HERE IS A ‘LILIOM’ THAT’S NOT MOLNAR Some Directors Get a Crazy Idea That They Have to Rewrite Some Dramatic Masterpieces for Screen. BY WALTEER D. HICKMAN THE Frank Borzage version of Molnar is no more the original “Liliom” than George Washington is the father of the world. For years I have been insisting that when the talking screen brings great dramatic masterpieces to the screen from the stage that the original story must be there. The fact is, you are not buying the stage “Liliom’’ in the talking movie version now at the Apollo. And what a pity it is that the great beauty of “Liliom,” the Liliom that Molnar created, has been lost on the* screen.

It 1s my impression that any director or any one who permits

“Liliom” to be changed and rewritten even in spirit is a sap. If you buy a copy of a play, you will not tolerate three or four pages missing. Just why some directors and producers can not see that the play reading public is not going to tolerate such highway robbery is beyond me. I have had many doses of

Charles Farrell

“Lilliom” on the stage, just as Molnar wrote it, and that play has remained in my memory box as a delightfully charming story which always results in a lot of argument. The director of the movie has failed to give you the Molnar “Heaven” as visualized by the chief character. Instead, the director creates a railroad in the clouds, there Liliom is tried, sent to the hot regions for a cleaning out process and then brought back to earth years afterward to do one good neglected deed. And the director had the nerve to allow Liliom to swipe Gabriel’s horn so his little daughter might toot on it. Oh, hum and many so. A bunch of money has been spent on the production but it has gone wrong. Here is not Molnar, but just another talker and one tl at caused me to laugh at most of it. Charles Farrell has been most terribly miscast. He is no more the Molnar of Liliom than a light thunder shower resembles a cyclone. After seeing Farrell’s conception of Liliom, I appreciate the rumor more than ever that Janet Gaynor flatly refused tq work with Farrell in this picture.

The only perfom-h.- in the entire movie who has caught the meaning of Molnar is Rose Hobart as Julie. Her Julie is an appealing little nobody, who fails to inspire in Liliom a great appreciation for romance. Here is a haunting performance of fine beauty. It is the c ly satisfactory thing from my standpoint in the entire movie*. Be your own judge of “Liliom.” I have my own idea and it is miles away from being anything like favorable. Now at the Apollo. a tt BUSTER KEATON GOES IN FOR WAR TRAVESTY Buster Keaton is funnier to me than hs has been for months in “Dough Boys,” and that is not to be taken to mean Keaton put me in the aislesT It seems to me that writers of movie stories have gotten just as

much comedy and farce out of war in many war movies as is possible. “Dough Boys” at times appeals to me as being a travesty or burlesque on “What Price Glory” with a comedy slam at "The Big Parade” and others of that type. Knowing that "All Quiet on the Western Front” failed to live up

ps***"~ - y

Buster Keaton

to its box office fame in this city, I take it to mean that we are getting fed upon war. Maybe we can laugh at war, or the brand that Keaton gives us in “Dough Boys.” Keaton has a big production this time, and a lot of money has been spent in producing it. Keaton still clings to his frozen face expressions, but his heart is net so cold. I received my biggest laughs, and there are many in this movie, is when Keaton, in his dumb way, captures a bunch of Germans, only to learn that the war is over. And yet when it is all said and done it is only fair to state that Keaton is much more a comedian in this movie than he has been for months. You are going to like “Dough Boys” every second that Cliff Edwards is present, and he has a bunch to do. Sally Eilers is the female lead and a cute little trick, not heavy on talent. Edward Brophy gives good comedy support. Now at the Palace a a a THEY FILM ANOTHER OLD STAGE STORY Because the actors can talk on the screen these days, is the only possible reason for producing “The Girl of the Golden West” as a talker. Have always considered ’’The Girl of the Golden West” to be western melodrama and not great drama. Instead of giving us some great natural scenery, the director

permits the greater part of the action to take place in interiors. thus conforming with the stage idea of the action of the story. I want you to have yoflr own ideas about the way people play their roles. It is my opinion that Ann Harding has come dangerously to the point of being

4 J > a

Ann Harding

miscast. Her voice had a strange ring and somehow I could not associate her “girl” as being the dame who ran a mining camp saloon in

the days when the west was the west. And yet, when Ann was called upon to tear on the tears and the sobstuff, she did it with such success that I thought I was attending a funeral instead of being in a theater. Results is the test and on that melodramatic and sentimental test, I will have to let Ann Harding win. James Rennie plays the role of the outlaw lover of the “girl.” Rennie did not seem to be the right actor for the part. He read his lines beautifully and all of that, but he didn't seem to be the bold bad man that he was supposed to be. Maybe I am all wet on how a bold bad man should look. Maybe they should have that just from the barber shop look to them, y But this movie does prove that we still like to yield to the demands of melodrama and sob sister sentiment. Oh, we just love to have our heroines suffer for love. The director has well handled the famous card scene where the girl plays poker with the sheriff for the life of the outlaw. “The Girl of the Golden West” misses being an important movie. The big and fine feature of the stage show, “Noah’s Lark,” is the fine tap dancing of Billy Farrell and his dad. Here is great work. Now at the Indiana. a a a “THE SPOILERS” AS A TALKIE

“The Spoilers,” one of Rex Beach’s most, successful novels, has been filmed twice as a silent movie. Now in this day of talkies it has been

filmed with the spoken word. No doubt the director found this no easy task, for in some parts long titles have to be thrown on the screen to explain the thread of the story. To those who are not acquainted with “The Spoilers,” if there are such, it probably will give a big thrill. For myself, however, it only

, ;

Gary Cooper

proved interesting because it is a talkie. Gary Cooper, aS*the hero, is rather disappointing to me. Cooper looks the part, all right, but when he talks there is a stiffness about him that is not convincing and natural. He seems to be just reciting many of his lines. He would have fitted the part fine in the silent version. Kay Johnson as the girl from the east plays her role very well and with showmanship. I always have liked Miss Johnson’s acting, and I like her in this. Betty Compson as Cherry, the girl who deals cards in a gambling house, and is vainly in love with our hero, is well cast and does some nice work. The light comedy is furnished by Harry Green and Slim Summerville. No doubt you will like Summerville best; I did. He adds that human touch to his funniness that not only makes you laugh, but also feel sorry for him. The big fight scene between Cooper and William Boyd, (of the stage) has been well directed, but not as convincing as it might have been. I gqf the idea that they got in many ot their fighting positions before the cameraman started cranking. At least some of the tangles they are shown in, I did not seem them get into. This version of “The Spoilers” is interesting, because it is a talkie. It is no worse or no better as far as thrills and the filming of the story than the silent version. Dale Young at the organ and a comedy complete the bill. Now showing at the Circle. (By Connell Turpen). Other theaters today offer: “Rain or Shine” at the Lyric; Buddy Kane at the Colonial; “Broadway Scandals” at the Mutual, and, “Anybody's Woman” at the Ohio.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

2 MILLIONAIRES IN BATTLE FOR SENATE HONOR Re-election of Metcalf Is Opposed by Former Office Holder. BY RAY TUCKER Scripps-Howard Staff Writer PROVIDENCE, Oct. 6ln the senate Jesse H. Metcalf of Rhode Island is a quiet, soft-spoken, modestly dressed man whose chief claim to distinction seems to be that, like Senator Phipps of Colorado, Cutting of New Mexico, and Couzens of Michigan, he is one of the millionaires on capital hill.

He rarely makes a speech, although, with c h a r a c teristic con sci e ntiousness, he often listens to them. In view of general unrest and and is s a tisfaction, the fact that the Democrats; frequently carry Rhode Island in off-years, and A1 Smith's victory by 1,700 votes in

Metcalf

1928, it would not be surprising if millionaire Metcalf should go down before millionaire and ex-Senator Peter Goelet Gerry on Nov. 4. But among the home folks Metcalf is known as one of the most generous, though retiring, philanthropists in the state. He finances, without appearing in the picture, unfortunate families, church organizations, boys’ clubs, schools and universities. He takes a deep and active interest in civic affairs. How he earned such a reputation in view of his really quiet way of spending money is, apparently, one of those political mysteries nobody can solve. But his generosity before and since he took office explains why he has an even chance, and slightly more to hold off the Democi-atic hordes of this cosmopolitan and industrial little state in this year of bad business and bad booze. Yes, Rhode Island is wet, too.

Saved Needless Suffering, Says Lady Who Used To Have Severe Headaches. “I have taken Black-Draught for j thirty or more years and considered : it a family medicine,” writes Mrs. j Luther Senn, 815 EigMh Street, Columbia, s. c. j “I gave it to my children for i colds and children’s ailments. It iis very helpful. I took it myself for constipation and indigestion. “I used to have very severe head- : aches that would leave me weak and trembly. I found that Black- ; Draught relieves this, so I do not let myself get without it. BlackDraught has saved me a lot of 1 needless suffering. I am glad to | recommend it to my friends ana i neighbors.;” Thedford’s Black-Draught is a purely vegetable cathartic or laxative medicine, composed of selected medicinal herbs and roots. Black Draught is finely powdered, which enables the juices of the stomach to extract its medicinal properties in an easy, natural way. This medicine has been in use since 1835, with constantly increasing popularity because of the good it has done to the men, women and children who have taken it.
