CIRCLE HAS WORLD PREMIERE OF TARKINGTON MOVIE

Greta Garbo Said to Have Lavish Movie in Inspiration,’ Which Opens Today for a Week at the Palace; Lowe Comedy at the Apollo. THIS being the home of Booth Tarkington, it was proper that the Circle last, night was the scene of the world premiere of his* latest *ncwie. “Father’s Son.” As movie cameras clicked, many friends of the. novelist, and playwright entered the Circle as special guests last night. A radio broadcast kept the rest of the city and state informed of what was going on. The special invited guests included Governor Leslie. Mayor Sullivan, President William Lowe Bryan of Indiana university, Dr. Carlton B. McCullough. Meredith Nicholson. Mrs. Ovid Butler Jameson and many others.

James Hall, master of ceremonies at the Indiana, introduced the wellknown people in the audience. ‘ Father’s Son” is described as a comedy not dissimilar to Mr. Tarkington's tales of Penrod, Sam and other renowned boy characters. It is based on the story which was first called “Old Fathers and Young Bons.” William Beaudine, who directed “Penrod and Sam” on the silent screen several years ago, is responsible for the sympathetic direction of “Father’s Son.” Leon Janney, the child star, who appeared in George Arliss’ “Old English,” and in many other films, as well as on the stage, has the chief role as Bill Emory, the freckled 12-year-old boy of the title. Robert Dandridge impersonates his little colored pal. Vestibule Pullmr.a Johnson, the junkman’s son. Mickey Bennett is the boy next door. The roles of Bill’s parents are played by Irene Rich and Lewis Stone. John Halliday is the family doctor, and others parts arc portrayed by Bertha Mann. Gertrude Howard and Grover Liggon. Briefly, the story of “Father s Son’’ deals with the plight of a young boy who is forever being reprimanded by his father, a man in middle life. The boy’s misdemeanors are punished in many ways, mainly by his being kept away from his gang. The solicitations of his mother in his behalf are fruitless, and eventually the boy runs away from home. His return, his father's misunderstandings and his mother’s sympathetic attitude bring about a climax, with the parents at odds over the manner in which the boy should be treated. Dale Young plays an organ solo entitled “To Be Continued” as a feature of the supplementary program at the Circle. Lowell Thomas and John Philip Sousa, in Paramount pictorial, “Africa Shrieks,” “Teacher’s Pet,” and a Paramount sound news reel are among the short films shown. tt tt B NEW GARBO MOVIE AT PALACE Greta. Garbo is back with more lure than that of the silent days in “Inspiration,” her new Metro-Gold-wyn-Mayer talking picture, which opened today at the Palace. As Yvonne, love-hungry favorite of the modem Paris art colony, Miss Garbo has dramatic opportunities. Clarence Brown, who did so well with Garbo’s vocal debut as well as with some of her most successful silent films, again was responsible for the direction of her new picture. Tlie direction is clever, and while ingenious in mechanics, never intrudes upon the smooth fluidity of the story. The effect of climbing the spiral stairway in the opening scenes is amazing and quite unfathomable to the untrained spectator. Robert Montgomery plays opposite the star as her provincial lover and his captivating negotiation of the romantic role should send his screen stock on sky-rocketing boom —if he can go any higher than his amazing versatility has already carried him. Montgomery makes an ideal leading man for Garbo. That reliable trouper who always seems so perfectly at ease and quite at home in Garbo’s pictures, Lewis Stone, is cast as Delval, the suave boulevardier, to whom Yvonne turns in need.

Marjorie Rambeau, now a regular filmite, is striking as Lulu, a weatherbeaten lady of considerable leisure. Beryl Mercer is Martha, the confidante; Judith Vosselli is Yvonne’s catty rival and John MilJan portrays a love-lorn sculptor. Others in the supporting cast are Edwin Maxwell, Oscar Apfel, Joan Marsh. Zelda Sears, Karen Morley, Gwen Lee, Paul McAllister, Arthur Hoyt and Richard Tucker. The surrounding program will include several selected features, among which are Hal Roach’s ‘‘Boy Friends.” the Hearst Metrotone News, a Walt Disney cartoon, and a curiosity novelty. tt tt st HALL SINGS AGAIN AT INDIANA. James (Jimmie) Hall, motion picture star of many screen productions including the notable “Hell’s Angeles,” is continuing in person at the Indiana theater for a second week on the stage as master of ceremonies. He presents anew Publix and show on the stage under the title, “Fountains of Melody.” Owing to his success with the presentation of a song during his first week here. Hall is offering another number this week. In addition he performs his regular duties of interpolating his regular duties of interducing the various turns in the Publix unit. He is surrounded by a group of performers that include Brems, Fltz and Murphy brothers, a comedy quartet known as the “Harmony Funsters;” the Marie MacQuarrie

Ensemble, six girl harpiests; Darlene Walders, an acrobatic dancer; Gladys St. John, soprano, and the Allan Foster chorus of girls. The Indiana’s screen program is headed by the new Paramount alltalking picture entitled “Stolen Heaven.” Nancy Carroll and Phillips Holmes have the leading roles. Louis Calhem, who was Ethel Barrymore’s leading man at the English here last season in two plays, has another important role in the film. George Abbott adapted the film to the screen from a story by Pana Burnet. Abbott also handled the direction. Dramatic in theme, “Stolen Heaven” enables Miss Carroll to follow along the serious acting paths into which she turned with “The Devil’s Holiday” and “Laughter.” The picture's action begins with the strange meeting of a friendless boy and girl. The boy confesses to the girl that he has just committed a robbery. After helping him to elude the police, the girl consents to go away with him to live in a whirl of luxury and freedom until the proceeds of the robbery are spent. Then, according to their plans, the couple intends to seek death together. The pair buy expensive clothes, escape to Palm Beach and live happily. They fall deeply in love with each other, but are dismayed to discover that their money is rapidly being spent. The manner in which the girl tries to overcome the obstacles in their way brings about the climax of the picture. Second Hungarian Rhapsody is played by the new augmented concert orchestra in the pit with Ed Reseller conducting. A cartoon, a news reel and Dessa Byrd at the organ are also in the list of attractions. tt n u EDMUND LOWE TOPS MOVIE CAST We never know the exact amount of trouble that is involved in the taking of one little kiss, according to the Foi Movietone comedydrama, “Don’t Bet On Women,” which opened at the Apollo theater today. “Don’t Bet On Women” brings Edmund Lowe and Jeanette MacDonald to the screen for the first time in co-starring roles. Lowe is cast as Roger Fallon, wealthy young sportsman, who has learned from his previous matrimonial venture, that “all women are a little bad.” He discloses his theories to his lawyer, Mr. Drake, played by Roland Young. They differ in their opinions and a wager is made. Mr. Drake challenges Lowe to prove his theories and also to disclose his mastery over the fair sex. Lowe is confronted with the plight of kissing the first women to join the party or forfeit SIO,OOO. Much to the dissatisfaction of both gentlemen, Mrs. Drake, played by Jeanette MacDonald, according to the rules, is the woman involved. Os course, the wager is made unknowingly to Mrs. Drake. Lowe becomes infatuated with the beautiful wife of his friend, and he chooses to lose the money rather than become involved in a love affair that will prove uncomfortable for himself. The many circumstances arising from the wager involving the kiss, is very pleasantly handled, it is said. The supporting cast includes Una Merkel, who supplies the comedy to the play, J. M. Kerrigan and Helene Millard. Vitaphone short subjects are included on the program.

ss ass “LITTLE CAESAR” OPENS AT OHIO “Little Caesar,” First National Vitaphone screen adaptation of the sensational gangland novel by W. R. Burnett which is running serially in The Times, opened an engagement of one week at the Ohio today. It is the story of the rise to power of a gangster and his subsequent domination of the underworld forces that once ridiculed him. Directed by Mervyn Leßoy, the film is enacted by a large cast of well known players. Edward C. Robinson, who won recognition on Broadway for his portrayal of Nick Scarsi in “The Racket,” has the title role as Rico, called “Little Caesar.” Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., William Collier Jr., Sidney Blackmer, Thomas Jackson, Ralph Ince, Stanley Fields, George E. Stone and Glenda Farrell are other players of importance. All for Charity Many of the stars are receiving requests from girl students in colleges for their cast-off clothing and costumes for use in college plays. The girls are not begging, as one of them sent a check for S2OO to get a certain costume so that she may win a prize offered for the best costume in their game of “Hollywood Scenery.”

Symphony Orchestra Will Play Local Organization to Appear Sunday at Caleb Mills. THE orchestral suite, Opus No. 60. by Frederic Krull, which will be featured by the Indianapolis symphony orchestra under the baton of Ferdinand Schaefer next Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock at Caleb Mills hall, was originally written, for the Indiana centennial in 1916. The committee in charge of the music for this festival was composed of Max Leckner, O. W. Pierce and E. B. Birge. The entire composition was given one reading by the Emestinoff orchestra. The suite consists of four parts—- “ Continent,” “Native Moods,” “Pioneer Advance” and “Fulfillment.” The orchestra will play only the third part, “Native Mood.” There are four compositions in the “Native Mood” part to the suite—- “ Tranquil Trails,” “Moonset,” “Council Fires” and “Tomahawk.” The idea is Indian, although no attempt has been made to imitate Indian music.

ROUNDING ROUND THEATERS

“XT’S a WISE CHILD” as presented last night at English’s by the X Stuart Walker Company of Indianapolis, is a wise play. This comedy is full of sex hokum and about everything that one would not expect to find in a modern play. It is as melodramatic in its way as Nellie, the beautiful cloak model, or “The Easiest Way,” and yet it is mighty funny theater. Haven’t heard as much laughter in English’s in many moons as I heard last night when Joyce Stanton, played by Helen Claire, was trying to find a husband for her make-believe child. Joyce was one of these modern dames who takes an original way to

keep out of a loveless marriage. She refuses to marry an old man by the name of Appleby, played by Aldrich Bowker. The original way of Joyce was an ancient one. For no reason of fact, she calmly announces that she is going to be a mother out of wedlock. She knew this man Appleby. His theory was that no self respecting man would marry a woman in that condition when he was not to blame. So he is disposed of. Matters do get mixed up when James Stevens, played by Victor Jory, declares that he is the daddy of the “child.” That is a pretty kettle of fish. Rut the comedy has a happy ending. “It’s a Wise Child” had a great run on Broadway after David Belasco had given it his blessings. Stuart Walker has now done the same and the result was that there were few vacant seats at English’s last night. Asa play, it is just a laugh on a very delicate subject, the fun gaining power as you know all the time that Joyce had told a white he. I liked the work of Miss Claire as Joyce Stanton. She doesn’t have a great chance because the men seem to walk away with the fun. Jory gave a consistent study of the lawyer who says “I am the father.” The outstanding bit of comedy work was the intensity in which Fred Stevjart played the role of Bill Stanton. Here was crazy but fine work. He about walked away with the show. The same can be said of William Lawson as Cool Kelly, the iceman, who has a domestic problem to solve. Annabel Nation made a fine eccentric Bertha. Os course Judith Lowry’ and Mr. Bowker always know what to do. Great ovations were given them when they walked on the stage. If you want some wise nonsense, then “It’s a Wise Child” is your menu. At English’s this afternoon and evening. n # u A dancing event of the Indianapolis season will be the presentation on Sunday afternoon, March 8, at English’s Kreutzberg and Georgi. This program will be the closing concert for this season of the Martens Concerts. Inc. Although Harald Kreutzberg and Yvonne Georgi have known each other for many years, it webs not until two years s.go, following Kreutzberg’s sensational reception in New York, when Max Reinhardt presented him in a single concert, that the two launched their careers <as dance partners. Both Kreutzberg and Georgi attended the celebrated Mary Wigman school in Germany, where Georgi was at one time an Instructor.

"Life," by Mr. Schellschmtdt, will form part of the program. The overture to “La Dame Blanche,” by Boieldieu. and Haydn’s “Second Symphony,” also will be given, A teachers’ normal of the Oxford: piano class method will open on j Monday afternoon, March 9, at the j conservatory under the leadership, of Geraldine Trotter. Further information may be hadj I at the office.’ All reservations mustH j be made by March 2.

On Program Indiana Central college choir, directed by Mrs. Jane Johnson Burroughs, will give the convocation program for the Butler college of education next Thursday. Miss Julia Good, piano student of Miss Grace Hutchings, is accompanist for the choir.

Later, both she and Kreutzberg became associated with the ballets of the Hanover and Berlin operas, Georgi succeeding Max Terpis as ballet master of the former. While Kreutzberg was dancing in the Hanover opera, friends urged that he and Georgi combine their careers because of mutual physical harmony and a common love and understanding of the modern dance. Kreutzberg, however, was engaged by Max Reinhardt for the festival plays at Salzburg and later Reinhardt brought him to America in his production of "Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Returning to Germany, Kreutzberg and Georgi worked up more than 100 routines in readiness for their debut in this country last season. Together they captivated and electrified critics and audiences who viewed their extraordinary art. This is their second season in this country. The program follows: Hvmn Lull! “Angel of Annunciation” Reger “Arabian Dream” Allende “Jubilate” Reger "Variations" Mozart “Kassandra” Wilckens “Pavana" Ravel Intenpisison “Rural Dance” Wilckens “King’s Dance” Reger ‘‘Persian Song” Satie “Festival Dance” Brahms “Waltz” Reger

George Somnes Has the Lead in ‘Rope’s End,’ Which Opens Monday at the Civic; Ben Bard and Broadus Erie Top Variety Bill at Lyric. TEE Civic Theater will open Monday night with the fifth of its cycle of “type” plays when it presents “Rope's End.” a murder thriller. George Somnes, director of the theater. Is to play the principal role, which is the part of Ruper -Cadeil, a war-crippled poet and cynical dilletante. Somnes has not appeared before this year at the Civic Theater, although he has played in Cincinnati with Stuart Walker. Perhaps the busiest week of his life was during the latter part of January when he simultaneously played in "The Solid South.” rehearsed Stuart Walker's revival of “Fashion” and .commuted to Indianapolis to direct his own production of “Hotel Universe” at the Civic theater.

"Rope s End” is the rm>st v recent style of English “shocker.” coldly gripping and with a goodly number of thrills both in the lines and through the use of the mechanical trickery of mystery melodrama. The audience is allotted to know from the opening curtain that a crime has been committed, while the characters do not The question of when and by wham, the murder may be discovered keeps the spectator aroused whila the characters, who are friends efr' relatives of the slain main, unknowingly circle about a chest in which the evidence of the crime has been concealed.
