‘THE GARDEN IS PAL AC FEATURE PICTURI

'Corrine Griffith Plays Part of Cabaret Dancer in ModernDay Film —‘Harold Teen,’ Story of High School Youth, at Circle, CORINNE GRIFFITH’S first United Artists picture, “The Garden of Eden,” differs from earlier Corinne Griffith films. One of its chief distinctions is that the material was adapted from a continental stage success and the picture was being made before the stage version had reached London and New Xork, which reverses the usual American procedure of waiting until a play has made a hit in the United States before adapting it for the screen. *

“The Garden of Eden,” jwliich is playing at Loew’s Palace Theater, starting today, for its first showing in this locality, offers Mi-.n GrtrHlu la a pxrt said to have mote comedy than pares she usually plays. “The Garden of Eden” has a touch of symbolism, as the< title would indicate, but it is a modern tale involving the difficulties of Toni Le Brun, a little entertainer at a Budapest cabaret. Toni, played by Miss Griffith, has gone to Monte Carlo following the collapse of her job in Budapest, and she is posing as the daughter of the indigent Baroness Rosa. Toni becomes engaged to the rich young Richard Spanyi, but the course of true love proves about as smoothrunning as a flat tire, partly because of Richard’s own inability to declare himself and partly through the snobbishness of his aunts and uncles. Things finally reach such a pass that just before the wedding, which is a blue-ribbon social event, Toni is forced by her pride and other circumstances to reveal her identity. Richard’s inability to adjust himself to the changed conditions and the supercilious smugness of the assembled relatives are too much for the independent child of the stage, and she upbraids them all, at the same time stripping off the laces, the jewels, the gloves and even the wedding gown which Richard has contributed to the occasion. Clad only in her underwear, which is all she had on that belonged to her, Toni stalks haughtily from the room just as the orchestra strikes up the wedding march and flees to safety. To tell the rest of the plot would spoil the story. On the stage another Mort Harris stage show will be seen, entitled "Odds and Ends,” and a feature of the show will be a return engagement of Rome and Dunn, who were seen at the Palace for three weeks recently. Other acts are Ossman and Schepp, Markel and Faun, and Joe Ross. The Hoosier Rockets will be in their last week. Emil Seidel will act as caster of ceremonies and direct the Palace Stage Orchestra as well. Lester Huff at the organ, and short films will be on the bill. no a “HAROLD TEEN” IS CIRCLE FEATURE “Harold Teen” is the young high school boy whose antics in Carl Ed’s comic strip of the same name which has amused newspaper readers for many years. Harold makes his debut in celluloid at the Circle theater today. A real Harold Teen cast has been assembled to introduce these characters to their screen audience. Arthur Lake plays Harold Teen, Alice White is Giggles, Mary Erian is Lillums, Jack Duffy is Grandpop, while Lucien Littlefield will be Dad Jenks. “Harold Teen” is shown together with the Circle’s stage show, “Revue in Blue,” Featuring Dick Powell, the “Patriotic Fantasie,” Ed Resener’s overture, and an organ solo by Dessa Byrd. “Harold Teen” is a tale of youthful puppy love of two rivals for the hand of the fair Lillums Lovewell, the high school belle. The yellowslickered suitors strive to win Lillums, but only with the opposition of Giggles, the red-headed “otherwoman.” All the fun and vivacity of high school days are crowded into “Harold Teen.” Dick Powell’s “Revue in Blue” is a melange of blue melodies, blue dances, blue humor all co-ordinated in a blue setting. Ginger Rogers, who was here several weeks ago, has been brought back. Walter Nilsson, the unicycle comedian; Shannon’s Playtime Frolic, a team of comedy acrobats, and Sanna up another one of the Circle’s shows, and Wallace, adagio dancers, make

The Circle Comets will be seen in another series of dance routine. Featured in “Revue in Blue” is the production number based on the “Rhapsody in Blue.” bob APOLLO TO SHOW ZANE GREY STORY Zane Grey’s tale of the West, “The Vanishing Pioneer,” filmed under the direction of John Waters, and starring Jack Holt, is the attraction at the Apollo starting today. Holt emerges from a brief retirement from picture activities in a outdoors role of the tjpe with which he gained popularity in “Light of Western Stars” and “The Thundering Herd,” also from Grey’s facile pen. “The Vanishing Pioneer” is a story' of romance and adventure culminating in a battle between ranchers and crooked officials for the control of valuable water rights. A prologue precedes the story proper, showing an intrepid band of homeseekers treking Westward in covered wagons to settle and establish ranch sites in arid desert lands which they make green and fertile through irrigation. Twenty-five years later finds the descendants of the original settlers in a bitter fight to prevent their water rights being stolen, for the benefit of a booming city nearby. Holt is cast at John Ballard, son of one of the original pioneers, who champions the cause of the ranch owners at the risk of his own life. A love affair between John and June Shelby, played by Sally Blane, furnishes abundant romantic interest. In the supporting cast are William Powell, Fred Kohler, Guy Oliver, Roscoe Karne and little Tim Holt, Jack’s son. Important news events from all over the world are both seen and heard via Movietone news reels. Vitaphone vaudeville acts are offered by May McAvoy and company in a comedy sketch, “Sunny California,” and Jack Haley and Flo McFadden, presenting a laugh concoction called “Haleyisms.” CLARA BOW FILM SHOWN AT INDIANA Clara Bow, the “It” girl, returns in "Ladies of the Mob,” 'so the Indiana theater together with Charlie Davis and his stage band in “Swanee Moon,” the Publix stage show produced by Frank Cambria. Richard Arlen, who was seen with Clara Bow in “Wings,” plays opposite her again in “Ladies of the Mob,” anew departure in pictures for Clara Bow. The flapper girl is to become a genuine actress in her latest picture, in which she portrays a woman’s loyalty to her sweetheart. She picked her man, stuck to him, fought for him and protected him when he didn't have a chance. It is the supreme story of sacrifice of a woman who knew how to keep her man. Charlie Davis has arranged a program of hot melodies for his part in the stage show, “Swanee Moon." Kathryn Lewis and Charles Ches-

Resort to I Have Free I Featurel Two Brothers Will Make Parachute Jumps Sunday, A PARACHUTE race and an exhibition of a troupe of fancy rifle shots will form the free attractions at Riverside Amusement Park this week-end. The parachute race will be staged Sunday afternoon and will be participated in by the two Shafer brothers, the ascension being the first trip into the air for the younger Shafer. Claude Shafer, the elder, known as the “Patent Leather Kid,” has been thrilling Riverside crowds with his parachute stunts this summer, and has agreed to take his “kid brother” up with him this Sunday. Each balloonist will be equipped with several parachutes, and at a signal from a starting bomb in the park, both stunt men will cut loose from the balloon and the race will be on, the first one to reach the ground to be declared the winner. The sharpshooting exhibition will be by the Mansfield Troupe, who were at Riverside last week-end. Many new features will be Introduced in this week-end’s performances, which will be given tonight and tomorrow night, with a matinee tomorrow afternoon. A challenge to any shooter on the Indianapolis police force has been issued by Frank Mansfield of the trio, but as yet there has been no response from the sharpshooters of the department. Riverside officials are busy with preparations for a monster celebration of the Fourth next Wednesday, and many free attractions are being arranged to entertain the holiday crowds, among which will be a parachute race participated in by three girl balloonists, a high diving act and display of fireworks.
