THIS HEIDT PERSON HAS A REAL BAND

Splendid Use of Instruments, Beth Brass and String, Makes the Californians a Fine Organization, BY WALTER D. HICKMAN JUST when I was getting the idea that the bands in stage presentations probably were getting a little old fashioned along comes Horace Heidt and his Californians and destroy my idea. The reasons for the success of Heidt and his orchestra is that they do everything differently, and they do a lot of different things. Pleidt works his men at breakneck speed and he introduces one novelty after another. His men are just as expert while playing brass, string instruments, singing or dancing.

Heidt knows the value of real melodies done in the latest fashion. In other words, this man has arrangements that are knockouts. He appreciates the advantages of making each number appear new. The

men are individually good players. And the result is a corking orchestra. Lobo 11, a police dog, is a wonder. He has been trained along individual lines. Something different. There are no women on the stage this week. Dessa Byrd and Brooke Johns have a singing contest. That is all Johns is doing this week.

The stage is cleared for the Californians and the going is good. The movie feature is “Virtuous Husband,” which is the movie name for the stage play, “Apron Strings.” As I recently reviewed the stage play in this department, I will not go into detail concerning the story. You recall it concerns a young man whose mother (although dead) leaves him letters for every occasion, especially how he is to treat his wife on the honeymoon. With Betty Compson, Elliott Nugent and Jean Arthur in the cast, the acting is smart. Now at the Indiana. a tt a HERE IS SOME MORE ROMANTIC STUFF Personally, this south sea island” stuff is not so hot, new or sensational to me any more, regardless of whether the leading women or some of the men wear very little clothes.

The story is well known, a rich man falls for a native girl and he becomes native as well as a bum. Os course, before he rots, he goes “white” again and the indications are that he has learned his lesson. I am speaking of “Never the Twain Shall Meet.” To me the only int er e sting thing in the entire picture is the very realistic work of

K '[ • > A-J tc :: •• '€ % * 1 fit

Conchita Montenegro

Leslie Howard (remebering him in ‘Outward Bound’?) in a very unpleasant role. He is cast as the white man who goes native. Even competent acting does not make this story more than half way entertaining. Probably it is just my taste in this sort of a thing, but it does get me excited. Some of the scenic shots are beautiful, and there are numerous realistic touches, but the story is not new enough to carry much of a kick. We had the same thing years ago in “The Bird of Paradise.” To me this movie is less than fair at times, and even the wiggles of Conchita Montenegro failed to interest me. Be your own judge, as usual. I have my own opinion. Now at the Palace. u tt a STAGE COMEDY IS NOW A MOVIE It seems to me that directors in the movies are getting wiser and more efficient in bringing stage shows to the talking screen. That is true the way that “Up Pops The Devil.” The director not only kept the stage title, but follows the stage script most carefully. Skeets Gallagher is cast as the drunktV theatrical producer and he does a nice job in several souse scenes. He comes mighty near being the high light of this movie. Carole Lombard, Stuart Erwin and Lilyan Tashman play the other chief roles. The story concerns a young married woman who goes to work and leaves her husband at home to take care of the house and write a novel. When the husband is put on his wife’s spending money, of course up pops the devil. Here is rather wise fun, smartly played on the whole. The photography and the recording is right. Now at the Circle. •“Daddy Long Legs,” with Janet Gaynor and Warner Baxter is now in its second week at the Apollo. A picture that makes one feel grand. Other theaters today offer: “Ten Nights in a Bar-Room," at the Terminal, “The Two Gun Man” at the Alamo, double movie bill at the Ohio, “Belle Bennett” at the Lyric, and, "Nancy’s Private Affair,” at English’s.

Delicious Fruit Recipes Fresh fruits are very important in the diet as regulatory foods and tissue builders. The fact that they contain mineral salts such as calcium, phosphorus, lime and iron—each necessary to the body tissues—makes the use of fruit in the diet necessary. And the fact that most fruits are low in food value, while furnishing cellulose and acids, makes them ideal for summer use in the diet. Our Washington bureau has ready for you a comprehensive new bulletin on fruit dishes, drinks and desserts.

Mr. Fixit—ln the vicinity of Thirtieth and Euclid there is bad radio interference. What can be done? E. R. R. From the description of the interference in your letter, the disturbance would appear to be caused either by a grounded lightninr arrester or a broken power line arrester. In either event, repairs are up to the light company’s maintenance department, which should be notified by the radio owner. Mr. Fixit—Would it be possible to get Samoa street oiled between Brookside avenue and, Brookside parkway, north drive? The gravel and dirt are even with the curbs and will not permit drainage. N. E.

BATTLESHIP TO TOW WILKINS' HELPLESS SUB Motors Disabled, Nautilus Pitches and Rolls in Mid-Atlantic, By United Press ABOARD, STEAMSHIP INDEPENDENCE HALL, AT SEA, June 15.—Its engines disabled the submarine Nautilus, on the first stage of its projected cruise under the ice to the north pole, pitched and rolled helplessly in mid-Atlantic today before it was taken in tow. The under-water craft, earning an expedition headed by Sir Hubert Wilkins, called for aid and the United States battleship Wyoming, responding took the Nautilus in tow for Queenstown, Ireland. The Wyoming was moving at five knots an hour. The submarine had wallowed in heavy seas which at first defeated efforts to send a tow line over. The storm center had passed, however, when the battleships Wyoming and Arkansas arrived some hours after the Independence Hall answered the Nautilus’ call. * Efforts Prove Dangerous Admiral C. C. Block, aboard the Arkansas, designated the Wyoming to take the submarine to Queenstown, about 1,000 miles away. The Independence Hall, on its way from New York to Bordeaux, France, previously had attempted to take the submarine in tow, but the weather was too rough and the efforts were futile and dangerous. The Nautilus’ starboard engine and port motor are disabled. The engine and motor trouble make it impossible to charge batteries and the submarine’s plight was serious. Two-Thirds Across The Nautilus left Provincetowß. Mass., for England, and had covered approximately two-thirds of the distance across the Atlantic in ten days when the mishap occurred.The fact that the submarine was in the direct trans-Atlantic shipping lanes, about 200 miles north of the Azores, is believed fortunate, for otherwise it could have been lost for days without being found, or longer. Its batteries were so weak that its signals scarcely were audible toward the end of its appeals for aid.
