The Novello brothers, musical clowns, and the Rotunna brothers, said to be two of the fastest dancers on the stage, and Alice Weaver, combine their talents with Eddie Pardo.

On Stage Eugene O'Brien, screen and stage star, is now headling in vaudeville in a sketch by Tom Barry. Its title is “Restitution,” and one of its remarkable features is the fact tftat the cast is composed entirely of men.

| ican who works in a gambling den I and the character of Don Jose ! Maria y Sandoval, who modestly claims to be “the best damn Caballero” in all Costa Roja. Directed by Roland West, who has previously made some pictures with Norma *1 them, the film is said to retain all of the color David Belasco put into the stage version and the director believes the story even more suited for the films than as a stage vehicle. The picture was made at the United Artists studio in Hollywood, being six months in production. OllVer Marsh photographed the picture and has won many compliments for his excellent work in both this picture, and “Camille” which he also photographed. Mort Harris, known to Indianapolis theatergoers by now, produced the stage show, entitled “Northern Lights.” which has scenery designed by Arthur Knorr. Both the above mentioned men were formerly at the Capitol theater. New York, where the stage show also played recently. Emile Boreo, former star of “Chauve Sourris,” famous Russian show that Morris Gest brought to America, is a prominent entertainer in the cast of “Northern Lights.” Mr. Boreo is the originator of "The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers,” which he will do in his own manner and will also introduce some new foreign novelties and songs that have “caught on" with audiences all over the Loew circuit where he has played. The Singing Eagles, an ensemble of sixteen men who have been picked for their voices, will offer a relection of numbers that will show off their voices. This group of men also come from musical Lows, they last being in “The WY.te Eagle.” Sylvia Miller will be heard in songs of popular appeal. Teddy Joyce, master of ceremonies and .stage band leader, promises some new songs and dances. The Chester Hale Hoosier Rockets also will present some new dances. Lester Huff at the organ and Emil Seidel directing the Palace concert orchestra, the MGM News on the world’s largest screen and a novelty film complete the show. tt tt tt MYSTERY PROGRAM TO BE AT INDIANA The Indiana theater asks it patrons to take a chance this week when it presents for the first time in its history “Take-a-Chance Week,” j show.

At the Circle

>' vn ■

?larjorie Alton Marjorie Alton formerly dancing star with the Greenwich Village Follies and premiere ballerina with Mordkin, has been engeged by the Circle as instructor for the permanent house dancing ensemble to write special lyrics foi the weekly production and as production advisor. Majori? Alton has recently been engaged in a smilar capacity at the Missuri theaters and comes to Indianapolis after three successful years. For the past two months she has been busily engaged training a chorus of sixteen girls fer the opening today when the Circle features for the first time a permanent house dancing ensemble. will be a surprise and every single feature will boa mystery. Even attaches of the theater do not know the name of the featured picture which has four of the screen's leading stars in the leading roles. The Indiana theater makes an unusual request of its patrons this week by asking them not to divulge the nature of the show to any of their friends. Thus, the program will be a mystery to those who see it today or late in the week.

Charlie Davis and his band are the stars of the stage show, “Take-a-Chance With Charlie Davis,” in which a nur/ er of the performers of the Publix circuit are featured. However no clews will be given as to their identity or as to the nature of their acts. Sixteen “mysteries” offer one of the opening features of the stage show. Ih rapid succession will be a dazzling array of entertainers. Secret melodies are being concocted by Charlie Davis for his contribution to the program. The “Take-a-Chance Week” feature tells about an American wife who didn’t have enough love for her husband who goes for a spree in France and turns Paris on its head. Then she learns that one admiring hubby is better than ten desiring sweeties. It's champagne cocktail of the gay boulevards and cases of Montmartre. One of the most entertaining features will be the “Take-a-Chance” news weekly, compiled by the Indiana theaicr. It will be one of the biggest surprises on the program. Other surprises galore will be included. tt tt tt DOUBLE BILL TO BE AT OHIO The second week of the Ohio Theaters big double feature program offers Clara Bow in her picture "The Plastic Age,” together with the thrilling picture of the United States Marines “The Great Mail Robbery.” Connie and his band, together with Jimmie Hatton, soloist, have another program of musical novelties. “The Plastic Age,” a story of modern youth which discards convention, is the picture which brought fame to Clara Bow, and which set the pace for all the pictures which followed it. It is a picture that is said to overflow with truth, good and bad, about the modern boy and girl. Donald Keith, Mary Alden, Henry B. Walthall, Gilbert Roland and David Butler are in the cast. “The Great Mail Robbery” is a melodrama of the roaring rails and Uncle Sam's Marines in peace time duty. It is a story of love and machine guns, filled with action and portrayed by a big all-star cast. CLARA BOW AT APOLLO FOR THREE DAYS Clara Bow, flaming haired flapper of the screen, appears at the Apollo today, Sunday and Monday as the star of “The Keeper of the Bees," a romantic drama adapted from the story of the same name by Gene

There arc many agencies that could be responsible such as One. B. Talbot, the I iUlc Theatre Society. the Shrine and others. We must be prepared to support the Guild if brought here. There must be no financial disaster for those who sign the contract. If you want this unit of the New York Theatre Guild here next season for a week, write me and tell me about it at once. Have received the following stefement from the Guild representatives in New York: “The success of the first season of the Theatre Guild's touring lepertory Company, which closed in Montreal Saturday night after e. successful season, is responsible for the Guild's decision to have a similar organization on tour next season. * “The tour of this company next year will be cn a larger scale than that which has just been completed.
