‘TEA FOR THREE’ WITH LEW CODY DUE AT THE APOLLO

Spirited Comedy, ‘No Place to Go,’ Opens at Ohio Today —Clara Bow Has Chief Role in 'Get. Your Man’ at the Circle Theater Today, • t <<rpEA for Three,” to be presented at the Apollo next week,, -■ JL was adapted from Roi Cooper Megrue’s stage play which, when originally produced, was considered a success. The film version has Lew Cody and Aileen Pringle as costars supported by a cast that includes Owen Moore, Phillips Smalley, Dorothy Sebastian and Edward Thomas. All the smart appeal of the play, which enjoyed a long run

on Broadway and was later taken all over the civilized world by road companies, is retained in the cinema presentation. and to its triangle theme of jealous husband, fascinating wife and handsome friend many new diverting touches have been added. When the busy husband cancels a luncheon engagement with his wife, she meets a friend who steals her portrait and refuses to relinquish it unless she dines some evening at his apartment. How the husband discovers their tete-a-tete, and the wife regains the picture and the friend learns a thing or two about a lovely woman furnishes exquisite mirth and amusement. A suicide pact, a yacht party and other unexpected complications keep interest sustained at a high pitch. The program will contain a Charlie Chase comedy, called “Assistant Wives,” the Fox news weekly, musical specialties by Emil, Seidel and his Apollo merrymakers, new songs by Charlie Barnes, "The Boy From Kentucky,” and organ innovations by Ray Wlnings. * * n NEW SHOW AT INDIANA TODAY Another production by John Murray Anderson, “Listen In,” and a melodramatic photoplay of the underworld, “The Girl from Chicago,” make up the new bill at the Indiana today. “Listen In” is a novel stage show with the stage set to resemble a huge radio receiving set. Charlie DaviS and the Indiana stage band take part. “Irmanette,” the gay young singing and dancing violinist, is one of the headliners, and so are Berger Herman and Harry Seaman, famous knockabout comedians who starred in “Allex Oop.” Others are the Ada Kaufman girls, selected for their beauty and disciplined choreography.- Jerome Mann, a musical comedy “child wonder” who sings A1 Jolson’s songs as well as A1 does, Dolores and Eddy and Carlos and Inez make up the cast of principals. Conrad Nagel and Myra Loy are co-stars in “The Girl from Chicago.” Ray Enright directed this underworld masterpiece, which was taken from "Business Is Best," the Arthur Somers Roche detective story. Graham Baker did the scenario and the subject is the spectacular career of a Southern girl who comes to the great city to free her brother from the clutch of an

screen adaptation of a French farce comedy by Louis Verneuil. The locale of the story is in France, where the star is seen as a young American tourist endeavoring to see Paris alone, because of the illness of her aunt and chaperon. She meets an attractive young Frenchman in a wax-works museum, and is forced to remain all night in the museum with him when a careless custodian locks the place for the night without first making a careful inspection, and and who believes the place to be empty. Here, in the midst of mechanical figures which execute famous historical events such as coronations, murders, lynchings and imprisonments, the two fall in love, but not until they have encountered numerous thrilling experiences with the grotesque models. The complications are increased when it is learned that the boy has been engaged for seventeen years to a girl he doe's not love, as a result of a pact made between the girl’s father and his own when the boy and girl were small children. The remainder of the picture is a series of comedy situations in which the stary, as Nancy Worthington, tries to break down the French betrothal tradition and succeeds most admirably. Charles Rogers, a Junior Paramount star, plays the leading role opposite Miss Bow, and others appearing in the supporting cast are Josephine Dunn, Harvey Clarke, Josef Swickard and Frances Raymond. The production was directed by Dorothy Arzner. Other features of the program at the Circle are: The Circle News; the appearance on the stage of Grace Doro, prominent pianologist; “Paris Creations,” a Technicolor novelty, in which Miss Hope Hampton,, stage and screen star, displays the latest fashions in women's apparel, and another of “The Collegians” series, featuring * Dorothy Gulliver and George Lewis.

The 1928 tour of the New York Symphony Orchestra, which will come to the Murat Monday evening, Jan. 30, for the second concert of the Indianapolis Symphony Society, Ona B. Talber, managing director, will be in the nature of a golden jubilee affair. This year represents the fiftieth anniversary of its founding, and the entire musical season will be marked by celebrations of the event. The golden jubilee tour will be undertaken during the last week in January and first week in February. It will start in Northampton and proceed through Schenectady, Utica, Rochester. Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Ft. Wayne, Ann Arbor, Buffalo. Baltimore, Wilmington and Philadelphia. Walter Damrosch will be the conductor. It was just half a century ago that Dr. Leopold Damrosch organized a group of seventy musicians and gave his premiere concert in Old Steinway Hall, New York. The hall In which this first performance took place has long since been tom down to make fvay for business buildings. But the orchestra, with its ranks increased to a hundred, is starting on its second half century as one of the leading symphonic organizations in the world. During that first season of 1878, only six concerts and six public rehearsals were given. Nowadays the number of concerts given each season in New York and on tour exceeds one hundred. Under the direction of Walter Damrosch, who came to the post of conductor on the death of his father in 1885, the orchestra has traveled more than 400,000 miles, playing to about eight million people. The New York Symphony was the first major orchestra to go on coun-try-wide tours, bringing the best music to many towns that had never before heard a symphony concert. On these tours it penetrated the South, the Middle West and even the Far West of California and Oregon. It was due to these early tours that a number of the now great orchestras in other sections of the country were founded. •Mrs. Paul Brown of the piano department of the Indiana College of Music and Fine Arts will be chairman of arrangements so the Students Christmas party, which will be given on Wednesday, Dec.# 21, at 3 p. m.
