ELLIOTT NUGENT IS A MOVIE-TALKER Former Member of Stuart Walker Company Here Brings His Natural Charm and Wit to the Talking Screen. BY WALTER D. lIICKMAN THERE are some actors on the stage who just must use their voice to get acfloss and that is a reason that some stars stayed away from the silent screen, only to go into the talking-movie racket when sound came. Such an actor is Elliott Nugent, remembered here for his successful association with the Stuart Walker company as well as on numerous visits here when he appeared in his own plays like “Kempy.” I am personally acquainted with Nugent, having talked to him many times here and also have journeyed to other cities to see some of his shows before they landed on Broadway.
One of Nugent’s greatest assets besides his fine pointed wit is his
talking voice. His shadow is not interesting because it has no voice. So when the talkers arrived at that point where an actor could risk his voice, Elliott went on the talking screen. This week we have him making his debut with Robert Montgomery, another legitimate actor, in “So This Is Col-
JM m mm' * m
Elliott Nugent
lege.” Now before I go any further, let me state that the director who made this picture had the good sense to call in real college guys to help him make this picture. It seems to me the scenes in the frat house and on the campus and the general action of the student body is just as realistic collegiate as any one could desire. In other words, the director has not been a fool and fallen for that idea that a college party has to look like a Broadway night club. And so you have Nugent, Montgomery, Sally Starr and the others acting like real to goodness college people instead of wise and worn out people of the world. And it is a relief to find the genuine college spirit and actions in at least one movie dealing with college life. Nugent and Montgomery are room nlbtes as well as team mates on the college football team. They are members of the same frat. They have always tried to date the same “ ! §kirt” and have had lot of fun. But one girl, played by Miss Starr, nearly wrecks their friendship as well as the football team and it is not until the two men realize that the gal was just stringing both of them and that another guy was the apple of her eye that they buried the hatchet, went out and fought a great footbafl game and,then started all over again dating up another girl. And so the merry battle of friendship goes on. Nugent brings a natural charm to the role of a real college guy. Nugent has never forgot his college days and he knows how to capture the spirit. His talking voice is splendid. Montgomery is more of the elegant city type and his work is satisfying, good contrast to Nugent. Miss Starr is a newcomer to the screen. She has the baby innocent eyes and a way with her that would make a sap of any guy. The football scepes have been splendidly photographed. “So This Is College,” is one of those movies that will make you happy and you will be thankful that the talking movies have come to stay. Oh, yes, the college orchestra and Cliff are there with numerous melodies that you will want to whistle. Now* at Loew’s Palace. • 808 SENATOR MURPHY TALKS ON PROHIBITION Senator Murphy appearing at the Indiana this week in the Publix stage show “Vacation Days,” says
“Since prohibition we never see any drunks on the street, they all get too drunk in the house to reach the street.” He also says that the papers ran a story about a congressman getting caught with a bottle of booze. “That is not news,” he adds, “but if two dry politicians were caught without a

bottle of booze on them, then that would be news.” Senator Murphy as a political humorist is right there, and good for many laughs. You will like him. Gene, Ford and Glenn of radio fame, also on/this bill, stopped the show when I was there. Their songs and comic nut stuff goes just as big over the footlights as over the •radio. Good entertainment. As we all know, this is Bobby Jackson’s lasi week at the Indiana. He sings a song of farewell, and dances as never before. Good work, Bobby. ‘‘Vacations Days” might be called a mineature revue. Very good. The all talking picture “Woman Trap” with Hal Skelly and Evelyn Brent another crook picture, rises above the average picture of this type, and makes you forget you have seen so many of them of late on the screen. Hal Skelly as Dan Malone, a de-

Coughs from colds may lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. Os all known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for coughs from colds a#id bronchial irritations. Creomulsion contains, in addition ;o creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the inflamed membranes and stop the irritation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the grow th of the germs.

tective, who trys to protect his kid brother Ray, played by Chester Morris, does some fine work, as does Miss Brent, who plays Kitty Evans, who also has a brother of the underworld. The two kid brothers Dan and Eddie, work together hauling booze. Dan thinks he has croaked a cop and leaves tqwn. While he is gone Eddie is strung up by the neck for being in a car from which a bomb is thrown that kills a man. Kitty resolved that Dan could have helped him, later sets a trap to catch Ray, so as to get even. The story is full of suspense, and thrills, one that you will not forget very st>on. Chester Morris whom we first saw in “Alibi” certainly knows how to play the role of a crook and still keep your sympathy. Am sure you would enjoy this one. Good cast and corking good story. This week at the Indiana until Friday. (By Connell Turpin.) an a “BROADWAY” IS *" A TALKING-MOVIE “Broadway” on the stage was a mighty valuable piece of property., The director made sure that the dialogue and the story was there along with lot of extra music, night club scenes and the like. The director was sure of that. The picture as a picture is done on
a lavish scale but 'the recording is bad. In other words the recording of the voices is spotty. Glenn Tryon as the night club hoofer records well and he walks away with the show but some of the recording of the musical numbers in the floor show of the night club is mighty dim, very weak. It is too bad that faul-

If it were not for this defect in recording, “Broadway” would be from a mechanical standpoint, ’one of the genuine pleasures of the season.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
York ar.d a night club owner who is in the same racket. And so there is death and many gun battles. The dramatic work and most of the recording of the spoken words of the tfiief characters have been splendidly put over. It seems to me that Glenn Tryon suddenly grew up over night and became'a real actor. His work as the hoofer in the night club so far stands out as his best work. The boy can sing and he can hoof. He tan make love to his partner, abuse, her and make life miserable for her —all done perfectly and in character. They will all be talking about Tryon this week. Myrna Kennedy is Try on's partner and sweetie, but she is rather anxious to frolic about with the rich guy (who is a villain, of course) who runs the .night club. She learns her lesson and the rich guy gets his dose of lead from a woman. This death scene is handled with a melodramatic bang. Evelyn Brent as Pearl rather missed some of the human heart interest in the character of Pearl. She was too consistently hardboiled even for a rum gangster to love her. Most directors think that the night club scenes must be put on wiith the Ziegfeld touch of elegance. They may be right, but I think that it can be overdone, although it seems to fit into the movie version of “Broadway.” In the stage version you were concerned with scenes behind the door leading into the cabaret room. In the movie version you have plenty of both. “Broadway,” even with its faulty recording or whatever it is, will please 99 per cent of those who liked the stage version. Now at the Circle. The*Apollo is holding over “Gold Diggers of Broadway” foi* a second week. It was fully reviewed last week in this department.

UP FROM THE GRIND ORGAN
Mechanical music is a modern convenience, not an artistic triumph. When that truth is appreciated the menacing cloud, now hanging over American music, will disappear. Many a fine talking machine enters a home as an honored guest to be played and played for a week or a month, then to be left in si/lence except for special moods and occasions. The family’s habits of attending places of public amusement to hear Real Music are not changed—or at least are not reduced. Rather, thp evidence seems to be that the phonograph in the home serves the laudable purpose of exciting greater interest in the music of theatre and concert hall. But now comes the promoter of “sound” pictures who imagines that the same

WALKER HEAVY FAVORITE TO WIN ELECTION Norman Thomas, Socialist, Is Conceded Good Choice to Finish Second. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—New York’s mayoralty candidates made their final bid for votes today on the first anniversary of the fatal shooting of Arnold Rothstein, gambler, whose unsolved death has been one of the issues of the present campaign. The four major candidates —James J. Walker, Democrat incumbent; Fiorella H. La Guardia, RepublicanFusion; Norman Thomas, Socialist, and Richard E. Enright, Square Deal—will make the customary election eve speaking tour tonight of the strategic voting centers of the city. Taking advantage of the anniversary of the Rothstein shooting, antiTammany candidates continued to hurl verbal bombshells at the administration for failing to solve the murder. La Guardia and Enright both allege that the Walker regime is hin- j dering the investigation into the murder because it was affiliated in some way with the gambler. It was a year ago tonight that Rothstein who, besides being the na- | tion’s greatest gambler, was one of its master criminals, was shot as he sat at a card table in the Park Central hotel. Three days later he I died without, according to the poi lice, revealing the identity of his assailant. As the final hours of the campaign faded away. Increasing support for the Socialist candidate became apparent. While even the most hopeful conceded him only the barest chance for election, some persons believed he might run second to Walker, who is expected to carry the city by a large majority. Betting favors the Democratic candidate at long odds, with La Guardia i running second and Thomas third.
Mechanical Music, available at home for nothing, will thrill theatre patrons just because it is “synchronized with a motion picture.” Is that a compliment to the intelligence of the theatregoer? * The motion picture theatre, in the past, has served the cause of good music wonderfully well by embellishing its program with the human touch of the orchestra and organ. Now, with strange perversity, this same institution aims a devastating blow at cultural progress by introducing a substitute, which, however perfect it may become, can never escape the embarrassment of its blood relationship to the grind organ. This threatened adulteration of entertainment fare can be prevented by the aroused opposition of music lovers, f'
