SUSAN TAKES A BIG ! FALL THIS TIME Greta Garbo's Miss Lenox Is Not as the Author Created Her in Book Form in ‘Susan Lenox: Her Fall and Rise.’ BY WALTER D. HICKMAN TO those who never read David Graham Phillips’ ’ Susan Lenox; Her Fall and Rise" in book form, the movie version with Greta Garbo j and Gable will probably be a sensation. Just because the "great” Garbo and the new matinee sensation, 1 Clark Gable, hate most to do in the cast. Years and years ago when “Suzan Lennox” in book form was a literary sensation, I considered the book a great dramatic search into the soul of a woman who took a great tumble. In fact, Suzan took one of the biggest personal tumbles that modern literature has recorded.

Greta allows Suzan to take the j slide, but it seems to be Miss Garbo's idea of the slide and not Phillips' Suzan. The fact is that Miss i

Garbo's Suzan did not give me the ; heartache and the worry that Suzan handed out to me on the printed page. And it is a fact that Miss Garbo Is talking j better than she j ever has, but it is j Garbo and not I Suzan. You will probably tell me that Garbo’s Suzan is the j grandest thing she ; has done. Well 1

we at last agree in one thing—it is Garbo’s Suzan. If you have not read this old timer, your verdict will be that—Garbo’s greatest. Never has Garbo been called upon to wear as many different costumes as she does in “Suzan Lennox.” The beginning of the picture is filmed with telling realistic effect. Here is just drab life, terrible life on a farm in Minnesota 'I think I have the right state) and you feel the cruelness and unfairness of Suzan’s illegal entrance into the world.

But as the dumb fat first) Susan begins her experiences with men when she makes her dash for freedom, she loses that quality of natural pity which begets pity. The movie version permits Garbo to be too much Garbo (little too much Anna Christie if you please) to be an individual Susan. Clark Gable is the Rodney of the story and he does a good healthy job of it when he is just a nice designer of bridges with a desire to buy a ring for the misunderstood Lenox. '7 And when he thinks he discovers that his Susan is just one of "those women” who bounce from man to man—well, Susan, decides to be bad. And is she bad? Yes in a ! too theatrical way. To me the greatest defect of | "Susan Lenox" is that it went Hollywood instead of David Graham Phillips. Don’t let me keep you from seeing Garbo's Susan. I don’t want to and I couldn’t because “Susan,” with Greta and Clark are playing to what is generally known capacity. 1 sincerely believe that there is going to be a wide difference of opinion, depending entirely upon how well the person knows Susan in book form. Now at the Palace. tt tt a MENJOU SLirS IN THIS PICTURE I can’t imagine Adolpe Menjou as an army captain of a. garrison in a faraway land near a hot desert. Well, Adolphe is just that in a mighty weak story called "Friends and Lovers.” It is too bad to burden Menjou with such tripe as “Friends and

Lovers." Even the cruel work of Eric Von Stroheim as the blackmailing husband of a not too virtuous dame, played with very little feeling by Lily Damita. Never have I seen a more iceberg of a person at times than Lily is as the alleged for lorn heroine in this movie. Even her diction at times did not match

Adolph Menjou

the emotion of the scene. In fact, this girl could not move me to tears or the desire to kill the other fellow who was stronger with her. Menjou is supposed to be the heavy man around this "heroine.” And Adolphe nearly gets killed and every once in a while gorgeously insulted by an officer in his company. There is nothing new in the story and the direction as well as the acting is not inspired. Even when Von Stroheim was killed. I was glad that the villain was no more. I think this one is rather a mess. Be your own judge, as usual. But I think it is mighty weak theater. Now at the Circle. a a a INDIANA GETS ANOTHER GOOD STAGE SHOW START.

tation of the Fanchon and Marco units, "Dream House,” it seems that a very good start has been made. The first unit is not elaborate in scenery, but it has a pretty swift tempo, not too many chorus numbers and a nice mixture of variety acts, some very familiar in this city. I am willing to record that "Peg Leg” Bates, a colored man who has only one leg, is one of the best dancers I have ever seen in my life. Even after he has stopped the show by dancing with his good leg and his “peg” leg, he states that he hopes he has won by ability and not “by sympathy for my affliction.” He handles his peg leg as perfectly as his good one and he goes in for the most difficult of steps. Here is a real dancer and deserves his triumph. Another big hit this week is the re-appearance of Ed Resener and his band back for an overture. This time it is a collection of Romberg’s melodies. Resener is handling himself better than ever and seems to be more positive in getting what he wants from his men. All quite a hit—meaning Resener and the band. I never have cared for the three children, Hague, Hague and Hague, because they try to be too adult. They have eliminated some of that this time. As usual they tie up the

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Puppy-Love By United Press JACKSON, Mich., Oct. 19. Mrs. William Heins of Rives Junction rewarded her motherly Plymouth Rock hen today by putting her on a sitting of eggs. The good hen wandered Sunday into a woodshed and covered three fox terrier puppies. Mama dog returned and a battle raged, with the hen holding her own until Mrs. Heins intervened.

show to about a dead stop. So I will let the audience win. Dessa Byrd is back at the pipe organ. In melodies and on the screen she tells about her vacation to New York where she visited Charlie Davis and his gang. She should be pleased with her return ovation to the Indiana. There are other acts in the regular Fanchon and Marco units. One will have to become accustomed to their “idea” units. The movie is “Pagan Lady” with Evelyn Brent not quite as pagan as Dot was on the stage. Some of the strong language has been purified as has the ending. Looks like a happy week at the Indiana this week. Other theaters today offer: "The Spirit of Notre Dame,” now in its second week at the Apollo; “Riders of the Purple Sage,” at the Lyric; "Monkey Business,” at the Ohio, and burlesque at the Mutual. Circus Closes Season By Timex Special PERU, Ind., Oct. 19.—The Sells Floto circus has gone into winter quarters here after closing the season at Cairo, 111. Tom Mix, motion picture actor, who has been with the circus through the summer, left today for the west with a cari load of horses, including his famous mount Tony. Mix will appear in ; six western pictures to be made 1 during the winter.

Good?. . .You bet they are! Maybe the girls are even better. Anyhow, cigarettes are a whole lot better. No doubt about that. They used to be made by hand Now it's machines; no hand but yours ever touches them . They used to be packed in expensive, highfalutin’ cardboard boxes Now the quality is in the cigarettes. The U. S. Revenue Tax used to be a penny a package of twenty— IS ow it's six cents a package of twenty. * Tobacco used to be dried by air— Now Liggett Myers alone has thirtyfive drying machines of the latest type, with a daily capacity of over 2,000,000 pounds—and over four miles of warehouses for tobacco storage. Better they’re miles better! Everything used in the manufacture of Chesterfield cigarettes is the best that money can buy or that Science knows about. Chesterfield tobaccos both Turkish and Domestic—are mild and ripe, the best that money can buy. And the way Chesterfield tobaccos are blended and cross-blended is like making anew and better-tasting kind of tobacco, with greater smoothness, more mildness and a more pleasingaaroma fragrance and flavor not to be found in any other cigarette. Chesterfield gives you the benefit of all the world knows about the production of better cigarettes. Nobody smokes a better cigarette than Chesterfield. | I

Lowry Gets Ovation at the Civic ‘Let Us Be Gay’ Gives the Playhouse Its Smartest Opening. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN IT seems to me that Judith Lowry and those associated with her in “Let Us Be Gay,"-the Rachel Croth- i ers’ comedy, has given the Civic theater at the Playhouse its smartest season’s opening since I have been telling you about this organization.

Tonight will be just as Important j as the Saturday night opening with both houses to capacity. Mrs. Lowry was accorded the greatest ovation that I have ever seen at any Civic theater performance and there have been several big ones. I was glad to see this wonderful woman give such a natural and splendid performance to such an extent that it will guarantee now and then a visit of a great guest star to the Cicic theater. The guarantee is that the first guest star has more than delivered as Mrs. Boucicault, a caustic old modern who has a tongue of fire and independence w r hich about causes a riot. Mrs. Lowry makes this comedy a smart comedy. And that is all that it is—just smart theater which will make you laugh away your cares. The new director, Hale Mac Keen, makes a mighty good beginning. He

was right In bringing the right woman to play Mrs. Boucicault. The Civic theater seems to be stronger in its women than its men when it comes from an acting standpoint. Katherine Pantzdr has always been successful at the Civic. She is a strong leading woman and as Kitty Brown, as a very modern modern who discovers she isn't so modern as she thought, she is at her best. She handles her scenes with the touch of an expert. The cast contributing to the success of “Let U.i Be Gay” is as follows : Mrs. Boucclcault Judith Lowrv Kitty Brown Katherine Pantzer Bob Brown Albert Deluse Dierdre Lessing Lois Graham Townlev Town Philip White Bruce Keen George Lehman Madge Livingstone.. .Marv Louise Minnick Wallace Grainger Walter Jacks on Whiteman Blair Tavlor Struthers Richard Bixbv Williams Carl Ratcliffe Perkins Vera Ellen Coxe From a scenic standpoint this production nearly reaches anew high level. Two sets are very heavy, employing at least two levels. And that is an undertaking. The lights show that they have been better planned. Maybe the equipment is better.

before members of his family could reach his bedside. One of the pioneer builders of America’s great steel industry, Mather, as senior partner of Pickands, Mather <fc Company, was head of the second largest iron ore industrial concern In the country. In addition, he was reputed to be the second largest individual stockholder in the United States Steel Corporation, which he represented on the board of directors. In the field of charity, he was Cleveland's greatest donor, his donations estimated to have approached $8,000,000. To the Community Fund alone, of which he was honorary chairman, he had contributed at the close of the twelfth annual campaign in 1930, $1,559,000. Asa token of respect, all flags on city buildings were flown at half mast. Mather *s survived by two sons, S. Livingston and Philip R. Mather; one daughter, Mrs. R. H.
