JULiI I£, . GREY’S BEST SELLER NOW IN TALKING FORM AT INDIANA

Lon Chaney Uses Five Different Talking Voices in •The Unholy Three’ Now on View at the Palace Theater for the Week. THE BORDER LEGION,” perhaps Zane Grey s best-known novel, has been made into an all-talking adventure-romance by Paramount end will show all week at the Indiana. Heading a paiticularly strong cast are Richard Arlen, who recently scored a hit In The Light of Western Stars’; Jack Holt, makirg a comeback in the kind of role that originally made him famous, and Fay Wray, the beautiful leading lady of Gary Cooper in "The Texan.” Two other important roles are played by Eugene Pallette and Stanlav Fields. On the stage this week Charlie Davis is presenting Pat Rooney, the

famous comedian, in person, in the Publix offering, “Campus Daze." In the screen attraction Jack Holt Is as the notorious leader of the Border Legion, a self-styled Robin Hood, and is said to be excellently cast. Richard Arlen is cast as the easygoing cowboy, who defies Holt and his gang because of his love for a beautiful girl. The leading feminine role is portrayed by Fay Wray. Eugene Pallette and Stanley Fields are seen in two character psrtfl. In “Campus Daze” Charlie Dr.vis and Pat Rooney are supported by Pat Rooney the Third, the Lovey Sisters, Cuby and Smith and the Fred Evans girls. Ed Resener is conducting the orchestra in an oveiture, “Spanish Melodies.” Dessa Byrd is heard at the organ and a Paramount sound news reel completes the bill. a a a CHANEY SPEAKS ON THE SC REEN Mystery, a love story strange as the grim plot that surrounds it, and Lon Chaney, speaking on the screen at last, and using five voices—even singing—in his debut on the talking screen—these are the magnets that will draw crowds to the Palace, where “The Unholy Three" starts today. The Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture. one of Chaney's greatest eariy successes on the silent screen, is a new and infinitely more powerful drama with speech. His use of five different voices, one of them the impersonation of an old woman, and two facial disguises. has started him doing, with his voice, what he always has done with his face. It would be hard indeed to venture a guess as to which of his voices is his natural one—just as, through his constant disguises, he never lets his fans see his face entirely devoid of makeup. Chaney plays a ventriloquist, involved in a sinister plot with two . ide show companions, a giant and a midget. As the sinister “Echo" he dominates one of the strangest plots fiction ever invented. Lila Lee plays the heroine, giving a powerfully dramatic perform “nee that runs the gamut of emotions, and Elliott Nugent gives a well balanced impersonation as her lover, the clerk. Harry Earles plays the nudget, and gets much comedy as well as many thrills out of his first talkie role, and Ivan I inow is a compelling figure as the giant "Hercules.”

John Miljan as the prosecutor, Crauford Kent as the defense attorney. and Clarence Burton as the ; detective “Ragan'’ all have in- j teresting roles. Jack Conway, in his direction of Chaney's first talkie, has reaped newlaurels to add to his triumphs in “While the City Sleeps.” Twelve Miles Out” and others of his directorial hits. Benny Rubin. Marion Harris, and the Brox Sisters in a singingdancing novelty. “Gems of M-G-M,” the Hearst Metrotone News, and a Krazy Kat Cartoon entitled, “Jazz Rhythm.” complete the bill. nan “GOLDEN DAWN” NOW AT APOLLO. "Golden Dawn,” Warner Brothers and Vitaphone’s latest Technicolor romance is the current attraction at the Apollo. The story of “Golden Dawn concerns the fate of a strange white girl found with the barbaric tribe of blacks in Africa and offered by them to their native god Mulungha as a bride. She is loved by an English sailor who battles almost single handed against the inertia of the tropics, political indifference, native fanaticism, the exigencies of war and the jealousy of a native slave driver to prove her white and to win the right to marry her. Walter Woolf. brought to Hollywood from the New York stage, where he was starred in numerous musical shows, sings the leading role with Vivienne Segal in the title and principal role. Miss Segal is also well-known to music lovers. Noah Beery is cast as the villainous “whip-man." Alice Gentle, famous soprano, has a leading singing role. Other members of the cast are Lupino Lane, Marion B\ -on. Lee Moran and a host of well-known players. "Golden Dawn" is photographed Tn full natural colors, catching much of the beauty and brilliance of the tropics that oen not be more than suggested ith black and white pictures, and making it one of the season's outstanding spectacles as well as the greatest musical treat yet brought to the screen. Short subjects including Vitaphone acts. Movietone News and Screen Oddities are included on the program. m a 9 ALICE WHITE TOPS CIRCLE CAST The flapper as a type in real life and on the screen is as dead as the fabled dedo. according to Alice White, who now is playing at the Circle in her newest First National picture. “Sweet Mama.” Alice offers her character in her new picture as an example of the type that has taken the flapper's place. She is the flapper grown up. given real sophistication instead of naive pretense. •’And there will be no more flappers for a while; it was one of the most short-lived and yet marked cycles that has appeared tn character development in the young folk.” said Miss White. “What killed the flapper? I suspect that books about herself and also books that her pretending nature led her to read, did it. She read books to become sophisticated, and as she became sophisticated she automatically ceased to be a flapper." “Sweet Mama” is said to be Mis* White's best talking film drama to date, and is anew sort of crook melodrama with delectable trlm-

mmgs. Opposite her is First National's “find” from the stage, young David Manners, who scored so heavily as the juvenile in “Journey's End.* Others in the cast are Kenneth Thompson, Rita Flynn and Lee Moran. Eddie Cline directed the picture, which was scenarized by the author, Earl Baldwin. Lester Huff is offering an interesting organ solo this week entitled ' Organs I Have Played.” The talking short subjects include the Paramount talkartoon, “Firebugs;" Herman Timberg in “I Came First” and “Desperate Sam.” A Paramount sound news reel completes the program. a a a “CAUGHT SHORT” OPEN AT OHIO Short,” the' comedy presentation now .at the Ohio theater, offers Marie Dressier and Polly Moran in an uproarious comedy of the late* lamented stock market crash. Other players in the picture are Anita Page, Charles Morton, Herbert Prior. T. Roy Barnes, Nanci Price and Edward Dillon. The picture concerns the success cf Miss Moran and Miss Dressier, Washington square. New York, landladies in the “bull market,” and the eventual capitulation of their stocks. Anita Page and young Morton furnish the juvenile love interest of the comedy. The costars, Marie Dressier and Polly Moran, carry on in this picture still farther the high reputation they already have attained as funmakers supreme, it is said. TJie supplementary program of all-dialogue short subjects is headed by a Laurel and Hardy comedy. “Below Zero.” Other fcatu~es are “People Born in July,” "The Gateway to India" and’ a talking news reel.

‘Little Coloner

The Little Colonel of “The Birth of a Nation,” Henry B. Walthall, appears in D. VV. Griffith’s “Abraham Lincoln” as a colonel on the staff of General Robert E. Lee, which role is portrayed by Hobart Bosworth. As the Confederate Colonel Ben Cameron in "The Birth of a Nation,” Walthall fell in love with Lillian Gish, was called upon by General Lee to lead a counterattack. was cleared of charges by Lincoln, avenged his sister's murder and finally married Lillian Gish. If the motion picture has any tradition that it is incarnate in the Little Colonel of “The Birth of a Nation.” BAN IS SLAPPED ON PETTING IN PARKS Law to Put Foot Down on Lovers Exhibiting Ardor. Danny Cupid's darts will be flung with greater caution in city parks in the future as the result of an order given out today by Major Herbert Fletcher, who sair reports reached him that Dan's hunting prowess had been overexhibited recently.

Chorus Girls Not What They Were

Chorus girls are not what they used to be! At least, not if the two famous bevies of beauties used in Radio Pictures’ all-talking comedy, “Half Shot at Sunrise,” are any criterion. With the famous comedians, Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, appear the Tiller Girls and the Pearl Eaton Girls, in brilliant dance numbers. The routine of the old days has passed. Every girl is a solo dancing artist in her own right, every girl is an accomplished acrobat, athlete, and toe dancer. According to Mary Read, director of the Tiller Girls, and Pearl Eaton, director of the famous Radio troupe, the routine dancing of the present day is equal to solo dancing of years ago. What one star did alone is now done by several girls, in perfect unison and precision. The Tiller Girls, known throughout the world, are graduates of the John Tiller school in Lancashire, England, an institution of forty years’ experience, and famous for its highly trained dancers. The most intricate toe dancing is ABC to them, while their group execution of difficult Russian acrobatic steps is breathtaking. Auditors of this latest RKO hit are assured something absolutely new and entertaining in the terpischorean art. The transition also has affected the
