WAYBURN INTRODUCES HIS RE VUE TO FILM FANS Jglp . ■ Flappers and Cake Eaters Romp at Apollo Next Week in 'Wine of Youth,’ Next week the Circle will enlarge its program to include l Ned Way burn’s dance rerue, “Dance Mad Bevue,” in addition [ to a feature movie., “If I Marry Again.” ) A movie version of “Mary The Third,” under the title of “Wine of Youth,” will be the featured offering at the Apollo all next week. The Ohio will present Thomas Meighan and Lila Lee in “Coming Through.”

Mister Smith’s will offer “Gold Heels” for the week, while the Isis for the first half will present “Youth and Adventure." -I- -I -ISPECIAL PROGRAM NEXT WEEK AT CIRCLE The Circle announces one of the biggest attractions in its history for next week, beginning Sunday, when “If I Marry’ Again,” a dramatic story by Gilbert Frankau, in which Doris Kenyon is featured, will divide honors with New Waybum's "Dance Mad Revue,” described as “a sym-phonic-jazz ensemble in six scenes.” "If I Marry Again” concerns Charlie Jordan and his young wife, Margot, whom Jordan’s father refuses •to accept because the son had marIried against his wishes. ’ The father practically banishes the young couple to his plantation in tropical Bar Lae ca, where, after four happy years, Charlie develops a serious illness. In despair Jocelyn writes his father, who suspects her of mercenary motlvei and sends his manager down to bring the boy home. How Charlie dies as a result of his father’s neglect and cruelty, and the young widow swears to avenge herself on the father, only to find real happiness and peace, is told in this story. Lloyd Hughes is seen as Charlie Jordan; Hobart Bosworth is the father; Frank Mayo is the manager; Anna Q. Nilsson his wife, and Myrtle Stedman Margot’s mother, who is the real reason for Jordan’s objection to his son marrying Jocelyn. -I- -I- -INed Wayburn, who has produced fifteen editions of the Follies, has staged a ( stage spectacle, “The Dance Mad Revue,” featuring Marion Chambers, who was the principal dancer of late musical comedy success, “Poppy”; Evelyn Hoey, dancer and “blues” singer; Duth Day, prima donno; Edwin Michaels, dancer, and William Fables, well-known animal impersonator, and a cast of fifteen will be seen. A Lyman H. Howe Hodge-Podge cartoon and the Animated Circle News complete the program. ; • ALL KINDS OF FLAPPERS SEEN IN THIS MOVIE Eight popular young leading men and two of screendom’s most alluding heroines grace the cast of “Wine of Youth,” a King Vidor production, which will be presented at the Apollo next week, and which was adapted from Rachel Crotber’s stage play, “Mary the Third,” a lively and romantic depiction of the younger generation, of the flappers and their “cake-eaters.” An episode laid in 1870 and another in 1897 . preceded the story proper. Through this arrangement three generations of love-making can be compared. As to the modern Btory it goes to show that while the girls of the present generation do not view marriage in the same light as the girls of former periods, neverthless when put to a real test it is proven that the ideas held by the mothers and grandmothers are still effective with the daughters of today.-

The story of modern youth has been treated by Vidor with a light and humorous ‘touch. He declares he has attempted to show the flapper and her "sheik” as they really aremaintaining that they are neither jaded, sophisticated as some Writers would have them, nor are they real when shown as childish morons who try to pose as sophisticated. The leading men are Ben Lyon, William Collier Jr., William Haines, Bobby Agnew, Johnny Walker, Creighton Hale, Niles Welch and James Morrison. The two girls around whom the plot centers are portrayed by Eleanor Boardman and Pauline Qaron. Eulalie Jensen, E. J. Ratcliffe, Virginia Lee Corbin, Gertrude Claire, Lucille Hutton and others are in the supporting company. An Arthur Stone comedy, "Change the Needle," the Fox news weekly, Earl Gordon, organist and musical divertisement by /Emil Seidel and his orchestra will be other program features. -I- -I* -I“GOLD HEELS” OPENS SUNDAY AT SMITH’S “Gold Heels,” a William Fox production, which is being shown for the first time in Indianapolis, will be the feature picture the coming week at Omith’s. It is a story of the race track, based on the story “Checkers.” by Henry M. Blossom Jr. John Stone prepared the scenario of the picture, while A. W. S. Van Dyke directed the picture. Featured players in “Gold Heels" are Robert Agnew, Peggy Shaw, Lucien Littlefield, William Norton Bailey, Carl Btockdale, Fred Butler, Harry Tracey, James Douglas, Winifred Landis, Katherine Craig, Buck Black and Betty Hisle. The story has to do with “Checkers" Campbell, who is discharged by his employer for refusing to hold his horse and prevent him from winning A race. “The Big Town” is the our gang comedy which, with a news weekly and music by the Grand Cremona, are other attractions for the coming MEIGHAN’S LATEST ROOKED AT OHIO "Coming Through,” featuring Thomas Meighan_ is the featured photoplay production the coming' week at the Ohio Theater. The picture is based on the story, “Bed Rock,” by James Bethea, and was directed by Edward Sutherland, who, until recently, was connected with Charles Chaplin, and was assistant to Chaplin in the production of his picture, “A Woman of Parts." “Laugh That Off" is the Spat Family comedy, which, with a news Weekly, completes the billing of minor film attractions. Music will

be provided by Lester Huff at the organ, who is heard in his organ solo, “Will You Remember?” with Bert Lindsey soloist. The Charlie Da Orchestra, with Cy Milders, soloist, will present a program of popular musical numbers. Supporting Meighan in “Coming Through” are Lila Lee, John Miltern, Wallace Beery, Laurence Wheat, Frank Campeau, Gus Weinberg and Alice Knowland. Meighan takes the part of an old employe of a big steel corporation, who sees other men gain promotion through family connections and pull, while he is sidetracked in an office job. “Coming Through” tells of Tom Blackford, chief clerk of a steel corporation, who has been promised the promotion to the job of superintendent of mines, only to.be cheated out of it through favoritism. After meeting Alice Rand, daughter of the president of the corporation, he marries her after a whirlwind courtship. Rand accuses Blackford of tricking the girl into marrying him. and Blackford is tripped into admitting the charge. + -I* -I* ' MELODRAMA TOPS NEW ISIS BILL The Isis will have "Youth and Adventure,” a melodrama featuring Richard Talmadge, the king of stunt stars, as its attraction the first half of next week. Talmadge is given plenty of opportunity to furnish thrills in his role of Reggie Dillingham, heir to a million, the greater part of which he squanders reck lessly before he is checked by impending poverty. In Talmadge’s support are Margaret Landis and Joseph J. Girard. A Bray Pictograph and the Pathe Review will also be shown. Edmund Lowe in "The Brass Bowl,” and a Merry Maid comedy, “Motor Mad,” will make up the program Thursday and the rest of the week. Speaking at Temple Prof. Samuel S. Cohen of Cincinnati, Ohio, will talk at 3 p. m. Sunday at the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation Temple, Tenth and N. Delaware Sts., on “The Club: Its Place and Function in the Jewish Community."

WHAFS IN A NAME ON BROADWAY? HERE ISANSWER Play Jury Makes Big Discovery on Stage in New York. BY THE NEA PLAY JURY IT T] EW YORK, Feb. 14.—Time was when a name or combination of names in a Broadway theater spelled success for a show. Iconoclasts stood at a respectful distance an donly whispered exceptions to the general acclaim noted persons. Now all this has changed. First there was Ethel Barrymore in Sir Arthur Wing Pinero’s “Mrs. Tanqueray.” Those who believe in Ethel —and they are legion here went to see her, but they laughed Sir Arthur off the boards. And some remarked that Ethel’s judgment In selecting such a vehicle was faulty. Then Frederick Lonsdale, who was acclaimed for many months for his “Aren’t We All,” sent over “The Fake.” There was no magic in his name, however, and the play flopped. And now we come to Ferenc Molnar. His “The Guardsman” is greeted as one of the best shows of this and several seasons, but his latest, “Carnival," is being showered with bricks and may be completely interred before these lines reach print. That, despite Elsie Ferguson in the star role. 4 What’s In a name? Little, or nothing, on Broadway!
