‘TENDERLOIN,’ TALKING MOVIE, OPENS AT APOLLO TODAY

Eddie Pardo, as Master of Ceremonies, Starts His Second Week at the Circle —'The Student Prince,' With Norma Shearer, Starts at Palace, ENDERLOIN,” the widely heralded talking motion L A picture drama, a Warner Bros.’ production in which, through Vitaphone, the voices of Ihe characters are heard in certain oL‘ the scenes, thereby accentuating their dramatic values, is the chief attraction at the Apollo, reopening today under the management of the new lessees and operators of the theater, Fred J. Dolle and his associates of Louisville, Ky.

Based on a story by Melville Crosman, and directed by Michael Curtiz, “Tenderloin” Avas selected as the first of the “talking movies” by the Warners, for two reasons—its melodramatic story, a thrilling tale cf the underworld, and the strength of the role it afforded its star, Dolores Costello. Miss Costello is cast as Rose Shannon, dancer in a case in New York’s east side. Hurrying home one night Rose sees a bag come over a fence and drop at her feet. She picks it up. The bank around the corner had just been robbed. Surprised in making their getaway, the safe blowers scatter and the man with the swag threw it oves the fence expecting the lookout with the extra car to get it. Os course the police locate the girl and put her through the “third degree,” but upon opening the bag they find it contains nothing but waste paper and brass slugs. What happened to the “fifty grand?” The bandits are sure that the girl knows. Then comes the plot and counterplot, with the solution of the mystery being revealed in the final moments of the picture. Conrad Nagel heads the notable cast in support of Miss Costello, which includes Mitchell Lewis, Dan Wolheim, John Miljan, Georgie Stone and Pat Hartigan. These players have all had experience on the legitimate stage, and are heard as well as seen during the action of the story. Musical accompaniment to “Tenderloin” is provided by the Vitaphone Symphony Orchestra of 105 pieces. The program contains Vitaphone Vaudeville acts by Frank R. Richardson, “The Joy Boy of Song,” and Fred Ardath & Cos. in a comedy sketch, “Men Among Men.” The Movietone News and Movieton special “See and Hear Lindbergh,” serves to introduce the remarkable Movieton to Indianapolis for the first time. ss tt it PARDO STARTS HIS SECOND WEEK AT CIRCLE Eddie Pardo presents “At the Country Club,” as his second production at the Circle Thealer today, in conjunction with the photoplay attraction, “The Mad Hour,” one of Elinor Glyn’s stories of modern youth. The management f the Circle Theater wishes to emphasize that all the big stage shows presented at the Circle Theater are produced entirely by the house staff of the theater. Each week a real Broadway revue is offered for the entertainment of Indianapolis. Sally O’Neil, Alice White, Larry Kent and Lowell Sherman are the stars of “Mad Hour,” a picture of a girl who loved not wisely but too well. It is a scorching story of a young girl who became intoxicated by reckless living, who committed indiscretion after indiscretion until it was almost too late. Elinor Glyn, love seeress, wrote “The Man and the Moment,” from which the picture was adapted. Sally O’Neil plays the part of Cuddles, beautiful, but poor, who tries to keep the pace with New York’s fastest young smart set. When her mad flight of fun ends, she finds herself alone. From poor man’s daughter to millionaire’s wife overnight, what transpires in one mad hour, and after it, makes one of the strangest thrills of motion pictures. Chief among the entertainers who take part in Eddie Pardo’s show, “At the Country Club,” are the Wisner sisters, two beautiful songsters and dancers. Kohn and Depinto play the accordion and violin, as a topical musical interlude. Three hundred pounds of fun and har-

Dave Silverman, conductor of the Ambassador Theater concert orchestra (St. Louis, Mon, has been held over by popular demand as guest conductor lor a second week. This week he is presenting a spe- i cially arranged overture, “Immortal Waltzes.” Dessa Byrd’s organ solo i is “A Song Title Contest,” introduc- : ing “I Still Love You.” tt tt tt “STUDENT PRINCE’’ OPENS AT PALACE “Collegiate” pants, “Rah, rah" hats and the rest of the equipment of the American college boy have no place in the universities of Europe. Noisy rooters and college yells don’t exist; demonstrations at football games are unknown —and they don’t have co-education or petting parties, either. “The Student Prince,” Ernst Lubitsch’s fllmization of the famous old romance of the stage in which i Ramon Novarro and Norma Shearer appear on the screen at Loew’s! Palace, starting today, proves this,; with an actual picture of life in | college across the Atlantic. Heidelberg, most romantic of uni-' versities in Eroupe, looking down' from a high peak on the River Neckar, has little in common with an American college. Novarro plays the tragic part of the young prince, Karl Heinrich, immortalized on the stage by Richard Mansfield, and Miss Shearer! plays his sweetheart, Kathie. In i the cast one will find Jean Her- ! sholt, Edward Connelly, Otis Harlan, Gustav Von Seyferritz, Lionel Belmore, Edythe Chapman and many other familiar names to the film fan. Ernst Lubitsch, director, consid- i ers this picture as one of his best.! This famous director has never made a poor picture, he taking credit for “Passion.” “Kiss Me Again” and many others. The director has treated this most beautiful of love stories in a tender and romantic fashion. It is just a simple plot of a boy and a girl, an unhappy prince and his pathetic sweetheart, a maid in the village inn, but they love with a devotion that is greater than royal tradition, greater than life itself, and because society is what it is and be- | cause youth was made for sacrifice, they part. The picture is produced on a lavish scale with minute atten- ; tion paid to authentic detail. “Spanish Follies” is the stage show for the week and like other Palace shows is created by the trio j of producers from the Capitol The- j ater, Mort Harris, Arthur Knorr and Chester Hale. In the cast are the following: *

Season to Open in Parks Riverside Management Has Made' Many Improvements, TQRACTICALLY every amusement feature, with the exception of the new fun house rapidly nearing completion, will Ire in operation at Riverside Sunday afternoon, it i; announced, and with wanner vv a er expected this week-end in j*.-. visitors are looked for at the amu:.vmenfc resert. Early-season patrons will find many improvements at the W. Thirtieth St. fun spot, and one o the pleasing surprises will no doub. be the extensive system of broad cement walks which have been laid during the off-season. These pavements, twenty feet in width, extend completely around the park. Archie Colter,, manager of Riverside, is authority for the statement that the new concessions and 'remodeling of old ones have cost the park in the neighborhood of $50,000 and the expenditure will placo Riverside among the most modem of amusement resorts in the Middle West. The policy of free admission will be again followed this season. The big dance palace, while not under the management of Riverside, is one of the features, and this season will institute "park plan” dancing, which has p-oved very successful mother amusement resorts.
