LLOYD’S LATEST IS HIS BEST TALKER
Laurel and Hardy Go to War in ‘Pack Up Your Troubles’; ‘Bill of Divorcement’ Is a Really Great Movie. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN IN my opinion “Movie Crazy” is the best vehicle that Harold Lloyd has had since sound became an important part of the movies. I am basing my opinion on the fact that Lloyd this time does not only have three great comedy scenes of great length in “Movie Crazy,” but the story flings some hot shots at the Hollywood movie colony. The biggest scene in this story of an awkward country boy breaking into the movies of course is the fight episode near the end of the picture in which Lloyd fights one of the funniest comedy battles in water that I have ever seen.
This scene shows a ship being flooded with water as the villain threatens death to the fair heroine. ! Lloyd causes a lot of trouble, grief and headaches when he messes up this scene on the movie lot. To me
the funniest episode in this movie is when Lloyd loses his shoe in a rain storm and then attempts to lift the top of an auto to help a lady in distress. If this isn’t about the height of resourceful and clean comedy, then I don’t know what I am talking about. The third important scene, and one that the majority
Harold Lloyd
in the audience will remember for weeks, is the reception scene, when Lloyd accidentally gets the “spiked coat” of a magician. Meaning that the magician had the coat loaded with white mice and rats, a pigeon, a rabbit, a chicken and the like. As Lloyd dances with a majestic old society matron, he unconsciously releases all the magician's pets. I know that this episode actually rocked the theater when I was present. I will say that Constance Cummings, Lloyd’s leading woman, photographs like a million, acts with case and is a great foil for the comedian. The photography is excellent. So 1 are the gags and the loads of funny business that Lloyd lets loose. Lloyd does not go in for breath , taking stunts this time, he has gone : in for pure comedy. And that is the reason I say that “Movie Crazy” is his best talker. Now at the Circle. ft tt tt CONCERNING ANTICS OF LAUREL AND HARDY By having two leading comedies in town at the same time, it is interesting to study the methods of Laurel and Hardy as well as Harold Lloyd. The fact is that Laurel,and Hardy must be considered as a team and not individually. Personally, I
would not care to see the dumb “pan meaning face of Laurel, without the grotesque physical awkwardness o f Hardy. You just can not separate the two. This week we have with us their second long feature, “Pack Up Your Troubles.” The story tells of Hardy and Laurel going tQ the World war'and on returnhome trying to find
Stan Laurel
I the grandparents of the child of one of their dead buddies. The child’s name is Smith and most the comedy is centered around Laurel and Hardy's dumb methods Os trying to find the right Smith. Although the laughs are spotted, there are some terrific comedy scenes. Especially when Laurel and Hardy get caught in the “mouth” |of war tank. The smartest comedy scene is the ! one when the child tells a bedtime story to Laprel and Laurel goes to sleep on the story. The child, Jacquie Lyn, is a cute youngster. With Laurel and Hardy it is the way they develop a comedy scene and so much the story. War comedies are not new because it is nearly impossible to get new situations but Laurel and Hardy by their methods make them look new. What the screen today needs is many good laughs and Laurel and | Hardy are doing their share. Now at the Palace. a a >t HERE IS SOME REALLY GREAT ACTING I want to go on record by telling you that John Barrymore is doing his greatest movie acting in “A Bill of Divorcement.” This is the first time on the screen as the insane man who re- ! gains his sanity that Barrymore has
ever made me feel that he was 'a great actor on the screen. He seems to have regained his marvelous dramatic power which was nearly always apparenti on the speaking stage. I am going to admit that Barrymore and Billie Burke nearly threw me out of my seat when Barrymore is pleading with his
JSSSSs**' SSSfeMI * J |
Billie Burke
• “wife” not to let him down, not to | let him be insane again because he can not have her. I admit that I had to shake my head in a daze and ; I it took me some time to come out of I the tremendous spell of Barrymore’s acting. And I know that I am going to include Barrymore acting in this picture as one of the ten honor performances of the present season. I saw "A Bill of Divorcement” on the stage years ago and I can tell you that it is just as powerful in the hands of Barrymore and Billie j Burke as on the stage. The only j j fault I can find is that the director j has given the story a sort of a

Hollywood beginning, but the few’ seconds the story gets started, the picture is a masterpiece of direction and acting. I am glad to say that Bilile Burke is guilty of great dramatic acting, especially in her confused scenes in which she wavers between duty and love. Also watch the work of Katherine Hepburn all the way through the picture, especially when she learns tha* insanity runs through her father's family. I am not asking you to like “A Bill of Divorcement.” I am asking you to see it because it is one of the most powerful dramatic experiences the screen has given us in ten years. Now at the Apollo. u a ROBINSON’S ACTING SAVES THIS MOVIE It must be admitted that the powerful and sincere acting of Edward G. Robinson as the one-armed Portuguese fisherman who rules his men w r ith savage power one second and then becomes their benefactor
the next saves “Tiger Shark” from being just another movie. The story is not a pleasant one, as the character played by Robinson is a manysided one. He sacrifices one of his arms to save Pipes (Richard Arlen) from being eaten by the sharks. And then as the story is nearly over, he tosses * Pipes to
& Y.tgaßk
the sharks, when he discovers Pipes and his wife carrying on an affair. And this outburst of madness cast the captain’s life because the sharks ate too deep that time. And I must concede that Robinson does some really great character work, but’ the story is so melodramatic and cruel at times that it rather got on my nerves. Credit must go to the camera man and the director in getting some wonderful ocean shots. These shots, showing the actual killing of sharks and the catching of fish are tremendously beautiful ones. A really fine photographic accomplishment. I found the acting of the entire cast effective, except the work of Zita Johnson as the wife of Mike (Robinson). She seemed to me to be stilted and at times' totally indifferent. Maybe this is just your type of picture. If so, all so well and good. You know my idea. Now at the Indiana. Other theaters today offer “As Husbands Go" at the Civic and Seger Ellis at the Lyric.

Frenzied Rush Is Under Way for Pressed Glass Treasures
Following is another of the series of articles appearing each Monday in The Times, written by Mrs. C. O. Robinson. 4517 Central avenue. She tells you of hobbles, stamps, antiques and other Interesting subjects. BY MRS. C. O. ROBINSON THE most complimentary thing that can be said about pressed glass is that it is being copied widely. Leading glass manufacturers are putting out complete sets in the old patterns. The Heisey factory. I understand, has many of the old molds used in a small town second-hand stored some high-footed fruit dishes. Later I discovered, in a 5 and 10-cent store, what I thought was the same thing. It developed that a factory in Ohio was using the original molds in reproducing the old pattern. While it was difficult, at a glance, to tell the difference, a careful study determined that the old glass was of a blue cast and full of bubbles. The reproduction was yellow and clear. It was very interesting and I was relieved to find that my treasures were the originals. The bread plate, usually bearing the inscription, “Give us this ,day our daily bread,” is one of the most popular pieces of pressed glass. The one pictured with the lion medallion is, in my opinion, very handsome. I have another, in the sunburst pattern, but it isn’t nearly so attractive. The lion pattern is very distinctive in all the various pieces. The lion looks so fierce and Impressive as the handle of the compote cover. tt tt tt THIS pattern has been found only in crystal (clear glass) with the lions frosted, but some patterns are found in colors as well as crystal and sometimes in milk glass, which is an opaque white.

Dish and bread plate of pressed glass,
panel-footed dish, illustrated, is in Vaseline, a delightful tone of yellow. The old pattern nam's are so quaint and descriptive—dew and • raindrop, hobnail. Jacob’s ladder, thumb-print, festoon, pressed leaf* —can’t you picture the patterns from the names? It is a most peculiar thing that the trend of fashion should return to those old types of glass that our grandmothers liked, and our mothers spurned for the newer cut glass. Now you couldn’t give away a barrel of cut glass and our mother's daughters are dashing around the country using up gasoline and tires to buy back the glass of grandmother’s day. Will our children want the cut glass? Who knows? a a m IT seems strange to us that our mothers could have been so foolish as to discard pressed glass, but, unfortunately, it was not held in very high esteem, even by the makers, for they kept scant record of it. Recently, however, several authentic books have been written
and ten additional prizes of two guest tickets each for the best gags submittted for their next picture. “Gags” are anything which will make an audience laugh, and may consist of dialog/ action or a combination of them. Any one can enter the contest. It’s suggested that you see “Pack Up Your Troubles,” so that you will be thoroughly familiar with the kind of gags Laurel and Hardy want. Then write out from one to five gags and send them to the Gotta Gag Editor of The Times, being sure to have your entry postmarked
about it, and an attempt made to classify the different kinds as to make and name. It is thought that the first pressed glass was made in 1836 and the first pressed glass factory with any authentic history was at Sandwich, Mass. For that reason much of the pressed glass was called Sandwich glass, even if it was not made there. To Be correct, however, it all should be called pressed glass. The product of the Sandwich factory was very fine, but many other glass manufacturing plants made good pressed glass. Later, some factories attempted to imitate cut glass and flooded the market with a cheap and inferior product, so when the Sandwich factory closed in 1888, the vogue of pressed glass was about over. The short life of pressed glass manufacture make the search for it doubly fascinating, for you must remember: There’s one thing; wrone with old pressed glass. And you'll admit the truth; The folks at Sandwieh failed to make Their treasures shatter proof. before midnight of Friday, Oct. 7, when the contest closes. Writers of the winning gags will be announced in The Times as soon thereafter as possible. This showing at the Palace is absolutely your one and only chance to see this Laurel and Hardy vehicle in this city. It never will be shown in any other Indianapolis theater at any other time.
