GILDA GRAY ON BOTH STAGE, SCREEN AT LOEW’S PALACE

'His Tiger Lady,’ With Adolph Menjou and Evelyn Brent, Starts at Indiana Today—‘Why Sailors Go Wrong’ Is Apollo Filn* ONE of the amusement events of the season takes place, starting today, when Gilda Gray, dancer, singer and actress, appears on the stage of Loew’s Palace Theater in a series of dance creations and on the screen in her latest Picture, “The Devil Dancer,” sponsored by Samuel Goldwvn. in her review this dancer is presenting, for the first time in Indianapolis, an authentic East Indian Nautch dance of the

sort that is performed in the celebrated Nautch houses of Bombay. This is a vigorous, whirling dance, imbued with the smoldering passions of the evermysterious Orient. Another of her dances is the Devil dance, created especially for her motion picture on the same program. This is a slow, rhythmic dance in contrast to the rapid movement of the Nautch dance. It is designated to represent the sensuous and voluptuous ritual employed by the dancers in the pagan temples of Tibet to appease the angry devil-gods which frighten the natives of Tibet. The third dance which Miss Gray is performing herself this week at the Palace is a modern American jazz dance, She is supported in her stage reVue by Amerique and Neville and a large company of dancing girls. The photoplay at the Palace, “The Devil Dancer,” in which Gilda Gray is also appearing as the star, tells the story of a white child brought up in a Tibetan temple to the career of a ceremonial dancer—the lamas (Tibetan monks) having found the child after her missionary parents were killed by bandits. In this remote land of Tibet, lying six miles high in the Himalaya Mountains, no other white person is supposed to see the secret devilworshiping rites. But when Gilda is performing her slow, languorous 1 dance to the devil-gods before the temple altars, she is seen by a courageous English explorer (played by Clive Brook), who has penetrated the temple in disguise. He helps her to escape from the slavery of the pagan dance rituals, with the intent of taking her back to her own people in Christian lands. The cinema details their flight through Tibet, pursued by the avenging lamas, following them into the dusty plains of India, into English hill stations, into Nautch houses of Bombay, along the colorful banks of the holy Ganges River —said to give the spectator a story of love and adventure and a colorful panorama of the Orient. tt tt tt MENJOU IN NEW PICTURE AT INDIANA Adolpho Menjou, the sophisticate of the screen, is starred at the Indiana Theater, starting today in “His Tiger Lady.” The story is of an'“extra” actor who wins a duchess. Evelyn Brent, star of “Underworld,” plays opposite Menjou. Charlie Davis and his Indiana band are featured in “Hey! Hey!” a Jack Partington Publix stage show. Stuart Barrie, America’s premier solo organist, in collaboration with Charlie Davis, has arranged “A Battle of Music,” in which the orchestra and the organ vie for musical supremacy in a musics! divertisement. The Indiana News will be another feature. Adolph Menjou plays the part of a super who becomes fascinated by a duchess who is a nightly patron of the show in which Menjou takes a minor part. To win the attention of the duchess the super “borrows” the lavish costume of a Maharajah in the show, and proceeds to give the duchess the impression that he is a real Hindoo prince. Fascinated by her prince the duchess “falls” for her sophisticated lover. To test the courage of her lovers, the duchess .submits each to the ordeal of entering a tiger’s cage. So in his turn the super is asked to brave the wild animal. The sequil to his impersonation comes with this scene. Frank De Voe, comedy singer in vaudeville and musical comedy, is featured with Charlie Davis’ show. “Hey! Hey!” Eddie Willis appears as accompanist. Jack Powell, the trapdrum “tornado,” has an act built around his drums. The Gibson sisters are a dance team. John Boyle, dance producer for Ziegfeld’s “Follies,” and other musical shows, trained the "Hey-Hey” girls, J e dancing ensemble. tt tt u COMEDY PICTURE AT THE APOLLO Henry Lehrman’s comedy production, “Why Sailors Go Wrong,” is featured on the program opening at the "Apollo today.

signed to Nick Stuart and titianhaired Sally Phipps. Despite its title, “Why Sailors Go Wrong,” is not wholly a tale of the bounding main. The action starts in New York City, is transferred to ! a yacht, and thence to a tropical island. Its heroes are a couple of cab drivers who become sailors through force of circumstances. Romance is supplied by Stuart and Miss Phipps cast respectively as Dick Wright and Doris Martin. When Doris and her father become members of a yachting party sponsored by Paul Hastings, the latter, in love with Doris himself, bars Dick. Determined to be with his sweetheart at any cost, Dick gets two cab drivers to smuggle him on board the Hastings yacht! When the trio of interlopers are discovered by Hastings he puts the cab drivers to work swabbing decks, and makes a prisoner of young Wright. During a heavy storm at sea the yacht is wrecked on an island inhabited by wild beasts, savages and pretty hula girls. The castaways are beset with danger, have many adventures, and with Cohen and “Mac” still acting as ambassadors for Dan Cupid, are kept busy remaining one or two jumps ahead of the cannibalistic natives. The cast includes Carl Miller, E. H. Calvert and Jack Pennick. The program contains Movietone news reels, Vitaphone vaudeville acts by Venita Gould, impersonatoi of famous stage stars; the “Two Doves,” black-face comedians, and Clyde Cook and company in a comedy skit. tt tt tt “HAPPY DAYS” IS CIRCLE STAGE SHOW “Happy Days,” the stage show, with Dick Powell as master of ceremonies, and Dorothy Mackaill and Jack Mulhall in “Lady, Be Good!” make up the show at the Circle Theater, starting today. Ed Resener, conductor of the Circle concert orchestra, has arranged as an overture, “Indian Legend,” a compilation of famous Indian songs. Marjorie Alton has produced the overture which is presented with a motion picture. Dessa Byrd’s organ solo is another one of her “SingSongs.” Coleman Goetz, a comedian, Is one of the stars. A1 and Jack Rand, seen before at the Circle Theater, have an eccentric dance routine. The Six Cracker jacks are dancers. Lillian Dawson is a "blues” singer. Dick Powelf sings “Happy Go Lucky.” “Lady, Be Good” is the latest Mulhall-Mackaill comedy, and is adapted from the musical comedy by George Gershwin. It is set off by the musical accompaniment provided by the Circle orchestra. Mulhall plays the part of a smalltime ma-gacian whose vaudeville act is popularized by his shapely assistant, the role taken by Dorothy Mackaill. When the assistant wants to become a dancer and is given an opportunity to star in another act, the magician becomes jealous and the act breaks up. He gets another assistant, but his heart is no longer in his work. tt u tt OHIO STARTS NEW POLICY Starting today the Ohio Theater inaugurates its new summer policy, changing its pictures twice weekly, on Saturday and Wednesday, and

Along “Joy Lane,” as the midway is known, there are rides and concessions of all descriptions, including the Palace of Mystery, with its illusions, which are presented by a group of pretty girls under the direction of Charles W. Reed, builder of park amusements. Then there is Blue Beard’s Castle, with its uncanny and fun creating interior, the Ski, the long coaster ride, the Tumble Bug, Whip, Ferris Wheel. Merry Go Round, Aerial Swing, Shoot-the-Chutes, Fairyland Station, Kentucky Derby, Skeeball Alleys, Rifle Range, Dodgem Doll Racks, Weight Tester, High Striker, Penny Arcade and others. The Moonlight Dance Garden, where the dancers may either step in the garden proper or out in the open, is popular with its free dances every night in the week, with music by Holland’s Golden Orioles. The installation of the hugh auditorium Orthophonic has found approval from the park patrons, who are treated to a varied program of the latest hits daily. The skating rink vies with other attractions for popularity with its carnival nights and contests each week. The bathing beach, which has been handicapped by unseasonable weather, is one of the highlights of the park and will doubtless come into its own when the weather man sends on some swimming weather. An added attraction for tomorrow will be “Dare-Devil” Huggins, who will make a balloon ascension and parachute drop. A baseball game and other athletic events will be staged on the park athletic field. Fireworks will close the program.
