WARNER BROTHERS READY FOR THEIR SILVER JUBILEE

Anniversary Will Last Throughout August and Many of the Best Known Movie Stars Will Appear in New Comedy and Dramatic Releases* TWENTY -FIVE years ago a group of young men filled with ambition and a knowledge of the motion picture business as it then existed, opened an exchange in Pittsburgh for the distribution of pictures to exhibitors. They proposed to be the liaison between the producers and the exhibitor. The Warner Bros, comprised the members of this ambitious group, and in celebration of their quarter century in the film industry August is to be heralded wherever motion pictures are shown, which means throughout the entire world, as Warner Bros.’ silver jubilee month.

Preparations have been under way for months to make the jubilee celebration period one of the most outstanding events known to the motion picture world. To bring about this result not only have the Warners called into action all the resources at their command, including First National pictures, but others, in and out of the screen industry, have voluntarily come to the front to lend their aid so that the silver jubilee might be worthy of going down into history as illustrating the growth and development of screen entertainment. In this way the jubilee celebration should possess values of Its own which should appeal to the public. Movie History In the twenty-five years that Harry M., J. L. and Major Albert Warner have been in the motion picture industry they have seen the business of producing screen entertainment grow from almost nothing but a weak promise into one of the largest industries in the world. They have eeen many revolutions take place in the industry and they, themselves, have been responsible for nearly all of them—at least for every one of any moment. They were the first to bring order 1 cut of chaos by opening an exchange i as the intermediary between producer and exhibitor; first in holding that the public, used only to one and two-reel pictures, would accept five and six-reel pictures and first to see in successful novels-the best sellers of their day—material to be transferred to the screen. Great as were these innovations, however, the greatest was to come in 1926 when tho Warner Brothers introduced the first successful Vitaphone pictures on the audible screen, creating so big a revolution in the industry that all the producers had to scrap their old equipment and begin afresh with anew in order tljat they might in business. To have done all this is assuredly j enough honor for any firm, but the | youthful Warners showed that they j were not through with their inno- j vations by being the first to produce pictures in technicolor. During the opening week of the i Jubilee there will be an added reason for celebration inasmuch as on j Aug. 5 occurs the fourth anniversary j of the birth of talking pictures, j which took place at the Warner j theater in New York.

Many New Releases To insure the success of the Silver Jubilee month Warner Brothers and First National will release twelve of their most impressive productions for presentation. These releases embrace the most prominent stars and featured players in both organizations. The list of Warner Brothers’ releases include: “Sweet Kitty Bellairs” adapted from the Belasco steer success with Claudia Dell in the title role. Alfred E. Green directed the picture. "The Matrimonial Bed.” a rollicking farce with a cast headed by Lilyan Tashman. Florence Eldridee. James Glee son and Beryl Mercer and directed by Michael Curtie. • Recaptured Love," which treats of a gold-digging wife in a witty comedy that has as its principals Belle Bennett. John Hallldav and Dorothy Burgess. John Adolfl directed. “Three Faces East.” the super mystery play in which Constance Bennett and Eric Von Stroheim have the leads. "Viennese Nights.” a glorious picture of the night life of Austria’s old capital by Sigmund Romberg and Oscar Hammerstein. second, which is one of Warner Bros, de luxe offerings for the season, and "Dancing Sweeties.” based on the story “Three Flights Up." in which Sue Carol and Grant Withers are featured. First National Picture First National Pictures. Inc., leads off its unusual array of entertainment for the Silver Jubilee month with Richard Barthelmess’ newest starring vehicle, “The Dawn Patrol," which deals with the British Royal Flying Corp. An all-star cast surrounds Barthelmess. "Road to Paradise" not only makes a bid for ponularitv because it contains all of the powerful elements of crook melodrama. but because it co-stars those young lover* of the screen. Loretta Young and Grant Withers. “Numbered Men” has the distinction of being the first story of a orison outbreak ever recorded in the celluloid. Crookdom Is well represented bv a fine cast of players. including Conrad Nagel. Ralph Ince and Raymond Hackett. "Bright Lights.” a drama, contains stark realism and all of the fascination of the latest murder mystery. The cast includes Noah Beerv. Frank McHugh. Daphne Poilard and Tom Dugan. • One Night at Busie’s” shows an utterly different seamy side of the underworld, oresentinc. as it does, a crook drama of a strange love and self sacrifice with Billie Dove. Douglas Fairbanks. Jr., and Helen Ware in its cast. The Way of All Men” promises to present anew idea In drama which is brought to a climax when all of the characters are brought face to face with death in a flood. Frank Llovd directed the production. The list of releases ig certainly promising and It is certain that there will be no lack of most promising screen entertainment throughout August in all parts of the world, due to the celebration of Warner Bros.’ silver jubilee.

ROUNDING ROUND

THEATERS

HAVE been asked many times what we may be able to expect along the legitimate stage attractions during the coming season. I have written the Shubert office in New York and they have assured me that the Shubert bookings for Indianapolis will be officially announced about the middle of August. , It is a well-known fact that the attractions being sent out of New York to Chicago in a large measure determines what we will have here.

To answer the question what we' may expect in Indianapolis, I am going to reproduce part of the dramatic department of the Chicago Tribune of the last few days, in which the writer makes public what j John J. Garrity, general manager ■ of the Shubert theaters in Chicago j expects to offer in his theaters. I am reproducing in part the I article in the Chicago Tribune as j follows: "Young Sinners”—A comedy which deals ! with modern youth in its most up to date \ phase. !

Katharine Cornell—The distinguished actress of exotic heroines in “Dishonored Lady.” bv Margaret Ayer Barnes and Edward Sheldon. She can't be expected to arrive, however, until late in the fall or close to the Christmas holidays. Jane Cowl—Another contender for the title of First Actress, in anew play, as yet unnamed and unstaged. •'Berkeley Square”—A comedy of sentimental charm, with Leslie Howard as its central figure. "Broken Dishes'"—A popular comedy. "'Apron String—Ditto. "'Stepping Sisters”—Ditto.

Lyric to | Have New j Fun Show Starting Today for Week Comedy Will Be Chief Feature. • THE management of the Lyric announces for the coming week ! starting today an all-star and allccmedy stage show, plus "Wild ! company” and an all-talking Fox Movietone feature picture. The stage show is to be composed of four RKO varieties, which is now the new name for vaudeville. Billy Maine, a diminutive comedian, singer and dancer, who came to the varieties from musical comedy, presents the miniature revue of storj, song, dance and comedy called ’You Oughta See Phil.” Maine is assisted in his act by four equally as clever artists who enter.ain with singing, dancing and also join in the fun. Coscia and Verdi have labeled their offering “Music, Glorified, Classified and Mortified.” Verdi is the comedian. Perry Twins and Eslyn Taris present an offering of song, dance and fun in “A Pair and a Peach.” The Perry Twins are humorists in addition to being steppers. Dale and Meyers, two comedy athletes promise an exciting routine of gymnastic feats. “Wild Company” is said to be quite a bit of dramatic entertainment. The story concerns Larry Grayson, reckless son of a wealthy parent, who, when left to his own devices and furnished with more money than is good for him, falls into “wild company,” as the result of a flirtation with a night club singer. He eventually becomes involved in a robbery and murder though he was not an actual participant in the crime. How the boy finally redeems himself is told in the closing chapters of the picture. Sharon Lynn enacts the role of the cabaret singer who leads the youth astray. Others prominent in the cast are Joyce Compton, Kenneth Thomson, Richard Keene, Claire McDowell and George Fawcett. The picture was directed by Leo McCarey from an original story written by John Stone and Bradley King.

Interesting Speakers to Talk From Pulpits

A NATIVE of the Eskimo land, Mrs. Elizabeth Blackmore, will relate stories of life and death among the superstitious people of the frozen north at the Calvary United Brethren church, State and Hoyt avenues, Sunday night at 7:45 o’clock. Mrs. Blackmore, who was born and reared in Baffin Land, as the only white child in that cold country inhabited entirely by Eskimoes, will appear in a fur Eskimo costume I bringing many relics and curios to display. Living on uncooked meat, learning to tell where the reindeer are feeding by looking at the sky, keeping clean without water, dressing in fur all the year are some features of Eskimo life which she will tell. Her lecture will include a vived description of how the Eskimo gets married, how he builds his house and what he believes about eternity. Among the curios which she will exhibit are an Eskimo letter written on sealskin, a whip, a drum and a wooden dish taken from a grave. Mrs. Blackmore, w’ho now lives at 1608 Livingston avenue, was born in Baffin Land, the daughter of an Englishman and his wife, who were engaged in fur trading with the Eskimoes there. She grew up entirely surrounded by Eskimoes, learning their ways, customs and superstittions as only one born and reared there could learn them. Her father's mail, instead of coming twice each day, came only once each year, and it was delivered by a young man named Blackmore, who later became her husbandAfter her marriage to Blackmore, she and her husband took a fur post and became fur traders like her father. Mrs. Blackmore’s three daughters were born in Baffin Land and lived there until a few years ago when she brought them to the United States to be educated. One daughter was graduated from Shortridge high school this June. At Calvary United Brethren church, the pastor, the Rev. L. P. Cooper, will preach on “The Misunderstood Jesus,” Sunday morning at 10:30. Communion service will follow the sermon. n n n CHRISTIAN SCIENCE TOPIC ANNOUNCED “Love” is the subject of the Les-son-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, Aug. 3. Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: “In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously. And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him. So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed” (Acts 28:7-9.) The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” by Mary Baker Eddy: “Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need. It is not well to imagine that Jesus demonstrated the divine power to heal only for a select number or for a limited period of time, since to all mankind and in every hour, divine Love supplies all good.” At the First Moravian Episcopal church, Twenty-second street and Broadway, the pastor, the Rev. F. P. Stocker will preach at 11 a. m. on the subject, “Faith in Man.” There wiil not be an evening service. At the Second Moravian Episcopal 1 church, Thirty-fourth and Hovey streets, the Rev. F. P.

Sunday School Lesson

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for August 3. The Way to World Brotherhood. Ruth 1:6-10,11-22. BY WM. E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of The ConjfrcKationalist THERE are some who claim that the idea of world brotherhood is a comparatively new idea in the world. Some interpreters of the New Testament have even gone so far as to say that the modern idea of universal human brotherhood Is not found in the New Testament or in the teaching of Jesus. That does not seem to be a very sound statement either in fact or in implication. The spirit of the teaching of Jesus in its emphasis upon love, even to those one might regard as his enemies, certainly implies brotherly relationships and responsibilities; while his placing of the fact of the Fatherhood of God at the very center and soul of his religion has as its logical association the fact of human brotherhood. It might be said that Jesus did not regard all men as the children of God and that he said to some “Ye are of your father the devil.” But it seems clear that Jesus regarded sinful men not as having no possible association with God, but rather as having wandered or as being lost from their true estate. Certainly it seems clear that when we look for the teaching of brotherhood, we can find evidences of it far back in the story of religious progress. A Problem of Races This lesson for modem study of the way to world brotherhood takes us all the way back to a simple story of pastoral life in the early days of Israel. It is a story that involves what we would call in our day an inter-racial problem. Naomi, a woman whose home was in Bethlehem, driven by famine, had gone with her husband and two sons across the Jordan into the land of Moab. Here they had been well received and had, apparently prospered; the two sons married Moabitish wives, and all seemed well until the husband and the two sons had died. Here in loneliness and hearing of better times in the land from which she had come, Naomi planned to go back among her own people. Her daughters-in-law accompanied her, but she urged them to go back to their own country. The one listened to her pleading and went back, but the other, Ruth, refused to leave her mother-in-law. Thus the two widows came into the country around Bethlehem, and the story has come down to us as one of intense and deep affection between two women of different race, and of the loyalty and devotion of the younger to the older.

now at the Indiana. 1 3—Horace Heidt with his band is present on the Indiana stage this week.

“All Things for God” and “The Dulled Mind” are the announced subjects of the Rev. B. Brooks Shake at the Grace Methodist Episcopal church, Sunday. At the First United Presbyterian church, Sunday morning, the Rev. Joseph A- Mears will speak on the text, “Yea, All That a Man Hath Will He Give for His Life.” The Rev. C. H. Scheick of the Lynhurst, Baptist church speaks in the morning on “The Union of Christ’s Prayer,” and at night on “In Remembrance of Me.” “Preparedness” is the announced theme of the Rev. Robert F. Laycock, Sunday morning, at the Union Methodist Episcopal church. “The Earnestness of Jesus” will be the morning topic of the Rev. J. Graham Sibson at the Fifty-First Street Methodist Episcopal church. The Rev. E. P. Jewett of the Madison Avenue Methodist Episcopal church will preach, Sunday morning, on “The Nearness of Christ to Human Need.” The class in catechism will meet at 2:30 p. m. No night service At the Christian and Missionary Alliance, the Rev. James Harper will speak in the morning on “The Great Desire of Christ.” At night, “I Am the Light of the World.” The Rev. Howard M. Pattison of the Barth Place Methodist Episcopal church will speak in the morning on “Man—Why and What-” At night, “The Message of the Cross.” In the absence of the Rev. E. G. Homrighausen of the Carrollton Avenue Reformed church, Professor A. T. Degroot of Butler will preach.

While the implications of the story are not all clear, it would seem that Ruth, the Moabitess, now an alien in the country where she was living, was the more competent of the two women. Naomi, back in her own environment, seems to have succumbed ,- ery much to her hardships and reversals of fortune, like some person of superior class and feeling, retaining something of the pride and prejudices of her class without the ability to Wet her new situations. Ruth is the worker of the two, going forth in the fields and gleaning after the reapers so that she might find some support for them both. Probably most of the teachings for our modern world are to be read into the lesson, but the deepest elements are there already—the place of kindliness and affection, and the part that these play under all circumstances and conditions. If there were a little more of genuine kindliness and gentleness in the world, we should not have so many problems. If for the hates and jealousies between individuals and nations and races, we could substitute a spirit of mutual regard and co-operation, how different everything might be and how much better for all concerned. There is no race of people that has not some genuine contribution to make to the life of the world. There is no connection of any individual with any race or nation that warrants fair-minded and decent people in treating another with aloofness. / In the Jewish Lineage But there is something even deeper than the general lesson of humanity in this lesson. We think of Jesus racially as being in the line of David, and we think of David as Israel’s shepherd king, but we find 'that the lineage of David, and of Jesus through David, is traced back to this gentle and faithful Moabitess, Ruth. That is worth while remembering, and it is something that we do not always think of when we speak of Jesus as being of the Jewish race. What racial blendings and contributions we should probably find as having gone to the making of every great prophet ar* teacher ?• all the threads of heredity were untangled and we could trace each to its source! Race prejudice and the unbrotherly spirit are, as a matter of fact, as unintelligent and blind as they are morally mean and ignoble.

Park Has j Picnics j Next Week Broad Ripple to Stage the Annual Field Day Program. THE coming week at Broad Ripple park gives promise of j being one of the big weeks of the park season. The banner days I will be Tuesday and Wednesday, | when the Indianapolis police and fire departments will hold the annual field day and picnic which has become an established fixture i in those departments of the city i government. Formerly the- picnic and field day | events were made up of some sort j of amusement enterprise for which paid ’ troupes and performers took over the entire entertainment feature and commercialized it. This year the arrangements were made which placed the entire entertainment feature program on the two departments, thereby doing away with the idea of commercialism. The entire park facilities have been turned over to the two departments, and with the assistance of the park management a program of field sports has been arranged that will take all the time of the twoday outing. Field days in similar departments are observed each year in all the large cities of the country and the public of these municipalities have evinced much interest in the affairs by being in attendance in great numbers. This will be the first “simon-pure” field day program ever participated in by the police and fire departments of Indianapolis and its success has already been assured by the interest being manifested by the public in the projected programs. In these programs there will be inter-departmental baseball, wrestling, boxing and contests of all kinds, mixed and individual contests and other tests of skill and endurance in the sports line. Besides the sporting features there will be department exhibitions in which the workings of the several necessary equipment will be shown which will include in the police department end of the porgram the workings of the radio in police work, pistol shooting over long and short range with regulation police pistols, first aid, safety precautions and other items that come in the regular police workThe fire department will give exhibitions with apparatus in which ladder drills, rescue work, hose laying and numerous other numbers. All these departmental numbers on the program will be of special interest to the general public in that it will give residents of the city an opportunity to get a “close-up” on the efficiency of the two departments. In other cities these field days are gala events and there is much boosting and pulling for each department by interested persons. This week there arrived at Broad Ripple park zoo two tiny bear cubs, one a brown and the other a black. These two cubs just about size up with the plush teddy bears one sees around Christmas time. That they won a home with the park officials there is no doubt, for they are about the liveliest and most frolicsom bits of animal life ever to arrive at the park. It has been decided to let the public in on the naming of the tiny arrivals and a naming contest is to be started in the near future. The heated spell has made the big swimming pool at the park the mecca for all who have the desire to take a plunge in the cooling waters. Tested a number of times each day, the water in the pool is kept at all times in a safe, sanitary condition. Each Sunday, special water carnival programs are staged by Bud Swain, chief of the life guard squad at the park, in which fancy diving and all manner of swimming strokes are shown by experts. The Broad Ripple pool and bath house is conceded to be the finest and largest in the country and the programs in the pool are not equaled any where.
