GARBO SHUTS UP HER CRITICS THIS TIME Swedish Star in Pirandello’s 'As You Desire Me* Proves That She Has the Spark of Great Genius. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN YETELL. I am one critic that Greta Garbo has shut up for awhile. and It was not her work in "Grand Hotel" that did the trick. Garbo* unquestionably great and powerful love emotional work in Luigi | Pirandello's "As You Desire Me" causes me to admit that this woman is I not a mere fad and a shallow actress. but the nearest approach to the Sarah Bernhardt method of acting that we have ever had on the screen. I rather rebelled at her Anna Christie, because the world got excited over the question, "Whether Garbo could talk.” I did not consider her Anna that i- .
of the author's idea. Her dancer
in “Grand Hotel," left me cold and more convinced than ever that she was not really a great soul actress. Not come “As You Desire Me” and my admission that nobody can touch her on the screen for this t y p e of emotional w o r k. There is a vast difference opinion regarding the value of her work in “Grand Hotel.”
Greta Garbo
Some dramatic editors in New York hailed her as more magmflcier.t than Eugenie Leontovich. I can not agree to that. I judge an actress by her individual work in each picture and then try to strike an average verdict as to her acting worth. But the supreme excellence, that sudden terriffe shot of genious that she gives her work in her latest picture, erases all doubt as to her acting ability. I am now a Garbo fan. Never have been before. And now my mail will no longer be filled by letters charging me with “defaming the work of the greatest artist of all times” will cease. I will not go that far. but she wins in this picture. Garbo this time gives definite character touches to her work. When she is wearing the blonde wig as a questionable entertainer in a case at Budapest. You seem to look into the troubled and seared soul of the woman who was under the cruel and evil influences of Raltcr > Erich Von St rohrinri). Then when she is mistaken as the missing wife of Count Bruno 'Melvyn Douglas and enters his estate as a masquerader, Garbo is supreme at soul housecleaning. Never have I seen such trcmenously fine and careful work. The cast is subserviant to every gesture and mood of Garbo and there is less of Von Stroheim than ever. But, Garbo is supreme and deserves the over emphasies. This is Garbo's supreme triumph to date. Now at the Palace. * m a RADIO STARS DRAW AT THE INDIANA Actors or "voices” of the air have their following just the same as stage and movie stars. I realized that when many of the ether entertainers appeared on the Indiana stage on the opening day of
the engagement of the WLW All Star Radio Revue. The very second that it was intimated that Hink and Dink, the blackface minstrel entertainers of the air were waiting to go on the audience went wild. The material of Hink and Dink is aged, but their showmanship is good. The late Eddie Foy told me
Marguerite Churchill
that a joke had to be ten years old before an audience would roar. He must be right and Hink and Dink must have talked to Eddie. Then the children in the audience got all wild when Old Man Sunshine and his toy band appeared. This man is an artist and has splendid material for his audience. Several women back of me cried for joy when he started his children’s prayer. They knew s.vd Ten Eyck, the chief Doodlesocker: Dave Roberta and his banjo and The Threesome, three clever harmony singers. The Threesome have a good Negro spiritual number with a novelty interlude.

The musical background is furnished by Murray Horton and his band. These radio entertainers have wisely kept the studio idea and do not try too seriously to be actors. A locally trained chorus dances on for several numbers to give the act the production idea. The movie is Sari Maritza in “Forgotten Commandments.” Write your own review of this picture and I will print the one I like best, Marquerite Churchill is in the cast. Now at the Indiana. mam CONCERNING BAXTER IN “MAN ABOUT TOWN” “Man About Town” belongs to what I call the school of dress suit actiry?, because the leads are in formal attire most of the time. The beginning of the picture is sure dressed up as the scenes are laid in a swell Washington (D. C.) gambling house, and then shifts to a great embassy, where a formal ball is going on. You are chiefly con-
cerned at first with the decline of a good-looking chap, played by Warner Baxter, who has turned his ancestral home into a diplomatic gambling joint. He and Conway Tearle have been friends for years. Os course, Conway intends to marry a beautiful creature, a relative of an ambassador. But. Baxter had had an affair with
Warner Baxter
her before. The natural result. Both men become enemies when Tearle is given the gate. Then the story becomes very melodramatic. Baxter gives up his gambling joint and returns to the secret service. Os course, he is placed under the command of Tearle. And Tearle sends his former friend after a "killer.” From then oh we have suspense and some fairly good melodrama, although the story makes a number of detours before the climax is reached. You must consider this one as rather far-fetched melodrama, not as realism. The acting of the principals is interesting if not always brilliant. The story does move and I believe it will hold your interest. Now at the Apollo. sms HERE IS GOOD STUDY OF EARLY MARRIAGE I believe that there will be as many verdicts on “Young Bride” with Helen Twelvetrees and Eric Linden as the newlyweds as people who see it. But as I record my own ideas and reactions, I will go out on the
firing line and tell you that I had a great sentimental time watching these two adjust themselves in marriage. The fact is Miss Twelvetrees does not apply very much sweet molasses to her characterization of the straight little children's s t o r y teller io a great city library who falls for a bragging he-flapper
Helen Twelvetrees
as played with a lot of selfish pomp by Eric Linden. Miss Twelvetrees is natural and convincing as the girl who suddenly finds that marriage nine times out of ten is not romance but a working, every-day fact. It takes a terrific jolt to put some common itense into Erics head, but he had the ground to receive the Idea. Before the picture was over I was suffering terribly with Helen and
THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
NEGRO IS REDS' I NOMINEE FOR VICE-PRESIDENT William Z. Foster's Running Mate Is Grandson of Lynched Georgian. By United Prm CHICAGO, May 30.—The nation’s Communist party today started the most ambitious presidential campaign in its history on a six-part . platform bitterly attacking the warhunger program of a Hoover government.” With William Z. Footer, the presidential nominee, and James W. Ford. Negro candidate for VicePresident. as the party’s standard bearers, the Communists hape to attract 1.000,000 votes in November. ”We'll be lucky if the election officials count half of them.” declared Foster. “But not that it matters, because Communism is growing in j spite of capitalism, or rather because of it.” The party concluded its convention in a West Chicago avenue auditorium Sunday night, when more than 1.000 delgates. including 100 Negroes, concurred in the program condemning as demagogues the Republicans. Democrats ar,d Socialists. The six planks in their platform demanded elimination of “capitalist : terror," condemned an impending ; “imperialist war,” and asked unemployment insurance, emergency relief for impoverished farmers, equal rights for Negroes "in the black belt,” and abandonment of the Hoover wage-cutting policy.” Candidate Foster will campaign largely in the south, while Ford,! whose grandfather was lynched in Georgia, said he would confine his vote-getting to northern states. hating Eric. I guess the picture wins when it can get this reaction. There is no gunplay, murder or rackets in this movie. Just a comfortable, rather too true story of the i struggle of a modern young couple to get started on the marriage trial. I I liked it. Be your own judge. Now at the Circle. u k m Other theaters today offer: Billy Purl and his thirty people revue on the stage at the Lyric, with “Cohens and the Kellys in Hollywood" on the 1 screen. Keith’s has closed its season. Berkell will opn a fall season somei time late in August if his present plans are carried out.
RIDE in all THREE —but don’t buy any car till you’ve had a Floating Power ride"
MAKE COMPARISONS WITH ALL THREE LOWEST-PRICED CARS AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF, URGES WALTER P. CHRYSLER I KNOW you’re going to look around this summer before you buy any lowpriced car. You should. In times like these, you’re wise to weigh values carefully and demand the most for your money. That’s why I want you to compare this new Plymouth with the other two lowestpriced cars. I want you to see how much longer and bigger and roomier the new Plymouth is. Why, we’re even building a big sevenpassenger sedan with 121-inch wheelbase. Check up on the engineering, too. Try to match the modern features of the new Plymouth in either of the other two cars. It has the very finest. Floating Power, Free Wheeling, Hydraulic Brakes, Easy-Shift Transmission with Silent Second—all of them. I promise you the surprise of your life in Plymouth’s Floating Power. You’ll find that vibration no longer exists. You’ll marvel at the smoothness of the Plymouth. After ten minutes at the wheel, I think you’ll agree with me that any car without patented Floating Power is out-of-date.
Joins Circus
Seeking first-hand information for a novel of circus life, Mrs. Alton Brody, only daughter of Irwin S. Cobb, humorist, joined the Barnum Bailey circus at Washington. D. C., for a weeks “engagement.” Mrs. Brody, widely known in social circles as a horsewoman, is pictured here in her big-top debut atop Oscar, her mount in the opening parade. Cobb said he was “delighted.”
