GARBO PLAYS ROLE OF CAFE ENTERTAINER IN NEW MOVIE

‘Forgotten Commandments,’ With Sari Maritza, European Actress, in the Cast. Is Now Film Feature on New Bill at the Indiana. FLLOWING close upon the heels of "Grand Hotel.” Greta Garbo her latest appearance on the screen in "As You Desire Me.’’ fllmlxation of the widely-discussed Luigi Pirandello play which was presented on Broadway last season. The picture opened Friday at Loew s Palace. “As You Desire Me” is Garbo’s seventeenth production in this country, marking the close of her sixth year on the screen since 1926. when she was brought from Sweden to the United States to make her debut in "The Torrent.” George Fltzmaunce, responsible for such cinema successes as "Mata

Hari” and "Strangers May Kiss," directed the new Garbo film and is said to have mounted the picture with a wealth of beautiful settings and natural backgrounds. William Daniels, who has photographed all of Garbo’s pictures, again was behind the camera and the star's costumes were designed by Gilbert Adrian, who has achieved an enviable reputation for his ability to create striking gowns for the exotic Swedish actress. In "As You Desire Me,” Garbo plays the role of a Budapest case entertainer whose remarkable resemblance to a woman believed to be dead brings about an amazing dramatic conflict. Melvyn Douglas, who played opposite Gloria Swanson in “Tonight or Never,” has the leading male role as the Italian nobleman, Count Bruno, who accepts Zara, the case singer, as the wife whom he believed to have been killed by invaders during the World war. The renowned character actor, Erich Von Stroheim, enacts the role of Salter, a malignant novelist, who seeks to prevent Zara from wrestmg free of his lecherous grasp. An important role is also filled by Owen Moore as the man who discovers Zara in the case and causes her to masquerade as another man’s wife. Also supporting Garbo in "As You Desire me” are Hedda Hopper, Rafaela Ottiano, Warburton Gamble. Albert Conti, William Ricciardi and Roland Varno, locations on the magnificent Gillespie estate at Santa Barbara and scenes filmed off Laguna representing the "Feast of Midsummer,” celebrated by Italian lovers, bring gorgeous scenery’ into the background of the story. The latest isstie of the Hearst metrotone news and selected fcaturettes will complete the program. a a a “MAN ABOUT TOWN” NOW AT THE APOLLO "Man About Town.” late Fox production depicting behind-the-scenes life in Washington. D. C.. said to be rich in romance and abounding in thrills, is appearing currently on the screen of the Apollo theater, where it will remain through Thursday, next. Containing the elements of mystery, intrigue and jealousy, the new film relates the story of two men whose friendship was ironclad until both fell in love with the same girl. It is then that one of the men sets out to destroy the other by sending him to his death. Warner Baxter, recently seen in “Amateur Daddy” and remembered for his portrayals in "Daddy Long Legs,” appears in the leading role, that of society patron, sportman and later a member of the diplomatic service. And as the lover of the beautiful heroine, Baxter is said to be sincere and convincing. Karen Morley, little known on the screen until seen in “Arsene Lupin” with John and Lionel Barrymore, plays the leading feminine role as the young woman who averts an international scandal, but gets herself into serious trouble. Conway Tearle. who recently returned to the screen after a vacation spent on the stage, also has one of the featured roles. Others in the cast are Lillian Bond. Alan Mowbray, Leni Stengel. Lawrence Grant and Halliwell Hobbes. John Francis Dillon directed "Man About Town” from an adaptation of the novel by Dennison Clift. Short subjects of the program include Harry Barris in "He’s a Honey,” Fox Movietone News and Vitaphone Varities. m m a SPECIAL FEATURES NOW AT THE CIRCLE A special Speedway week program, including RKO Pathe’s allstar fUm, "Young Bride,’’ the thir-ty-minute featurettc titled “Heli Below Zero,” a Dessa Byrd organ novelty, comedy short reel, and a new Paramount sound news, is being offered currently at the Circle theater. With prominent roles portrayed by Helen Twelvetrees, Eric Linden. Arline Judge, Roscoe Ates, Cliff Edw’ards, Polly Waters and Blanche Friderici, "Young Bride" depicts youth's struggle for real happiness in a big city. The story revolves mainly about a girl who might be the wholesome miss next door to any one. and her fight to make a success of a romance that gets off to a bad start. The resources to the combined RKO studio 6 were given somewhat of a drain in an effort to make "Young Bride” among the outstanding of the season's cinematic output. Imposing settings, including the interior of a flrst-class Atlantic City hotel, a typical Nevr York taxi dance hall, a public library and a complete Hudson river steamboat were erected.

ROUNDING ROUND TUI7 A r TT7DQ with WALTER I ULn 1 r>l\o D. HICKMAN

THE season of the Berkell Players at Keith’s theater will be brought to a close with the final performance tonight of Ferenc Molnar’s new comedy. "The G'od Fairy.” From the present indications Indianapolis will be without legitimate theatrical fare during the summer months, but Charles Berkell states that his company will return for the fall and winter season, opening the

latter part of August. Several factors enter Into Berkell’s decision to close at this time, rather than to venture into the summer. Chief among them Is the admitted scarcity of new plays suitable for presentation by dramatic stock companies, of which there are now but thirty operating throughout the country. The play situation, in Berkell’s opinion, will be considerably relieved by the time the new season rolls around, for the reason that many good plays, recently produced In New York but not yet released to stock companies will then be available, as will a portion of the plays that will be staged in the metropolis during the summer. Berkell’s N company opened at Keith’s last December and is closing the season on his twenty-sec-ond week. When it is recalled that Arthur Casey company operated in Indianapolis for twenty-four weeks last summer, It will be seen that within a year the city has had forty-six weeks of dramatic stock entertainment, serving to exhaust a large crop of the available plays of recent vintage. "I have faith in the future of the dramatic stock branch of theatricals, and I look forward vjith pleasure to returning to Indianapolis, confident in the belief thai this city is a good field, and that my company will be given satisfactory support by the great number of Indianapolis people who still find their chief recreation in the legitimate theater,” Berkell states. a a a MISS ADELAIDE HALL, the dusky daughter of Harlem, better known to radio listeners as “The Crooning Blackbird,” is announced as the headliner for the Lyric week of June 4. Miss Hall comes direct from a season of triumph in New York’s famous Cotton Club and brings 'with her two corking colored musicians who preside at the piano during her act. Adelaide Hall has toured in vaudeville in America and Europe for many years and has also been featured in many colored shows, Including "Brown Buddies” and "The Blackbirds.” Both shows featured Bill Robinson. The Lyric management announces two headliner attractions for the week beginning Saturday, June 11. It will be home-coming week for the popular Hoosier radio stars, Jim and Walt.
