PAUL WHITEMAN’S MOVIE IS NOW ON VIEW AT CIRCLE

Marie Dressier and Polly Moran Frolic and Fight in Their First Big Feature, ‘Caught Short’ —Apollo Holds Over Farrell-Gaynor Film Second Week. THE picture of a thousand wonders is said to describe the beauty and immenseness of “King of Jazz'’ the Paul Whiteman special *hlch r now playing at the Circle theater. The picture was photographed entirely in technicolor. It brings to the talking screen the entire Whiteman band who not only supply the musical background for the picture, but also offer many specialty numbers. Among which are “The Rhapsody in Blue" spectacle, individual offerings and the famous Rhythm boys. Huge revolving stages were used in the production to carry out the effects conreivcd by John Murray Anderson who was brought to Hollywood especially to direct the picture.

Perhaps the most beautiful set- , ting is the “Monterey" number in ; which John B"!ca, the popular singer is featured with Jeanette Loss opposite him, singing the new song hit “It Happened in Monterey.” The setting is old Mexico, with beautiful j photography in Technicolor, and the gay costumes of the caballeros %nd senoritas makes a perfect rom~ntic idyll, it is said. The White man band is supported by an array of stage and screen stars including Laura La Plante. Glenn Tryon, Jeanette Loss, the Russel Markrrt dancers, Grace Hr yes, Billy Kent, A1 Norman, the Si'ters G, Stanley Smith. Frank Lrilie. Jeanie Lang, the Brox Sisters, the Paul Whiteman Rythm Boys, Nell/YDay and the Tommy Atkins Sextette and innumerable others. On the same program are two alltalking Vitaphone sketches, “Sound Effects,” and “Money, Money. Money.” A Paramount sound news reel will complete the program. tt it a DRESSLER AND MORAN TOP TALACE FEATURE The amusing side of the recent stock market crash will be depicted in “Caught Short,” a Metro-Gold-wyn-Mayer all-talking comedy featuring Marie Dressier and Polly Moran which will be shown at the Palace, starting teday. The story, suggested by Eddie Cantor’s book, was written by Willard Mack. The supporting cast includes Anita Page, Charles Morten, T. Roy Barnes, Gwen Lee, Herbert Prior. Edward Dillon, Greta Grandstedt, Lee Kohlmar and Alice Moe. Charles F. Riesner directed. Information is that the demand for further co-starring pictures for Miss Dressier and Miss Moran came as a result of their success as a laugh-getting team in such past productions as “The Callahans and the Murphys” and “Bringing Up Father.” In “Caught Short,” they will be seen as landladies with competing boarding houses across the street from each other, whose dabbling in tha stock market results in their sudden rise from comparative poverty to financial independence and then oack again by way of the crash. Love interest is furnished by the romance between Morton and Miss Page as the respective son and daughter of the comedy pair. Exclusive of the hilarity furnished by the Misses Dressier and Moran in their nouveau-riches circumstances. “Caught Short,” is said to be distinguished by expert characterizations on the part of Barnes, Prior and Dillon in the role of boarders. The settings of the picture are reported to be a relief from the excessively modernistic interiors seen in recent productions, the scenes of “Caught Short” being laid chiefly in the Washington Square “Village” district of New York City. The boarding house atmosphere will be further carried out in scenes laid in tenements, meat markets, old clothes emporiums, pawn shops and similar localities of the class of humanity represented in the picture. It is only when the stockdabbling landladies come “into their own” that the scene shifts from the lower class districts to a luxurious hotel in Atlantic City and more elegant quarters. Musical touches of the picture include a travesty called “I’m Spanish Now," written by Dave Snell and Ray Egan, and sung by Miss Dressier in a party sequence, and “Somebody,” written by Roy Turk and Fred Ahlert which Charles Morton sings. B B B APOLLO HOLDS OVER BIG MOVIE Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell, the audible screen’s most popular sweethearts, who have been playing to capacity auidences during the* past week, will continue their engagement at the Apollo theater for seven additional days, starting today. “High Society Blues,” their costarring vehicle is a sweet musical comedy romance that pictures Janet just as sweet as ever, and Charles is seen as the same gay lover as in former productions. Miss Gaynor is cast as the daughter of the wealthy Devine’s, eastern society leaders and controllers of a huge chain-store enterprise. Charles has the role as son of Pa Granger, wholesale grocer of a small lowa village. The Devines purchase the Granger business which results in* the latter family becoming suddenly rich. After the sudden acquisition of wealth.. Pa Granger takes his family east and takes residence next to that of the Devines in the secluded section of Westchester county, New York. Because of the vast difference in social position, the neighborly acts of the Grangers are met with rebuffs from the Devines, which result in a bitter quarrel. While the heads of the two families are carrying on their bitter

feud, Janet and Charles become very good friends. Friendship blossoms into a beautiful romance, which is a means of reconciliation for the quarreling factions. Many new and novel song numbers arq sung by Janet and Charles, the most popular being "I’m In the Market for You,” “Eleanor,” "Just Like a Story Book” and “High Society Blues.” The supporting cast includes William Collier Sr., Hedda Hopper, Joyce Compton, Lucien Littlefield and Louise Fazenda.

The leading roles in this picture have been intrusted to three luminaries of the New York legitimate stage, Claudette Colbert, Charles Ruggles and Norman Foster. On the stage this week is the Publix presentation “Top o’ the World” and features Bert Gordon, popular comedian assisted by Vera Kingston. “Yeung Man of Manhattan” is a fast moving, poignant, often humorous story of modern marriage.

They marry and borrow money to furnish their New York apartment. And they are joyously happy, each continuing with his own work. Toby, like most newspaper men, planning a novel but never finding the time to work on it, while it is really Ann’s constant writings that pay the buis. Crixrles Ruggies is seen as Shcrty, a pal of Toby. Ginger Rogers is also in the cast. She has the role of Puff Randolph, a gay young thing of the smart set, out for, a good time.

B B B MOVIE REVUE OPENS AT OHIO “Paramount On Parade” which is now playing at the Ohio theater, is called the big party of the stars and includes all the Paramount stars and feature players.

It will be presented as the feature of the Sunday eve?ing service at 7 o’clock, climaxiirj the day’s celebration of the actual nineteen hundredth birthday cf the Christian church. “Pentecost,” which is being directed and produced by Norman Green, portrays in three dramatic scenes the founding of the church. In the opening scene, which is laid in an upper room, the twelve apostles are found discussing their apostolic experiences and faith, as well as Mary, mother of Jesus, and Mary Magdalene, when a hush falls over the room and the spirit of Jesus comes to them. The second scene is enacted before the porch of the temple and includes the characters of Mary Magdalene and the wives of the rich merchants whom Jesus had sent from the temple, of Nicodemus and Barnabas, and a stirring scene in which Peter speaks to the assembling throng of people and declares Jesus to them as the Lord and Christ.

Da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” has been reproduced by the scenic committee, and the beautiful story of the breaking of bread and the drinking of wine comprises the final scene. Great care has been taken by the Rev. Pfleiderer, author of the drama, “Pentecost,” as well as by Mr. Green, its director, to portray the founding of the church in keeping with its biblical history. The lines have been beautifully written and the dramatic sequences have been carefully made. Virginia Brackett Green" has designed and executed the costumes with historic accuracy. Fred Eastman, professor of religious literature and drama at Chicago university, termed the play “An excellent idea about the foundling of the church,” when the original manuscript was submitted to him for his opinion and suggestions.
