HELEN KANE GOES HER MANY ‘BOOPA’ WAYS AT INDIANA
There Is Supposed to Be Grand Fun Furnished by Marie Dressier in ‘Let Us Be Gay’ at the Palace; ‘The Cuckoos’ Arrive in the City. HELEN KANE Is “boop-boopa-dooping” and cooing and cuddling in person at the Indiana today. Miss Kane attained distinction through her work in hei three Paramount pictures. “Nothing But the Truth,” with Richard Dix; “Pointed Heels,” with Skeets Gallagher, and “Sweetie,” with Nancy Carroll and Jack Oakle. Miss Kane's appearance will be during the Charlie Davis stage offering, “Blue Mill,” which includes a cast of Publix entertainers. The feature attraction on the talking screen is “Holiday.” This film version of Philip Barry's successful stage play is said to be in every sense of the teTn a dialogue production de luxe
A tensely emotional drama of high society and vast wealth interpreted by stage and screen players of exceptional prominence and produced on a highly pretentious scale, this picture is said to be at once impressive, charming, massive and thrilling. The picture is also said to owe much of its magnetic quality to the portrayals of the featured players in the cast. In the congenial roles are Ann Harding, Mary Astor, Edward Everett Hcrton, Robert Ames and Hedda Hopper. In the cast of “Blue Mill” on the stage, are such well-known stage artists as Ray Bolger, the prince of comedians; the Dennis sisters, the harmony trio; Emilie and Romaine, the flying danceis; Helen McFarland, the dancing xylophonist, and the Fred Evans tulip girls, the dancing blossoms. Dessa Byrd will be heard at the organ and a Paramount sound news reel will complete the bill, a a a SHEARER OPENS TODAY AT PALACE “Let Us Be Gay.” with Norma Shearer in the starring role, will be the attraction at the Palace starting Saturday. The picture was adapted from the New York stage success by Rachel Crotliers, which ran for ten months at the Little theater with Francine Larrimore in the role portrayed on the screen by Miss Shearer. Robert Z. Leonard, who produced the star's last success, “The Divorcee,” directed the current production and gathered together an unusually important supporting cast which includes Rod La Rosque in the leading masculine role, Marie Dressier, Gilbert Emery, Hedda Hopper, Raymond Hackett, Sally Eilers and Tyrrell Davis. The story is a tale of a woman who loses her husband's affection because she neglects her appearance in an over-efficient absorbence in household duties. A few years in Paris, however, teaches her a number of things she had never thought of before, and she returns in time to prevent her ex-husband from marrying a charming but entirely unsophisticated debutante. The scenes are laid in attractive society settings and include vistas of country gardens, wooded nooks and luxurious interiors. Miss Shearer is seen in a wide variety of smart costumes and reveals a number of new coiffures. “Let Us Be Gay” is surrounded by a rrogram of short subjects—a Colort vne subject which is a sing-ing-dancing revue made up of a cast of well-known Metro stars, a Krazy Kat cartoon. “Slow Beau,” Screen Snapshots with quite a few intimate views of the stars while on the lot. and that talking newspaper, Hearst Metrotone News. a a a DRAMA MOVIE NOW AT APOLLO Seldom since the advent of talking pictures has there been screened a picture with as fast moving drama as “Women Everywhere.” Fox Movietone singing and speaking romance of Morocco and the Foreign Legion, directed by Alexander Korda, and featuring J. Harold Murray and Fifi Dorsay, which is the current attraction at the Apollo. The story, written by George Grossman and Zolton Korda, with dialogue by Harlan Thompson and Lajos Biro, deals with the adventures of Murray in the role of Charles Jackson, rough and ready captain of a Yan. ee tramp steamer engaged in the rum trade, who accepts a cargo of arms and ammunition for delivery to rebellious natives of Morocco. Murray is captured by the French and saved from death by Miss Dorsay, who plays the part of an entertainer in a picturesque Moroccan case frequented by legionnaires, sailors and the like. He is forced to join the Foreign Legion, saves his superior’s life in a desert reconnaisance and returns, wounded, to claim Dorsay's hand in marriage after still further exciting adventures. Throughout the picture there are many stirring songs, the work of William Kernell, noted composer. Murray, e former Broadway musical comedy star, and Miss Dorsay are supported by what amounts almost to an “all-star’* cast. Among the other players are such famous celebrities as George Grossmith, dean of the English stage; Clyde Cooke, celebrated comedian; Rose Dione and Ralph Kellard. Short subjects including Vitaphone acts. Fox Movietone News and Screen Oddities are included on the program. a a a COMEDY FUN ON VIEW HERE Said to be filled with nonsense, “The Cuckoos” radio picture is now at the Circle. The romance in the picture is carried by June Clude and Hugh Trevor. Wheeler and Woolsey are capably aided by Dorothy Lee and Jobyne Howland. Ivan Lebedeff and Mitchell Lewis are the “bad men” and Marguenta Padula lends her voice to a number of songs. The program of short subjects this week includes “The Tide Rises,” a scenic offering, and “A Chinatown Fantasy,” a novelty. A Paramount sound news reel will complete the program. a a a BUDDY ROGERS ON BILL AT OHIO “Safety In Numbers.” with Buddy Rogers, is now playing at the Ohio. In “Safety in Numbers,” Rogers, a young heir to millions. Is .sent to New York by his worldly uncle. The purpose of the trip is to acquaint the son-to-be millionaire with the pitfalls and wicked w ays of the big city. And to make sure that Buddy will be taken care of properly, the thoughtful uncle, wt' believes there Is safety in numbers,
signs three Follies girls to oversee Buddy’s education. Naturally enough, the educational processes that ensue are said tc be riotously funny. The girls in the cast are Josephine Dunn, Carol Lombard, Kathryn Crawford, Geneva Mitchell and Virginia Bruce. The supporting features on the program this week is the African adventure film, “Up the Congo.”
Princess Featured at Lyric Zulieka Will Answer All Questions Put to Her Next Week. “PRINCESS ZULIEKA,” psychic, X heads the program of stage and screen attractions which are to be seen on the Lyric stage and screen for the week starting today. It is often difficult to describe in modem language terms such an act as that of “Princess Zulieka” who appears In “Crysomancy” a mental offering said to be quite bewildering as well as entertaining. Princess Zulieka carries a pretentious stage setting in which she is seated in the center of the stage in full view of the audience, a large crystal globe reposing before her. Persons in the audience are invited to mentally ask questions, or prepare their questions at home and bring them with them. These questions can be written on paper end retained at all times in the possession of the writers, as at no time does Princess Zulieka touch or see their contents, so it has been reported. “King D,” famous Hollywood police dog star who has supported many of the popular screen players in productions made at Universal City, is another stellar attraction of the stage program. He is scheduled to perform many difficult tricks and obey human commands. Harry Kessler .and company of musical comedy artists, including Muriel and Fisher, offer as their part of the stage show “A Bachelor’s Romance,” a story play set to music, song and dance. Leo Prince is the fourth and concluding feature of the bill, offering a program of snappy accordion music, both popular and classical. A story filled with heart beats and
Sunday School Lesson
The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for July 21. Woman's Influence in Community and National Affairs. Judges 4:1-10. BY WM. E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of The Congregationalist WE are apt to think of woman's active participation in public affairs as of relatively late date, coming to its climax only during the last few years. Perhaps, however, few things are more remarkable in history than the way in which, despite the general relegation of women to a place inferior to man, women have, none the less, achieved conspicuous leadership and rendered profound service. Here is a crisis in the affairs of Israel, in a time of unsettlement, when Israel was surely in need 'l leadership, it is interesting to' find the chief leadership intrusted to a woman. Deborah, we note, was also a married woman. Whatever her personal or home obligations may have been, they had become enlarged by the strength and richness of her character, for she was not only a leader in the civil life—a judge of Israel, but she was a prophetess. It was her prophetic vision and messages that had no doubt given her pre-eminence in the Ration. It is rather a stately picture that we have of her dwelling under the palm tree that had become associated with her name—a notable tree in the hill country of Ephraim, whither the children of Israel came to her for judgment. The influence of good women has never been greater than when it has been exercised upon met and Deborah's power seemed to lie largely in her capacity to inspire and guide others. She called Barak and gave him a military commission to 30 to Mt. Tabor and take with him 10,000 men to fight Sisera, a captain of Jabin's army, who had 900 chariots of iron, and who for twenty years had ''mightily oppressed the children of Israel. Barak was not altogether ready for his task. He evidently feared,, the greatness of the power which Deborah was urging him to fight; but he had profound faith in Deborah, so much so that he declined to go without her; but he agreed to go if Deborah would accompany him. Deborah did not depend merely upon womanly influence, she was a woman of decisive action. She announced her readiness to go with Barak, though she also rebuked his lack of manfulness by reminding him that he should have no honor out of the encounter, as Sisera would fall through the hand of *\ woman. The upshot of the whole matter need not be fully dwelt upon. Deborah's prediction fell true, and Sisera succumbed to assassination at the hand of Jael, whose vigor and determination rather than her womanliness seemed manifest in the driving of a nail into Sisera’s skull. It must be remembered that the whole period was one of unsettlement when the life of Israel was in some measure disorganized. and there was a lack of that patient aaligious enthusiasm characteristics of the people in their

a cast composed of artists, is the way “Double Cross-Roads,” the all talking feature picture on this bill has been described. Robert Ames, Lila Lee and Montagu Love are the three most prominent members of the all-star cast. The story which was taken from William Lipman’s widely read novel ’’Yonder Grow the Daisies,” deals with the emotional relationship of a boy and girl with their exalting love set against menacing influences that threaten to draw them back into an atmosphere of criminal action.
highest experiences. It is against this background of a people lacking faith and courage and weak under oppression that Deborah's own faith and power of action stand out. It was probably not the first time in history that woman’s consecration to a great task had inspired new hope and action in those round about her, nor was it to be the last. One thinks of Deborah as a sort of matronly Joan of with zeal and spirit, conscious of a voice leading her forward and giving her strength. As Moses stands as the great type of liberator and lawgiver, so Deborah has captured the human imagination as the striking figure of woman :y leadership and judgment. It is a noteworthy point that her womanliness seems to stand out rather strongly in the narrative. We are not told a great deal concerning her, and we can fill in the picture only largely through our imagination, but there is nohing in the portrayal that suggests anything but womanly virtues deeply consecrated to the service of her people. It is now over a hundred years since Mary Wollstonecraft wrote a book in vindication of the rights of woman, around the doctrine that there is no sex in souls. Whatever the truth about that there is certainly little evidence of sexual discrimination in God's providential use and guidance of His creatures. A consecrated woman is as capable of being used fqr high ends and purposes as is a consecrated man. Happy the age that finds a Deborah when a Moses is lacking!

.“Lottery Bride” Is Completed Hammerstein Announces His First Film Spectacle. “qpHE LOTTERY BRIDE.” the ■X first film production of Arthur Hammerstein, who gave “Rose Marie.” “Sweet Adeline,” “Katinka” and other spectacular musical dramas to the stage, just has been completed in Hollywood for United Artists. Rudolf Friml, composer of the music sung in “The Vagabond King,” “The Three Musketeers,” “Rose Marie” and a dozen other hit shows that New York, Chicago, London and other key cities have praised, went to Hollywood especially to compose the songs in ‘“The Lottery Bride.” It represents his first direct composition for the screen, and it is to the credit of Arthur Hammerstein, son of that Oscar who did so much for music, that motion picture audiences first receive the new Friml music. The principal new Friml songs, sung by Jeanette MacDonald, who is featured, or by Robert Chisholm, John Garrick and others in “The Lottery Bride,” are “I’ll Follow the Trail,” “Jubla,” “Brother Love,” “Nobody’s Girl,” “You’re an Angel” and “My Northern Light." Lyrics are by J. Keirn Brennan. Hammerstein Talks Hamerstcln, upon his return to his New York stage activities (which he is scheduled to forsake In a year for Hollywood), emphasized that Herbert Stothart has written a definite story, created half a dozen dramatic situations in the plot of the new film, and that even the music is subordinated to the plot movement, the songs having been composed sc as to achieve maximum effect on the emotions when once a peak of drama has been reached. In other words, he describes the music as auxiliary. Hammerstein wishes it understood that "The Lottery Bride” is not a revue and not a musical comedy, but a story with songs. Jeanette MacDonald, following ner work in “The Love Parade” and “The Vagabond King,” has opportunity for acting in “The Lottery Bride” that was not afforded her in the previous films, Mr Hammerstein says. Paul L. Stein, the Viennesse director, who turned out Lillian Gish's “One Romantic Night,” and Constance Bennett’s “This Thing Called Love,” directed “The Lottery Bride” and he is authority for the statement that Miss MacDonald is an excellent emotional actress; Mr. Stein says there has been too much concentration on her singing voice hitherto and that this has blinded many people to her qualities as an actress.
Funmaker Present Joe E. Brown, principal of “Hold Everything,” “Song of the West” and other recent films, adds his whimsical grin to the of the occasion. He is aided by Zasu Pitts, the wistful one. From the cast of Florenz Ziegfeld’s “Show Girl” and from the cast of his own “Sweet Adeline” Mr. Hammerstein brought to Hollywood Joseph Macaulay and Robert Chisholm, respectively. He is also responsible for the singing role given to John Garrick, the young hero of “The Sky Hawk” and other pictures. Herbert Stothart, who wrote the original story, will be remembered as composer of the music for Ramon Navarro’s “Devil-May-Care.” William Cameron Menzies designed the settings for “The Lottery Bride,” . and the entire production comes from the workshops in Hollywood of Joseph M. Schenck, Prewoent of United Artists. No Practice Is Needed Paul Porcassi, who plays the orchestra conductor in Grace Moore’s first talking picture at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios, won’t have to practice his new role with the Metropolitan Opera star. Porcassi was an opera singer, then became a conductor, and of late has won fame as a composer, besides being a noted stage and screen actor.
