PUT ‘INTERFERENCE’ ON YOUR MUST LIST Evelyn Brent Turns Out to Be One of the Surprises of the Season as a Real Movie-Talker. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN THE value of the movie-talker in bringing to the screen a legitimate version of a stage play is again splendidly proven in “Interference." j Because of the very condition of "the road,” it is impossible to get here or elsewhere many interesting stage productions of Broadway plays. Last summer, Stuart Walker presented during his stock engagement "Interference” with a splendid cast. As I write this, I have a better appreciation for stage plans when they arrive on the screen as an all-talker. Play appreciation is mostly in seeing many things, even the same thing dene in various ways. My opportunity in seeing the Stuart Walker presentation of this play has resulted in two things—the better apprecia-

tion of what may be accomplished on the screen through the talker in bringing stage plays in film form, and, also increased my admiration

for the Walker presentations. As jrou know, I have high regard for two other talkers “Tie Barker" and “On Trial." After studyinT “Inters e r e n c e ” very carefully, It seems to me that this all talker proves better than any other so far that legitimate stage plays may b e brought t o the screen with

HHHr

Doris Kenyon

that degree of satisfaction which the stage gives. You are not bothered (should I say that?) with a musical background while the char - acters in “Interference” are acting and telling you the story. The voices of all the principals record better as a whole than any other alltalker I have seen and heard so far. Credit for this goes to Evelyn Brent, as the revengeful blackmailer, Clive Brooke as Sir John Marlay, and William Powell as a bad egg who was man enough to set a wrong situation right, although his method was murder. Doris Kenyon in this picture records fairly wel, but not with that telling effect of Miss Brent, Brooke and Powell. “Interference” gave me the impression that I was much closer to the stage by the way of the screen than I have ever been before. This is due to several causes, the main being that the director did not attempt to rewrite a successful and a smart stage play. This picture gives me the feeling that the all-talker is more secure for the future than it has been. I know that it has taken me a long time to become accustomed to the talker and to the kindred one, musical background and sound. Both are still in the experimental stage, but pictures like “Interference” gives it more security. This one moves like a legitimate play and the actors like the legitimate actor. The settings have been splendidly designed, lending just the right atmospheric touch to the story. As the element of surprise is very important in this movie, I will not tell you the story. Here is gigantic entertainment of the new order. It is a triumph and a beautiful compliment to the advanced day in the movie theater. The movie vaudeville includes Eddie Cantor and Ruth Etting. Now at the Circle. 0 0 0 AND HOW THIS BABY COULD DIG Listen you moderns and you shall hear the story of a cute little dame with naughty eyes and the “givemes,” who dug gold not out of the earth, but from the pockets of men. You will meet her as she is played by Norma Shearer in “A Lady of Chance.” a movie made from the short story, “Little Angel.” You

meet this golddigger under the sympathetic name of Dolly, played by Miss Shearer. Dolly was wise to how to capture her men. You first meet her as a telephone operator in a fashionable New York hotel and she turns on the waterworks in her eyes when a certain man rich in money, but bankrupt in morals comes to her desk.

I f ' ‘■-J-

Gwen Lee

Dolly tells him not about the starving Armenians, but about her poor mother and starving brothers and sisters. Old fat rich man, always desiring to help a poor gal, invites her to his rooms that night. Just when Dolly thought she was going to have easy diggings for gold, two of her crook pals, played by Lowell Sherman and Gwen Lee, cause Dolly to count ’em in on the sweet and easy pickings. So the rich man is steered to the rook apartments of Dolly’s two pals and when the certain rich man leaves he is many thousand shorter in his bank account. Now comes the smart play? The two crook friends begin a campaign to cheat Dolly out of the coin, giving her only ten bucks just to show that they are on the square. Just how Dolly gets all the coin before she leaves the apartment is a mighty smart episode, keenly acted by Miss Shearer, Miss Lee and Sherman. Then Dolly hikes off to Atlantic City while the cement dealers convention is going on. There Dolly traps an innocent victim, played by Johnny Mack Brown. Dolly thinks he is rich, and she about wasted all of her brains in landing the poor fish. She lands him before the altar just a little before her two crook friend? arrive again. Here we have another corkingly smart scene between Miss Brent and the dapper Lowell Sherman. Dolly, in outwitting her crook friends again, goes routh with her husband. Then she learns that her husband isn’t rich at all; all he has is prospects. Then the story is placed in high speed again when the crook friends trace Dolly to the “plantation” of her husband. But Dol’” is forced to allow* her husband to be trapped again by her crook friends when hubby’s prospects turn from cement to gold. Then the story becomes melodramatic—Dolly will not let the crooks

ruin her husband. In a dramatic scene she tells him that she is a i crook, that she violated her prison parole and that the police are looking for her. She calls the police, goes back to prison and the movie ends as all good (?) stories should—happily. Hubby gets Dolly out of prison. Much of the .story is very smart and splendidly acted, but the ending taxes one’s imagination to the | breaking point. You will love the work of Miss Brent, Sherman and Miss Lee in “A Lady of Chance.” It has a musical background and effects. Now at Loew’s Palace. #OO GOOD FEATURE ON VIEW AT INDIANA 3 : Bill Tyler made just one wrong remark when he came up from Texas to the embarkation camp close to New York. Bill stated, in the presence of several

buddies, all members of the same company eh route to France, that a certain young actress happened to be his sweetheart. It wouldn’t have i been so bad but his comrades had a suspicion that perhaps Bill was stretching something, probably the truth. So one night Bill, in company with an escort of

Nancy Carroll

six or eight menacing fellow soldiers, is waiting at the stage door where the famous Daisy Heath will eveiiLually appear as she leaves the theater for home. By the simple expedient of stepping on the actress’s foot Bill succeeds in striking up a conversation and tells her the trouble he is in. It will be just too bad for him if the gang finds out that his little stories about himself and the actress are not 100 per cent facts. Daisy quickly bums sympathetic for the big Texan and when the curious soldiers gather around to see whether Bill knows her or not she readily admits that she is Bill’s girl For this favor Bill is a willing slave from then on. Gary Cooper as Bill and Nancy Carroll as Daisy Heath are splendid in this picture, “The Shopworn Angel.” It gives both players many : opportunities to display fine work, both in the talking sequences and the rest of the picture. This is the first time movie audiences have heard Cooper in a speaking part, and from all indications many are the feminine hearts that will thrill a little when the tall, masculine, former cow-puncher drawls out a sentimental sentence or two. The song that Nancy Carroll sings is all right as songs go, and will not detract any from her work in the story, but it is not just the brand of voice to be expected from a reigning stage favorite. In the last scenes however, the contrast of her voice in song is needed for the purpose of the plot and could not be dispensed with, according to the end used in the picture. This ending | will not be liked by many but the excellent work done by the players will offset the unconventional finale. Paul Lukas as the wealthy “Angel,” whose business at the moment is that of taking care of Daisy in an elaborate way, brings an exceedingly fine characterization to the picture, in keeping with the standard set by the two leads. On the stage Charlie Davis and his band are the most important things this week. Charlie has several hot tunes that his hearers demand very strongly to hear. The usual snappy chorus of girls and specialty numbers by singles and teams are present, making up a very worthwhile offering for the week. At the Indiana—(By J. T. H.) #OO “ON TRIAL” STAYS AT THE APOLLO The drawing power of “On Trial,” an all-talker, is proven by the fact that it is now in its second week at the Apollo. Ijist week in this department I told you at length about this picture.

It has. as you recall, the leading services of Bert Lytell. Lois Wilson, Pauline Frederick, Richard Tucker. Holmes Herbert and others. It is br -ed upon the stage play. The voices of Tucker and Miss Wilson record the best. You remember that I found fault with tl c recorded voice of

Lois Wilron

Miss Frederick, but not her acting. To me. it seems that Miss Wilson, who might have been forgotten in ! the silent drama, has arrived to stay on as long as the talker re- ; mains popular. Her voice records 1 better than that of any other wom- ‘ an I have heard in the movie talker. Her work while being examined on

Verdict of the New Movies LOEW S PALACE—Norma Shearer, Lowell Sherman and Gwen Lee dish out so very smart and modem gold digging fun in "A Lady of Chance.” ClßCLE—“lnterference” gives one mo. aith in the value of the alltalker in bringing big stage shows to the screen. Here is a triumph. See it. APOLLO—“On Trial," an all-talker, is in its second week here. It is a success. INDIANA—Gary Cooper and Nancy Carroll in “The Shopworn Angel,” have a splendid picture and offer the theater-goer fine fare for the week.

‘Messiah’and Hans Kindler Were Two Splendid Events

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN Two splendid musical events were the high lights of the Sunday offerings. Hans Kindler, cellist, gave his most popular concert at the Academy of Music yesterday afternoon under the direction of the Indianapolis Maennerchor. The other event, different in nature, but also a triumph, was the way the sacred oratorio of Handel, “The Messiah,” was given at Christ church by the boys choir and special soloists. I have heard “The Messiah” done by a gigantic chorus of several hundred voices but last night was the first time that I heard this impressive and soul stirring oratorio sung in a church as a part of the service “The Messiah” belongs to the church and* its spiritual setting. I have seen “Everyman ” a morality olay both in the church and the theater. “I can truthfully say and with no hesitatior that “The Messiah” as done by the vested boys choir of Christ Episcopal church last night

left me more impressed than any other presentation of this great work. Credit goes to Cheston L. Heath, organist and choirmaster who demonstrated that he could play a pipe organ and at the same time direct more than fifty voices. The soloists were Mathilda C. Heuser, soprano; Jerome Cohn, boy soprano, and a real one at that, with a splendid voice; Mary Traub Busch, contralto, an authority on the contralto part of this oratorio: E. V. Alexander, tenor; Ernst Heberlein, basso, and Paul Raymond basso. I was interested in the work of young Cohn in singing, air for soprano, “But Thou Didst Not Leave His Soul in Hell.” Here is a boy, if the voice stays and yields to development, will be a credit to this city. The air for bass, “But Thou Didst Not Leave His Soul in Hell” and “Hallelujah Chorus” were other high lights of the evening. Once in my life have I heard “The Messiah” in its correct sur-

Nov/ we will go back to the afternon and visit the Academy of Music to pay our respects to Hans Kindler. He seems to be a bigger artist today, both from a technical standpoint as well as from the personality viewpoint. Here is one concert artist who is not afraid to yield honestly in mood to the theme in hand. He dees not strike an empty pose but enters mantally and even physically the spirit of the theme. It seems that his body becomes a part of his cello In other words, here is one great - rtist who has the power and peronality to lift the cello up to a -nighty high level. To me, he is the only one in my xperience who can accomplish that •igantic task. He opened with .landel's “Sonata.” He showed his reat technique best while playing a Mozart concerto. His third group was filled with light but sweet little things, gorgeously played. For a final encore, he played one of the discovered compositions of Schubert for cello. As he started this number that “here is real Schubert.” And it was. Another great concert.
