MAX FISHER AND DUKE ELLINGTON TOP NEW STAGE BILLS

Bert Lahr and Charlotte Greenwood Team Together for Laughs and Melody in ‘Flying High/ Opening Today at the Palace for a Week. DUKE ELLINGTON and his Cotton Club orchestra are the featured headliners at the Indiana theater. Their engagement, which is for one week only, marks the band's first visit to this city. On the screen the Indiana offers a romance-drama starring Tallulah Bankhead in "The Cheat.” t-v leader of one of the country's foremost musical organizations, nuke Ellington will furnish the complete stage chow during his one-week stay at the Indiana theater. In addition to his band novelties, Ellington is also presenting several assisting acts which travel with his orchestra. According to reports, many requests have been recevied at the theater

to have Ellington and his band play "Mood Indigo" and "Black and Tan Fantasie.” These tunes were written and made famous by the band leader himself. The screen feature, “The Cheat,” tells the story of an alluring woman intrigued by the love-making of a mystic man of oriental culture. In spite of the fact that she is happy and satisfied with her husband, she permits this flirtation and a gambling debt to draw her into the power of the intruder. He writes a check to pay one of her obligations. In the meantime, money is provided with which she cancels the check, but the enslaved lover refuses to consider her promise filled. The later sequences reveal how she is branded and dramatic suspense which follows when her vengeful shooting of the tormentor brings herself and husband to a notorious position in court. In addition to Miss Bankhead. “The Cheat” features Irving Pichel. Harvey Stephens, Ann Andrews and .lay Fassett. The picture is a George Abbott directorial product. tt tt tt

NEW MUSICAL MOVIE AT PALACE “Flying High,” Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s adaptation of the Georg< White musical comedy success, wil open laugh week at the Palac< starting today. Bert Lahr, comediar and star of the original Broadwaj hit, heads the cast of the talkie version, which also features th< comedienne, Charlotte Greenwood Prominent supporting parts ar< filled by Kathryn Crawford, Charle: Winninger, Hedda Hopper, Guj Kibbe and Herbert Braggioti. The picture was directed by Charles F Riesner, who filmed the first mtisica talkie, “The Broadway Melody,” anc has since achieved distinction as a comedy director for the Marie D r e s s 1 e r-Polly Moran laugh successes, "Politics,” "Reducing ’ and “Caught Short.” The story, which concerns the hilarious adventures of Rusty, madcap airplane inventor (played by Lahr) and his futile attempts to escape the clutches of Pansy, an amorous waitress (Miss Greenwood) is filled to the brim with humorous episodes. High spots include a spectacular aviation show which is concerned as much with beautiful chorus girls as with airplanes; the novel “Happy Landings” dance number, and the amusing examination of girl students for entrance into the aviation school. Song hits heard in the picture include "The First Time for Me,” written by George De Sylva, Lew Brown and Ray Henderson, who will be remembered for “Go Home and Tell Your Mother” among other hits. An extra added la ugh-feast has been arranged for Palace patrons in addition to the many hilarious sequences which will be enjoyed in the feature itseli. One of the shorter laugh novelties brings back those two children rollicking funsters, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, who will be seen in their latest gloom dispenser "One Good Turn,” in which they go through many complicating events to bring joy to others. Mary Carr and James Finlayson appear with Laurel and Hardy. Another subject containing plenty of laughs is "Wild and Woolly.” picturizing bucking bronches and wild steers, explained jovially by Pete Smith of “Fisherman’s Paradise” fame. The Hearst Metrotone News will round out the program. tt tt a

DAVIS AND HIS GANG NOW AT CIRCLE During the current week the Circle theater is offering a stage program headed by Charlie Davis and his Indiana theater Joy Gang. Davis, who is responsible for producing the show, also acts as master ot ceremonies. Band specialties, comedy sketches, and several locally booked acts are listed among the entertainment items. Slim Green, Negro entertainer, occupies a featured position during the week on the stage. In addition to Charlie Davis and his stage show, the Circle also is presenting the RKO-Radio picture entitled "Are These Our Children?” It has been written and directed by Wesley Ruggles, maker of “Cimarron.” A cast of younger players enact the leading roles. Among them are Eric Linden, Arline Judge, Ben Alexander. Rochelle Hudson, Mary Kornman, Roberta Gale and Robert Quirk. The adult roles are played by Beryl Mercer. William Orlamond, Robert McKenzie and Ralf Harolde. “Are These Our Children?” concerns an intimate group of high school pupils. Its central character is a boy who, although he enjoys all the benefits of a good family background, flirts with adventure that brings tragedy into his life. He emerges from that experience r super-egotist who jibes at life, the law and traditions until the conclusion finds him meek and contrite—too late. A news reel and comedy short talking films are other program features of the new week at the Circle. THRILLER STARTS* ITS SECOND WEEK Every once in a while, it is rumored. someone at Universal City. Cal., gets the order to “get out the cobwebs.” It is interpreted by those in charge that Universal is about to start production on a “shocker” picture, instead of clearing up one's brain, as would be the usual meaning of such a remark. The cobwebs have been taken out and returned, and another production is being shown, and it is supposed to give the theater-goer his annual “shock." The picture referred to is “Frankenstein,” based on the story of the same name by Mrs. Mary Wollstonecroft Shelley, which is playing in its second week at the Apollo. The producers of “Frankenstein,” it will be recalled, produced such “shocker” pictures as "The Phan-

Well Named Winnie Lightner’s next starring vehicle for Warner Bros, will be “She Means Business,” from an original play by Samuel Shipman, noted Broadway dramatist. This production will be directed by Lloyd Bacon and will be photographed in technicolor. It will start production in September.

Institute to Offer Exhibit Modern Masters in Great Collection to Be Brought Here. Preceding the important January showing of the Modern Masters of the late Lizzie P. Bliss, by only a month, the Petites Tuileries exhibition of paintings of the modern French school, now at the John Herron Art institute, will pave the way to greater understanding of the masters to be shown in January. By the terms of the will of Miss Bliss, daughter of Cornelius Bliss, secretary of the interior in the McKinley cabinet, the collection of work of such masters as Cezanne, Degas, Gkuguin, Picasso, Matisse and others will become the permanent property of the new Museum of Modern Art in New York, if certain requirements are met. Miss Bliss was a founder of the museum, with Mrs. John D. Rockefeller Jr. and Mrs. Cornelius J. Sullivan, formerly Miss Mary Quinn of Indianapolis. f It is partly through the influence of Mrs. Sullivan that the famous collection comes to Indianapolis, the only city in the middle west to haye it. When Miss Bliss bought the paintings and prints of these artists of the modern school more than fifteen years ago, she was all but laughed at. Not an artist herself, her judgment nevertheless proved to be good. Today the works of these artists are held to be modem classics, and Miss Bliss’. collection is described as one of the finest of its kind in the country. The present exhibition of “Petites Tuileries,” now at the Herron museum, is the second venture of this sort undertaken by the College Art Association. The exhibition is so-named because the majority of paintings on exhibition were selected from those shown during July and August at the Paris Exposition des Tuileries. However, although the paintings were collected in Paris by painters who live and work there, they are not, necessarily, the work of French artists. Included are the paintings of Bosshard, Benatov, Tal Coat, Kisling and Charlemange, whose work shows considerable talent.

Art Institute

A special exhibition of the work i of students in the John Herron Art! School was sent yesterday to Lexington, Ky., to be shown in the! University of Kentucky for a period of three weeks. The loan was made at the request i of Edward Warder Rannells, art j director of the university, who visit- 1 ed the Herron Art School last summer during the period this exhibition was on display here. The exhibition includes thirtyfive water colors by third and fourth year students, most of whose training hasr been under Paul Hadley, instructor in water color painting at the Herron school. Hadley’s own exhibition of water colors, painted at Madison, Ind., this summer, will remain on view at the school/or another two weeks. Miss Shover said. Through Robert E. Burke, art department head of Indiana university, the university has purchased one of Mr. Hadley's water colors to add to its permanent collection. Following the Hadley exhibition, the next showing of importance will be the work" of a small group of members of the Alumni Association. These will be on display at the school about November 15. Here Are Two Old Friends When Ruth Renick and Edward Hearn met on the set of Joan Crawford's “Possessed” at Metro-Gold-wyn-Mayer it was as old friends. They w r ere co?stars of “The Fire Bride" ten years ago. This was the first picture ever to be made in the South Seas. “Possessed” was directed by Clarence Brown. Clark Gable, Wallace Ford and “Skeets” Gallagher are in the cast. tom of the Opera.” “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” “Cat and the Canary,” ‘The Man Who Laughs,” and lastly, "Dracula.” tt tt tt COMEDY NOW ON VIEW AT THE OHIO Joe E. Brown is the star of “Local Boy Makes Good,” a First NationalVitaphone picture, which opened Friday at the Ohio for a week’s showing. Brown's role in "Local Boy Makes Good" is said to be somewhat dissimilar to his previous screen work in that it depends less on slapstick exaggerations than did his former appearances. The wide-mouthed comedian impersonates a timid, selfeffacing, near-sighted college student. RKO's short reel. “Facing the Gallows.” and a Bimbo cartoon are among the added attractions.

ROUNDING ROUND T'l-TTT A HPTT T? Q with Walter 1 illjn. I Lilvo D. HICKMAN

THINGS from a legitimate theater standpoint are picking up as Charles Berkell has definitely announced that he will open a stock season at Keith’s on Monday night, Dec. 28. Along with this comes the assuring new-s from Vincent Burke at English's that Billy Rose's “Crazy Quilt” with Fannie Brice, Phil Baker and Ted Heely will play here for two days, the tentative dates being Jan. 4-5. Berkell, w r ho has been in town making final arrangements with Henry K. Burton of Keith's, w'as scheduled to leave today for New York to finish completely his company and buy plays for his season.

iiiuaii L/UiiipicLciy company anu i I asked him how long his season would last and he said, “As long as the people want us.” I know that Berkell is making every effort to give Indianapolis a good stock company. Both his leading man and leading woman will be new to Indianapolis but there wall be several names well known to Berkell patrons from former seasons. Berkell will announce the members of his company as soon as he returns from New York. Rehearsals will start on Monday, Jan. 21. Let me know what plays you would like to see Berkell present at Keith’s. Write me a letter and let me know. Burke at English’s tells me that we have a good chance to get Earl Carroll's Vanities which is now on view in Chicago. * tt a Nelson Trowbridge of Cincinnati, 0., writes me that Arthur Casey, who closed a stock season at English's in September and then went to Houston, Tex., wil lopen Christmas night at the Cox theater, managed by Trowbridge, with Guy Bates Post as the guest star. The play will probably be “The Play’s the Thing.” I understand that Casey is closing in Houston. Luck to him in Cincinnati. V tt tt Now is the time that the movie critics choose their ten best movies, those released from Nov. 1, 1930, to Oct. 31, 1931. Thi sannual selection is sponsored by Film Daily, New York City, and is watched very closely by critics, the actor, producer and even the public. My ten best list is as follows: “Alexander Hamilton," "Cimarron,” "City Lights,” "Connecticut Yankee,” “Five Star Final,” “Min and Bill,” “Street Scene,” “Free Soul,” "Little Caesar" and “Sin of Madelon Claudet.” tt u t> The Brookside Players tonight at ;7:30 o'clock will present three one- ; act plays at the Brookside communI ity house under the direction of I David Milligan of the Civic Theater who received the award for being the best director in the Municipal Drama Tourney.

Previews

“Goldie,” Fox production, costarring Spencer Tracy and Warren Hymer, with Jean Harlow. It will'' make a first rate program picture* - but neither the story, which is titled,, rather ambiguously, nor the cast are big enough to give it much of a chance. tt a tt “Heartbreak.” Fox production,'" with Charles Farrell, Madge Evans,‘7 Paul Cavanagh, Hardie Albright. There is little in “Heartbreak” toehold the attention of a audience. The gorgeous sets and technical perfection of the picture can not make up for the obvious,-long-drawn out much ado aboutpractically nothing. . a a “Heaven on Earth,” Universal production, starring Lew Ayres* with Anita Louise, Harry Beresford, Elizabeth Patterson. In our opin- - ion the discriminating adult audience will hand “Heaven On Earth,*' a polite yawn and conclude that Mr. Ziegfeld for what he did to “Sho^r f> Boat” should be given a monopoly on Mississippi river, rights. Thepic-*' ture has an hour-glass tempo whi#! t can not be offset by the beautiful photography, the marvelous storm effects, which offer the only thrill, , or the splendid performances offered by some members of the casfc.~
