T~XETECTIVES, crooks and innocent bystanders who act, talk and think the way such people do in real life are not too common in mystery stories. It is a pleasure, t icrefore, to report that "Hot Ice,” by Robert J. Casey, is simply full of them. It is, in fact, a detective story, written by a man who actually has seen real detectives and real murderers and who knows how to describe what he has seen. Asa result, it is a first-rate yarn. "Hot Ice” begins with the murder of a well-known Chicago jewel thief. There follow in rapid succession the murders of a barber, an inoffensive milkman, a kindly old lady, a young woman of doubtful morals, a cop—and I’m not certain but what there are two or three more. Anyway, the gore flows freely, and it develops in the end that a row over the disposition of several hundred thousand dollars’ worth of stolen jewels is largely responsible. And because Mr. Casey has been places and seen things, the book is one which ought to delight all mys-,-fcery story fans. It is published, by the way, by Bobbs-Mcrrill, and it costs $2. French gangsters—yes, it seems they have 'em over there —figure in "The Crossroad Murders," by Georges Simenon (Covici-Friede: s2.j Here we have a moderately exciting and puzzling tale about queer doings which center about a sinister country house. It begins with the finding of a corpse in a stolen auto, and it ends with a beautiful lady fighting a fake insurance salesman at the bottom of a cistern, and. for all I know, it maybe just the instrument with which you’ll want to kill an idle evening. ~ FACULTY RECITAL TO BE PRESENTED A faculty recital will be given at the Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music at 8 Thursday night in the Odeon. The program will be presented by Thomas Poggiani, violinist, and Clarence Loomis, pianist, with comments on the sonatas by Max T. Krone.

Reeitativo-Fantasio. Alleßretto poco mosso.

Berrv Books Cantor and 4' Jessel for the Circle Noted Stage Entertainers and Famous Band Will Make Two Appearances in This City Thursday, March 23. By WALTER D. HICKMAN ACE BERRY seems to be getting into his stride at once as he blossoms "out with the statement that he has booked in person Eddie Cantor, George Jessel, Bennip Marofl and his band and other entertainers. This all-star organization comes to the Circle theater for a matinee and night performance on Thursday, March 23. According to Berry, this means the dropping of the regular Circle movie show for one day only. This Jessel, Cantor, MarofT unit is touring the country, making many one-day engagements, such as Harry Lautler has made for years on his “farewell tours.”

The large seating capacity of the Circle makes this theater the logical place in which to present the stars,

Jr

Berry contends. Since Cantor has made such a big radio audience with his weekly broadcasts, it is felt that this tour will be a recordbreaker from an audience standpoint. Berry points out that the one-day appearance of the stars will only change the movie program of the Circle for one day.

Eddie Cantor

_At the Indiana on Monday, Feb. 27. Berry will present many of the stars in the new movie. “Forty-sec-ond Street,” for an afternoon and night appearance. These stars, including Bebe Daniels, will arrive on a special train on Monday. It seems that Berry will have enough stars around him for a few days anyway.

u a a MARY HAYNES AGAIN RETURNS TO THE LYRIC Once {nore Mary Haynes, a vaudeville institution of song and character sketches, is back at the Lyric, and she is the big bright spot of the current bill. Miss Haynes is a stage personality. I have met her off stage and she is a person to be considered.

She is always Mary Haynes whether she is on or off stage. She has experienced and has gone thru successfully the change from what was called the “big time” to four and five a day. And I never have heard this woman complain. She always gives a show and begs off doing too many encores by stating that her next number is a dance with seven

Mary Haynes

veils. “I just can’t do it because I have lost six of the veils.” Then after a short pause—“l know you can see thru that one.” She doesn’t change her material so very much nor her method. Remember she is Mary Haynes. Three youngsters appear as “The Three Hill Billies” as another vaudeville act. I do not care for this type of entertainment whether they be children or grownups. You have your own tastes. I missed the opening act. Raynor Lehr and his vaudeville stock company is nearing the end of their run. They have one more week to go at the Lyric. This week Lehr is doing a modified version of what seems to be “The Girl in the Limousine,” a very ancient farce which was supposed to be funny and dirty years ago. In the hands of Lehr the present version is neither. To me it is tame and crude bedroom entertainment. It is the specialty numbers that make the hit again with the Lehr unit—the quartet, the two singing boys as well as the accordion player and the violinist. The chorus is doing nice work. The movie is George O’Brien in “Smoke Lightning.” Now at the Lyric. Other theaters today offer: “The Mystery of the Wax Museum,” at the Circle; 'The King's Vacation,” at the Indiana; “What, No Beer?” at the Palace; “State Fair,” at the Apollo; “Young Woodley,” at the Playhouse; “The Sport Parade,” at the Belmont, and “Fast Life,” at the Talbott. CONSIDERING A GOOD CONCERT The Indianapolis Maennerchor and Heinrich Schlusnus, German baritone, presented a varied and colorful program at the Acadamy of Music last night. Schlusnus sang a delightful range of songs, sweeping from the smooth, peaceful “Wanderers Nachtlied” of Schubert’s to the operatic heights of Hugo Wolf's “Abschied.” He

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

| seemed to enjoy this change of j tempo. At any rate, I was greatly i impressed by the manner in which he threw Himself into his renditions. Schlusnus began with a Schubert i group. This included the ponderous | “Der Atlas.” It concluded with the I martial, almost snappy “Der Musen- ! sohn,” which Schlusnus did in grand manner. The male chorus followed with a well chosen group of three songs which blended into a pattern of color and ended with the magnificent “Der Mond Ist Aufgegangen.” j Schlusnus next sang a group from Brahms. He was really thriling in “Tambourliedchen,” and I think that it was in this group and the one following that I saw the personality of the man. He was powerful, not only In what he gave out, but in what he retained. Although most of the compositions on last night’s program were short, I am sure that Schlusnus would be just as intriguing as "Tristram.” The “Epiphanias” was very light, free and catching. But in the singing of “Abschied” was I most conscious of being in the presence ol an artist. Then in the last group which Schlusnus sang, a Strauss group, I felt let down, not roughly nor rudely, but gently and with a nice, comfortable feeling. I was glad that Schlusnus ended with “Geduld.” It left a good taste in one’s mouth. I was almost sorry the audience called for an encore. It seems to me that it would be • a gross injustice not to mention the enthusiasm and spirit shown by j Franz Rupp, the versatile and hardworking little accompanist. He j helped, in no small way, to give charm and finesse to Schlusnus' selections.—(By the Observer.)
