GILLINGWATER IS AGAIN THE ‘CRAB’ Charlie Davis and His Band Receive Tremendous Ovation When They Return to Indiana After Vacation. . B by WALTER D. HICKMAN. EING an old crab is about the best thing that Claude Gillingwater does on the screen. His shadow has been the “crab” for many years and now the talkers permit him to be even a better “crab.’ Am trying to tell you about the Vitaphone movie, “Women They Talk About.’ Many people will go to see this one just because Irene Rich is in the cast, but it will be Gillingwater they will be talking about when they leave the theater. Gillingwater is cast as a rich old man whose daughter had gone to ■Europe and became very blase as well as wise. After being absent for live years, she returns.

This role is played by Miss Rich and her companion is a pretty little thing played by Audtey Ferris. Miss Rich is the woman

they get talking about because she is very modern she gets into politics and becomes a oandidate for the mayor of her town just to teach a former sweetheart of hers a lesson. Said former sweetheart was mayor and wanted the job again. During this contest, we see Gillingwater as the father of the

V

Wm. Collier Jr.

female candidate getting in loads of trouble. He hates the mayor and works himself up in a fever. Many of these scenes are done as talkers with a musical background. You are able to hear the voice of Gillingwater about as well as when he was on the stage in the delightful “Three Wise Fools.” Gillingwater was a good actor long before the movies captured him and now the talkers will give thousands of people a chance to hear his voice again. I au thankful for the talking movies at least for that reason. And w'hen you leave the Apollo after seeing “Women They Talk About” you W’ill hear the voice of Gillingwater still crying out for a fight. Miss Rich is not called upon to do much heavy acting. She dresses well and as you know this woman knows how to walk before the camera. And remember that is high art. The love element of the story is put over in grand style by Audrey Ferris and William Collier, Jr. These two youngsters know how to . ia.e love in the right way. “Women They Talk” about it goou theater with strong doses of melodrama and the love interest. Here is a corking good date night picture. It make the whole world a little happier place in which to live. You can probably guess by this time that I had a grand and glorious time when I saw this one. Os the Vitaphone numbers on the bill this week, I think you will get your biggest thrill out of Polly Moran. She is doing her former vaudeville act. Os course she registers and her voice does the same. Hugh Herbert and Walter Weems in “The Lemon,” another ‘Vitaphone sketch. Now at the Apollo. tt B B CHARLIE DAVIS IS WELCOMED HOME AGAIN From all appearances there are several things about the Indiana that the public likes, and they are all Charlie Davis. He goes away for a couple of weeks and when he comes back to town he just ruins a fellow’s chances of getting a good seat in the theater. Every one else is there ahead of you. With Charlie opening the show in a little piano solo with a few

words of appreciation or his old home town, we see a very fin: exhibition ot wha l a smart, eleven and thoroughly entertaining uni: Publix can put out. It is “Old Home Week” for pharlic Davis on the stage. Lights, musical sea t u res songs, dances —in fact everything you see and hear is the last word

in perfected entertainment. And to set it all off is the always welcome Charlie Davis smile and manner of doing things. Chester Fredricks is one of those wild, careless fellows who dances ail over the stage in a way that makes you shudder sometimes at the chances he apparently takes. For sheer vitality and rhythm in motion he is a master. Prosper and Moret have another splendid offering in their athletic Work. Seemingly impossible things are done by these two men as you watch them and doubt your own eyes. To watch them work is like beholding some beautiful piece of machinery slowed down so you can see all the intricate details of its operation. You cannot help but admire the precision and ease with which these men work. Evans and Mayer are a couple of eccentrics, who freely admit that you couldn’t guess what they were by looking at them. They have several comic songs that get over fairly well. A dozen xylophones played in a symphonic arrangement, make a novel finale for the stage show. The i effect is pleasing from both a musical and novelty standard. “No Other Woman,” the film > featuring Dolores Del Rio, during the first part is just a messy arrangement of silly and boring

LASTING RELIEF

A. W. Mize, 204 Cornell St., Indianapolis. Ind., night watchman, 70 years old, says: “I got lasting relief after taking Argray tablets. I had suffered a bladder trouble for years due to the prostate gland being swollen, partly closing the neck of the bladder, preventing it from oeing thoroughly emptied. After taking Argray tablets, I passed large gravel owing to the uric acid sediment that I had collected in my bladder.” Argray tablets are soothing, cleansing and healing to the affected parts.

slush.. Reminds one of the stories popular about thirty years ago, the wicked duchess and the sweet young thing and all that. The latter half of the story peps up a little and begins to look like it might be interesting, and it is toward the end. Too bad the Senorita Del Rio has to rely on eyes and expressive bare shoulders to get across. It would be much more entertaining if she could act. The story is laid in Biarritz with Dolores as the Cuban heiress about to many a fellow countryman who is secretary of the Cuban legation. Don Alvarado as the young hus-band-to-be unluckily introduces one of his friends to his fiancee and the low-down friend just gums up all the wedding plans and steals the bride for himself. Most of the things depicted during this part of the picture could not happen to intelligent people, so we are led to believe that the author’s motive here was to convince us that people who have a lot of money and frequent the European watering places are just a little bit lacking in their mental make-up. And as a final catty remark we r.hink Dolores is much better looking nowadays when she is not in a close-up. On view at the Indiana. (By J. T. H.) B tt B -SILLS HAS POWERFUL NEW PICTURE AT CIRCLE At last we have found out what “IT” is. This little pronoun has puzzled us ever since Madame Glyn made the word famous. But now we have it, not “IT,” but it meaning the solution to the perplexing problem. Anita La Pierre has “IT,” and plenty of it. From France, she

has brought with her a most charming personality. She sings, in French, which we do not understand at all. She don’t wiggle around as is the habit of most of our comediennes, and yet, we like her better, much better, than the wiggliest of our singer-con-tortionists. And you w’ill also when you see her on the Circle bill this week.

Mil Sills

Chilton and Thomas took the house by storm when w r e witnessed the show, and deservedly so. This dancing team offers a fast snappy act that is full of real merit. Scotty Weston has a good routine of tap dancing done with ease and cleverness. Nothing unusual fmt all good work. The comedy of Coleman Goetz is just like his unforseer, appearances. He thinks of something funny and passes it on. Every time we see him at the Circle he has something new to offer. The dancing girls, anew song brought out by Dick Powell, Ed Resener and the orchestra and Dessa Byrd make up the rest of the high points of the program. Some have said that Milton Sills was getting old and a little shop worn. The first thing these people should do Is see “Burning Daylight,” his latest picture, and there is not a doubt in our mind but what these people will change their opinion. Sills is powerful, masterful and at times heroic. Catching the virile spirit of Jack London, Sills has made a film that is as entertaining as the book. And

that means something when you consider this story. The Klondike in the golden days, when a square meal cost a fellow around five dollars in gold dust; when all America was engaged in a mad scramble for the land of promise, the newly discovered gold fields of Alaska; all the tenseness of the old West with the added color of easy money is pictured here. “Burning Daylight,” played by Sills, is one of the most spectacular members of a small group composing the outpost of civilization in this barren north country. “Daylight” 'believes that gold is to be found in abundance farther up the Yukon and with two companions sets out to find it. The gold Is found and anew town is staked out, eventually making the three wealthier than they had ever hoped to be. Then with “Virgie,” a reigning dance hall beauty, “Daylight” and his companions set out to conquer

FIRST HOT AND THEN MELODRAMA • When “The Mysterious Lady” was ordered into production, the thought probably was that everthing would be done to make the story “hot” but remain at a sufficient temperature which would prevent any one becoming overheated. Greta Garbo was then put in the cast and as soon as Conrad Nagel appeared on the lot it was evident that the warm atmosphere of “The Mysterious Lady” was guaranteed. We first see Nagel as a foreign army officer who meets a fascinating woman. Oh, this woman is very smart and she is good looking. Conrad goes wild over the girl, and

when the orchestra at the opera plays a warm grand opera, tune the two dream dreams of love. Nagel and the mysterious lady stage several petting parties. Both are educated to the ways of the world and this awakens the real spirit in the girl. She falls in love with the army officer, but the mysterious visitor has a secret mission. She is a spy for the Russian Czar. When her identity is discovered she tells her army officer to have faith. Conrad tells her to take out her walking papers. That causes Greta to tell Conrad just where to get off. She then steals some important papers from him and makes her getaway. Os course, our hero has a most terrible time w’ith his superior officers and he is jailed and disgraced. He is able to escape from prison and goes to Russia as a pianst.

He runs into his former lady love and she is having a gay old time celebrating her victory of getting information for the Russians. But running true to the type of the modern heroine, she knows that she has done her lover a dirty trick, so to speak. Her heart tells her that she is dead wrong and for awhile we are convinced that the old girl is on the square. She proves her point and when the story ends Greta and Conrad are very, very happy. Thank you. “The Mysterious Lady” probably comes under the head of interesting melodrama. The story is mine run, but it has been doctored up by good acting, splendid photography and excellent direction. Bill includes the local edition of "Our Gang” Comedy. Now at Loew’s Palace.
