The things she does, the things £rc learns and the things she 'earhes the haughty Fairchilds rrates no end of surprises, with the •.ggest uirpri.se being allotted by Dan Onpirt to the daring Annabel icrself.

Ralph Graves, making his first appearance on the talking screen, heads the supporting cast, which c -ntains Audrey Ferris, Albert Gran, Maude Turner, Claude Gilling•vater, Arthur Rankin. Dale Fuller, Andre Beranger, Leri Moran and Tom Kennedy. The program includes Ha. ry Hor- ! tick and his A. Ac P.

Hundreds of thousands of feet of j film were shot, and out of this vast a mount of photography, enough to make dozens of feature length mo- | tion pictures, Lubitsch and his staff j spent, weeks selecting the best ac- i tion to “Eternal Love,” as it will be i seen on the screen. The maker of "Passion” and other historical spectacles; of "The Marriage Circle.” “Lady Windermere’s Fail" and similar examples of screen sophistication; of the colorful "Old Heidelberg,” of the grim masterpiece. "The Patriot.” now presents ! to audiences his conception of a great love story. Hans Kralv wrote the screen adaptation from Jacob Christoph Heers novel, which has enjoyed wide popularity in Europe. Although Camille Horn is the leading lady, feminine honors are reported to be abon.. equally divided between her and Mona Rico. Lubitsch's Mexican discovery, who had only eight days’ experience in pictures when she was picked from the extra ranks and given one of the year's best screen roles. Miss Rico plays a wild mountain girl who tricks Barrymore into marriage and steals him away from his sweetheart (Miss Horn.) Other principals in the cast are Victor Varconi, Hobart Bosworth, Bodil Rosing and Evelyn Selbie. Oliver Marsh headed the camera battery which photographed "Eternal love,” and Walter Reimann. a noted German artist, was brought to American from Berlin to design the sets and costumes. A special sound score personally devised by Hugo Riesenfeld. cele- j br&ted composer and conductor I and played by the Riesenfeld or- i eheetra. will be a feature of the pre- j sentation of “Eternal Love." New Metro Movietone acts to be seen and heard on the screen include Bernard and Henrie. best known as the female Van and Schenck of vaudeville, who will harmonize in song, plqs personality, and Craig Campbell, one of the best known tenors on the operatic stage. | and who also was solo tenor of the ! famous Little Church Around 'the Corner, located in New York City. Charles Chase will be seen and heard in his first talking comedy, ’.The Big Squawk," a tale of Charlie his troubles in love, in which he makes good use of his ability to change his voice from that of a he-man lover, to a mimicing of a supposedly female admirer. The Fox Movietone News, better known as the talking news reel; Lester Huff at the organ console, and the M. G. M. News Review, will complete the program. a a a NEW BILLIE DOVE MOVIE HERE Billie Dove's first all-dialogue picture. ’Careers.'’ is the feature presentation now at. the Indiana. On the stage. Charlie Davis and his boys offer a Publix production entitled "Ride 'Em Cowboy." "Careers” is a story of social and political life in Cochin-China, in the southernmost sections of French Indo-China. It is based on the German stage play. “Karriere.” and was adapted to the screen by Forrest Halsey. John Francis Dillon directed “Careers,” with a supporting cast including Antonio Moreno. Noah Beerv. Thelma Todd. Carmel Myers, Robert Frazer. Holmes Herbert, Sojin, Robert Sellable and others of note. It is an all-dialogue production, and also features songs by Carmel Myers and Count Andre de Segurola. The picture involves the ambitions of the diplomatic circle members in that part of the country. Highly dramatic, tense at moments and very colorful in atmosphere, it is said this production should rank as one of the best Billie Dove features in years. Charlie Davis band are contributing. their usual pleasing musical numbers in the stage show this week. Members of the unit are

It is taken from the stage play of the same name that ran on Broadway for many months. The screen version is an all-dialogue picture and many of the lines heard in the play will be heard on . the talking screen. Alexander Korda directed. The sOory concerns a peaceful Hungarian family. There is a middle-aged father and mother; their son who loves a maiden and their two servants, male and female, who also love each other. Into this atmosphere comes Nubi, the gypsy charmer. She seeks sanctuary, claiming that she was stolen by a band of gypsies. They believe her and accept her as a servant. But Nubi is not satisfied with that. She proceeds to destroy the love she finds within the home and very nearly wrecks the entire domicile. Her procedure is daring and gives the screen some of the most impassioned scenes of recent years. The cast of “The Squall” includes Alice Joyce, Myrna Loy, Richard Tucker. Carroll Nye. Loretta Young, Nicholas Soussanin, Zasu Pitts, George Hackathorne, Harry Cording and others. Miss Loy plays the role of the devastating gypsy maid who entered the peaceful home and created havoc in the love that existed in that household. a a a “THE IRON MASK” OPENS AT THE OHIO Douglas Fairbanks’ newest United Artists picture, “The. Iron Mask,” opens today at the Ohio for the coming week’s attraction. D'Artagnan, played by Fairbanks, and his three faithful friends ride again through the hrilling adventures of love, war and intrigue, which the whole world knows so well. From beginning to end the picture is filled with daring ventures and breath-taking episodes, such as only Dumas, the author, could conceive and only his supermen could execute. Not for one moment does the tempo of the picture relax in its speed. Scenes of rash courage, swift dare-deviltry, boisterous comedy and tender love follow each other in thrilling succession. The story is the sequel to “The Three Musketeers” and is said by many to be one of the greatest pictures Fairbanks has ever made. Many of the original “Musketeers’ ” cast have been obtained fer "The Iron Mask." The musketeers are the same. Marguerite de la Motte is seen again as Constance, and Nigel de Brugier plays Richelieu, as he did before. Vitaphone short subjects and an all-talking comedy, "Dancing Around,” a George Le Maire production. complete the bill. a a a POSING ACT BOOKED AT COLONIAL When Mildred Garrison makes her appearance Sunday on the Colonial stage, no doubt many of the audience will attempt to recall when and where they have seer, her before. Avery few probably have, but all have seen her picture smiling at them from billboards, from advertisements in drug stores and soda fountains and from the box of a well-known cereal, since Miss Garrison has not only posed for such well-known artists as Charles Dana Gibson. Harrison Fisher, and others, but her face and figure have appeared for a number of nationally advertised products. "Trial Marriage" will be shown as the feature picture production for the week. a a a NEW MOVIE DIE AT GRANADA Baelanova has turned her talents to portraying the role of a dynamic Russian enchantress who snares every white man who comes to her African village outpost in “A Dangerous Woman," opening at the Granada Monday. Clive Brook is the hero and Neil Hamilton and ! Clyde Cook have important parts. Douglas Mac Lean is just a peaceful typewriter salesman, but mistaken identity gets him into all sorts of ticklish circumstances in "The Carnation Kid,” the Granada's feature for Wednesday and Thursday. Doug is mistaken by a bunch of crooks and hailed as the great “Carnation Kid.” gunman supreme. Frances Lee is the heroine. Sally O'Neil has the leading role i in “The Girl on the Barge.” to be shown Friday and Saturday.

Sunday School Lesson

The Internationa] t'nifornf Sunday School 1/esson for June 9. Thf Benefits of Total Abstinence. Jeremiah 35:5-11, BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D. Fditor of The Confrrejrationalist TFIE ancient world did not have the problem of distilled liquors and the powerful intoxicants that are inventions of modern time, but wine in a grape-growing country proved sufficiently intoxicating to make the problem of drunkenness very ancient and very real. Always, apparently, there were the same reactions to this situation—those who went to extremes of excess in drinking, and those who, seeing the evil of this thing that took away men’s senses and wills, determined that they would have nothing to do with intoxicants. Without discussing the claims of those who assert that the Bible in specific passages does not forbid the drinking of intoxicating liquor or does not characterize it as a sin, it ought to be fairly clear to any unbiased mind that the general spirit of the Bible °nd the actual text of many passages is against the use of anything that destroys man's conscious mastery of himself, and that in this connection wine is described as a "mocker” and strong drink is characterized as “raging.” Those who follow the law of total abstinence and those who fight the liquor traffic in the modern world have the Bible on their side, despite the quoting of an occasional text thai might go to uphold the comparative harmlessness or even the supposed benefit of the moderate use of wine. It ought to be fairly obvious to any one who thoughtfuly considers the matter that such passages as have been quoted by those who oppose such measures as prohibition in modem days have little or nothing to do with that issue. The question underlying prohibition is not whether or not drinking fee a sin, nor is it even whether under certain circumstances the moderate use of liquor might be a benefit. The question is rather that of the general effect upon society of traffic in alcoholic intoxicants and whether that effect Le so evil as to warrant the entire suppression of such a traffic by law. The prohibitionist says that such suppression of the traffic is justified upon the fact because any supposed benefit to the individual, even

if one granted it, is out of all proportion to the injury to other individuals and to the evil effect upon sociey. The anti-prohibitionist either I contends that the individual has the ! inherent right to drink intoxicants regardless of this question of the | social effect upon the community, or j Holds that prohibition is an ineffective remedy for an acknowledged j evil. Into these questions there is no i necessity that we should enter here, j though they are the most vexed | questions under discussion and determination in America at the pres- ! ent hour. The lesson with which !we are dealing here presents the matter of total abstinence. It is worth while to note that the prac* ice and inculcation of total abstinence from alcoholic liquor have not oy any means lost their value or warrant through the passing of a prohibitory law. Unfortunately, prohibitory laws i are not one hundred per cent perfect either in l-elation to liquor, | automobile speeding, or an hundred | and one other things that society has to suppress or regulate for its own welfare. While the effect of prohibition has been very largely to remove the liquor traffic out of the environment of those who do not wish to drink and who do not wish to have the nuisance of the traffic in the environment of their lives, it is probably true that many who want to drink can get hold of the stuff by going to dives or by patronizing the bootlegger. Law and law enforcement are undoubtedly helped today where men and women take the attitude of total abstinence as they did before prohibition came into effect. It is entirely wide of the mark to say, as some do, that prohibition has weakened the cause of total abstinence, because total abstinence is just as sound and valuable an attitude as ever before. What have been the effects of total abstinence? They are very well shown in the story of these Rechabites, and they have been demonstrated in every generation of history. The effect of total abstinence upon health is marked. Those who have not made the drinking of alcohol even in moderation a habit have never suffered from the lack of it, and those who have given it up have almost invariably laid stress upon their

THE INDIANAPOLIS TDIES

Fortune Will Be Spent First National Plans Most Expensive Year, First national pictures, INC., will spend more than $18,000,000 on motion picture productions for the year of 1929 according to an announcement made this week by that organization. This is declared to be the biggest and most expensive year’s program in the history of the company. The program set by the producing company involves thirty-five star pictures and features; and a number of special extra-length productions featuring an outstanding star, intended for road-showing, will be included in the long roster. In addition to the star pictures, there will be a number of special productions with all-star casts of players. The recent acquisition by First National Pictures, Inc., of the rights to the vitaphone process and trade mark means that the organization will be one of the leading producers of dialogue and sound films. The First National plant at Burbank, Cal., now has nine stages equipped for the filming of talking pictures and this number is being increased to twelve. The stars who will appear on the 1929 program are Colleen Moore, Corinne Griffith, Richard Barthelmess, Milton Sills, Billie Dove, Alice White, Dorothy Mackaill and Jack happier and healthier condition under total abstinertce. When one considers what the effect of the liquor habit has been in the life of humanity and the scourge of alcohol throughout the ages, secondary perhaps only to the scourges of war and slavery, it ought not to be a very serious sacrifice for any man or woman to take the attitude of having nothing whatever to do with intoxicants. Certainly the habit of total abstinence is safe, sane, and not only in the direction of the highest values but in opposition to what has always developed into a very great evil.

Word is had that the titles of | these pictures will feature the immensity of the pool, its sanitariness, location, availability and popularity with the citizens of Indianapolis, which will put the city in the public mind the world over. If for no other reason the pic--tures will be of much value as a warning against the dangerous habit of swimming in just any "old swimmin’ hole.”
