the cast. I- -I- -IHOOT GIBSON’S LATEST ON VIEW AT THE I-SIS Hoot Gibson in “Broadway or Bust,” is the chief offering at the Isis for the first half of the week. Hoot is assisted by Ruth Dwyer, King Zany, Gertrude Astor, Stanhope Wheatcroft and Fred Malatesta. This picture is released by Universal and Edward Sedgwick directed. The story concerns a western cowboy who gets hold of a bunch of money and goes to New York to i spend the jack. It is what may be called a farce comedy. STILL ANOTHER CHANCE TO SEE “THREE WEEKS” For the third time in about the last two months we have a chance to see Elinor Olyn’s movie version of her silly story, “Three Weeks.” The movie, as I have said before, is as hopeless and silly as the story. I do not like this love bunk underl the Glyn label. Regardless of what | I think of the merits of this picture, ! I am informed that' theater manag- j i ers always smile when they count up the gross after showing this film. On view at the Lincoln Square all week. •!• -I- -!- Other attractions on view today include: ‘’Broadway Jones.” at English's: “Abie's Irish Rose,” at the Capitol; “A Voice in the Dark,” at the Murat; Raymond Fagan and his orchestra, at the Lyric, and Kranz and White in “Nonsense,” at the Palace.

FINLAND SHOWS SPORE INTEREST Reduction In Hours of Work Given as Cause, Si/ Times Special WASHINGTON. June 23.—The growth of interest in sport in Finland, which was noted in the last Olympic games, and is already attracting world-wide attention in connection with the games to be held in Paris this summer, has been largely developed since the war. By their own statements, according to an article in the Internatioal Labor Review, the workers affirm that this increased interest in sport is not unconnected with the reduction of hours of work. Many societies have developed for the physical development of the workers, one of which, the Workers' Athletic Association, includes 397 local units, with 25,360 adult members. It has an even greater number of members in the women's section, where 45,000 are enrolled. In preparation for the discussion of the utilization of workers’ leisure at the forthcoming international labor conference, the international labor office has been surveying the present practices in various countries, including Finland, and will publish a book on the subject previous to the conference. In addition to sports, the workers in Finland devote much of their leisure time to trade union and cooperative activities, educational advancement, the bettering of housing and home conditions, and home industries. according to the report on the utilization of leisure in Finland, which appears in the April number of the International Labor Review.
