Barry AHa in on the Stage

It has gotten to hr the usual thing to announce the coming or the return to vaudeville of \ arious motion picture celebrities. Wesley Barry, one tune freckle-faced youngster of the movies and now a, leading juvenile of the industry, is back in Vaudeville again. This time he has a humorous conceit in which he opens at White Plains the first half a next week.

At Granada

Monte Blue courts a quick lunch waitress to satisfy the mother of his pal who fears her son will marry the girl in The Greyhound Limited." a railroad melodrama showing Monday and Tuesday at the Granada. Edna Murphy is the girl and Grant Wither- is Monte's fireman on the flier. The happiness of a. poor home wrecked by sudden riches forms the theme of "The Younger Generation.” the screen version of Fannie Hurst's stage play. "It Is a Laugh/’ the Granada's feature for Wednesday. Thursday and Friday.

Favorites Will Be at Colonial Colman and Banky Have the Leads in ‘Two Lovers.’ W m-T a reputation bared large- * ’ ly rn romantic stories, told •nth his characteristic flair for i i.-ual brilliancy. Samuel Goldwyn adds still another element, mystery and adventure, in his latest and last i costarring vehicle for Ronald Colnian and Vilma Banky, ‘Two Lovers, which comes to the Colonial for the week starting Sunday. Lite complications of modern existence, financial and social and sentimental, are as a thimbleful of purified water when placed beside the illimitable ocean of intricacies which the supposedly simple life of three or four centuries ago presented. This is considerably evident in "Two Lovers." Vilma Banky and Ronald Colman, the screen's most famous lovers, are kept separated by every conceivable barrier and can not attain the consummation of ail unreservedly contented embrace until each one of these barriers has been painstakingly passed. Miss Banky. as the Flower of Spain, must first feel aversion for her eventual husband because she is in love with someone else; then because he is a Flemish spy sworn to oust her invading people from Ghent; then because she learns he is the murderer of her true lover; then because she has been forced to marry him; finally because he seemed to be persuading her to feel affection for him entirely against her will. A somewhat different stage show will be offered by the Colonial play- i ers for the week. One original feature of the show r is a travesty on the i old drama "Ten Nights in a Barroom."

Arliss Is Now a Real Movie Star

A highlight among Warner Brothers big Vitaphone pictures which will be released for the new’ season will be an all-talking version of "The Green Goddess,” starring George Arliss. It was completed this w'eek at the Warner Studio under the direction of Ai Green. “The Green Goddess,” by William Archer, is one of the major stage successes of recent, years, extravagantly praised by critics and patronized by millions who saw Mr. Arliss plav it through many seasons of presentation.

To Be in the Cast of ‘Kempy ’

Helen Way has been selected by Norman Green, director of the Sutherland Players, to play the role of Ruth Bence" in the presentation of "Kempv " by that organization on next Tuesday and Wednesday nights. July 2 and 3. at the Sutherland Presbyterian church, Twentyeighth and Bellefontaine streets. "Kcmpy” is the sixth production of the 1928-29 season of the players, who were organized four years ago by Norman Green and Virginia Brackett Green, who directs the costuming and staging of these performances.

Here Is Your Chance to Help

In the forthcoming Fox-Movietone production starring the world's most popular singer. John McCormack. the voice that has thrilled millions, will be heard from the screen singing ten numbers, two of them in foreign tongue.

The two stars prominent in “Two Lovers." opening at the Colonial Sunday, arc Vilma Banky and Ronald Colman.

: The Vitaphone version follows the j play script closely with the atidi- ! tional advantage of massive sets and spacious exteriors that are now j available through the wide range of j screen technique, although they ! were never possible on the stage.

regard for the choice of that tremendous following McCormack has i won with his voice, is indicated by the announcement that Mr. Sheehan desires an expression of opinion from McCormack devotees as to thc numbers he will sing in the produc- | tion. an expression which would indicate whether they would prefer | the great singer to sing old or new numbers, familiar songs, popular i numbers or the classics.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

The ‘Kid’ to Make a Big Leap Riverside Park Will be Scene of Daring Event. THE Patent Leather Kid will again pilot the big Riverside balloon into the sky Sunday afternoon for a scries of parachute leaps, and the announcement that the cver-popular aeronaut is to play the leading role in the weekly aerial spectacle at the fun resort is expected to bring out another throng of balloon fans, for the immaculately clad and smiling darederil has acquired a large following among the park visitors. The "Kid” is going to take a picture of the Riverside crowd Sunday afternoon as he soars aloft and plans to "shoot” the mass of upturned faces surrounding the balloon lot from a height of several hundred feet. Many aerial photographs have, of course, been made from planes, but. it is believed to be the first time on record that a hotair balloonist has tried the feat. If the picture can be made, it will be printed and several thousand copies distributed to the fans at a later ascension this season. The new skating rink at the park is enjoying an immense vogue among the roller devotees of the city and county and is filled every night with crowds who spin round the big floor to the strains of peppy music by the Riverside band or the rink organ. Local social organizations are booking the rink for parties, reservations now being on the books of Manager Parker for dates far into the. fall and winter. The archery courts also arc. prov - ing popuar with followers of the ancient, art of Robin Hood and his merry men, while the pony track, Japanese poker game, big fun castle, coaster rides, aerial swing, whip, mill chutes and other fun devices are crowded constantly with plea-sure-seekers.

On Broadway

Edwin Carewe, producer-director of Evangeline." starring Delores Del Rio. is in New York City for a business conference with Joseph M. Schcnck, head of United Artists. While in the East. Carewe will sec the important Broadway plays, discuss his new producing arrangement with United Artists and pass on a number of stories submitted for consideration as prospective Dolores Del Rio starring vehicles. Mr. Carewe was accompanied by John Le Roy Johnston, his persona! representative.

“Kibitzer ”

The amusing side of Wall Street, as exposed in a talking picture study of a character known to every one —the fifth hand in any four-hand-ed game—will be brought to the screen with Paramount's presentation. "Kibitzer,” the adaptation of the New- York stage success. The purchase of the Royale theater comedy by Jo Swerling and Edward G. Robinson was announced today by Jesse L. Lasky, first vicepresident of Paramount, in charge of production, who made it known that actual filming is to start the middle of June at the Hollywood studios. Harry Green, whose character delineations are known around the globe as a result of his "George Washington Cohen” act on the Orpheum circuit, as well as his legitimate theater performances and his success in such talking films as "Close Harmony” and "The Man I Love.” will play the title role. It is said that the part of “Kibitzer” was written originally for Green in 1924. but a European trip prevented his going through with it. Edward G. Robinson has played the role for several months on Broadway. Agnes Starts to Work Agnes Christine Johnston, wellknown novelist and adaptor, has been assigned by Carl Laemmle. Jr., to adopt "The Shannons of Broadway.” This New York stage success will leature Mr. and Mrs. James Gleason, who wrote it and appeared in it at the Martin Beck theater.

ROUNDING THEATERS

HAVE often been asked this summer if I believed that the two-a-day policy in vaudeville could come back to Indianapolis at. a profit. After going over the field and studying the history of two shows a day iere. I am convinced that it could not be, made to pay.

j That is my personal opinion and am airing it only because I have been asked that so oftgm since there is no show now in the city using the reserved seat idea. I have before me the current issue of "Variety.” and I find an intcri esting dispatch from Minneapolis. | where Keith’s is making a brave efj fort to re-establish two-a-day vaude- ; ville. The article from “Variety” i? as follows: Keith's 1s stilt "shooting the works" here in .its effort to e.cross tTO-a-dey i vaude at the Hennepin, i The failure of last week’s exceptional i show with such a headliper as Gilda Gray I lo attract paying business seemed like the hast straw for the policy. It perhaps I sounded the death knell for big-time vaudeville, here. I The strenuous and skillful efforts of t Claude Saunders and Frank Burke have j been riishearteningly unsuccessful. Six j weeks of names and first rate shows, with the house in the red weekly. I Even that the deficit shrank during the ! past two weeks is not regarded as a turn !of the tide. The belief prevails that this i upward trend of the past, fortnight was due to the strength of the headliners instead of indicating that the policy Is making any headway. Manager Frank Burke expresses the belief that the present names will serve to get the policy jstablished during the | dog days so that when fall and its weather | conducive to vaude attendance arrive, the | house will be set. for a rapid spurt upward. ! Then, he feels, the real benefits will be veaped. The big names undoubtedly are. j creating a lot of talk a.r.d keeping interest-, i higher in the policy than it- otherwise | would be. he points out. If necessary, he ! thinks, the same headliners can be brought, back without injury' to the box ; office. Under two-a-day the house operating nut is somewhat higher than under the ! grind policy. The orchestra receives a I higher scale and more ushers are ncccs- , sarc. Personally. I would welcome two shows a day of vaudeville in this j city. But the time is not right and j probably never will be. It n tt I am informed that Test Dalton's j ‘Adam's Apple” closed at the ; Princess in New York after two weeks. It was frightfully panned ;by some critics. Dalton is an In, dianapolis playwright. tt tt tt These theater managers surely j do have a tough time of it during the summer. Nelson Trowbridge.

More Records

Ted Lewis has just recorded for the Columbia Phonograph Company two of the songs which he will sing in his Warner Bros, vitaphone talking and singing picture, 'ls Everybody Happy?” The two numbers are "I'm the Medicine Man for the Blues” and “Wouldn't It Be Wonderfu?” Mr. Lewis sings the songs and is accompanied by his orchestra. M. Witmark & Sons have just published in sheet form anew song by Mr. Lewis entitled "Maybe, Who Knows?”

‘Simba’ Is Now Here for Week Famous Jungle Movio Will Attract Both Young and Old. SIMBA." the motion picture record made by Mr. and Mrs. MaVtin Johnson, the famous explorers. during the four years in the jungles of Africa, is at the Isis theater this week. It holds not one dull minute from the time the Johnsons load the outfit fo r their long trek into the jungle? up to the startling climax when half-naked natives, armed only with slender spears, surround and kill full grown lions. Marching across the screen come antelopes, giraffes, zebras, rhinos, hippopotamuses, herds of elephants, leapards—-all the denizens of the jungle, just as they are at home. And they arc photographed with a clarity and against such wildly beautiful backgrounds that the value of the film is wonderfully enhanced. Among the outstanding features of the picture are the charge of the infuriated rhino straight at Osa Johnson, who is forced to shoot him to save her own life; the stampede of a herd of elephants, seeking safety from a, jungle fire; the swarms of ugly crocodilics infesting the rivers that the party was forced to cross; the gorgeous shots of running giraffes. of speeding antelopes and zebras; perfectly marvelous flashlight photos of lions and leopards; and above all. the scene which shows fourteen lions, playing in a grassy glade like a lot, of big cats.
