WILLIE AND EUGENE HOWARD TOP CAST OF ‘SCANDALS’

Clark Gable and Jean Harlow Return to the Palace for Another Showing on the Screen in ‘Red Dust’: New Bennett Movie at the Apollo. WILL T E AND EUGENE HOWARD are starred in the latest edition of George White's "Scandals” which will be presented on the stage of the Indiana theater for five days, starting Sunday. They have been in many Broadway shows and have added to their popularity by appearances on the air and in screen subjects. Others in the “Scandals” cast include Eleanore Powell, the Loomis Sisters. Melissa Mason, Helen Gordon. Ross McLean, Joseph Vitale, Julia Gorman, James Howard, Edna Pence, Alice Carleton, Florence Healey, Marian ODay, and the famous George White Broadway beauties.

Lew Brown and Ray Henderson are responsible for the song hits in “Scandals,” including the popular hit, “Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries.” George White, Lew Brown and Irving Caesar wrote the sketches, and Joseph Urban created the stage settings. This edition of the “Scandals” has the largest number of chorus girls of any of the previous edi- j tions. They were selected personally bv George White. On the screen will be presented “Parachute Jumper," starring Douglas Fairbanks Jr., and Bette Davis. Others in this fast-moving drama are Leo Carrillo, Claire Dodd and Frank McHugh. It is a Warner Brothers picture. a a a “RED DUST” RETURNS TO PALACE “Red Dust,” last season's drama, starring Clark Gable and Jean Harlow, which opened its return engagement at Loews Palace Friday.: is the dramatic story of life in the I rubber plantations of Indo-China. I The plot of "Red Dust” revolves' about a triangle which results when a young French engineer brings his bride of a few weeks to a rubber plantation settlement. Gable is east as a hardened, brutal rubber plantation overseer who falls in love with a girl, Vantine, portrayed by Miss Harlow. Gene Raymond, as the engineer, comes to the plantation to lay some roads through the jungle, bringing with him his wife, played by Mary Astor. Gable falls in love with Miss Ast(v and the savage fight for a man b 'ns between Miss Harlow and Miss Astor. Donald Crisp is seen as the former overseer of the plantation, and it is through his wish for revenge that the plot is brought to an abrupt finish. Tully Marshall plays one of Gable's aids. Forrester Hervey is cast as the ''limey” riverboatman and Willie Fung is seen as the Chinese cook. Victor Fleming directed the production for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer from the John Mahin adaptation of Wilson Collison's stage play. Hal Roach’s Taxi Boys, in their newest comedy entitled ‘“Taxi for Two,” featuring Ben Blue; a James Fitz Patrick travel-talk on “Norway”; a Flip the Frog cartoon novelty, “Nursemaid," and the happenings of the world as pictured by the latest issue of the Hearst Metrotone News, round out the program. tt tt a “WOMAN ACCUSED” NOW AT THE CIRCLE “The Woman Accused," the Para-mount-Liberty Magazine all-star story written by ten nationally-fa-mous authors, has been booked for the Circle Theater, where it opened Friday. On the stage is being presented Mercedes, of telepathy fame, in his first visit to Indianapolis in many years. Assisting him is Mile. Stantone. He bewilders his audience by having Mile. Stantone play any piece that a member of the audience whispers to him. She sits at a piano j blindfolded, and he wanders among the audience. No conversation goes on between the two. In “The Woman Accused” Nancy Carroll, Cary Grant, Louis Calhern and John Halliday head the cast, j The action of the film centers j around Miss Carroll. On the eve | of her wedding to Grant, just as; they are about to sail on a week- j end cruise and be married at sea, I a former lover returns to her and demands that she come back to him.

She refuses flatly, and he, infuriated. phonos a gangster acquaintance, with the object of having Grant “bumped off.'’ But before h<j can give the order, Miss Carroll hits him over the head with a bronze figurine. She is horrified to discover that she has killed him. Halliday, a friend of the dead man. follows when she flees aboard the boat with Grant, and spends the voyage trying to dig up evidence incriminatiijg her. He is almost successful until Grant steps in. In a dramatic climax, he clears Nancy of all guilt, and carries her off to freedom and safety. This program also includes two very unusual short subjects,a hilarious burlesque on “Grand Hotel,” titled “Nothing Ever Happens" and anew travel talk “King Salmon,’ with dialogue by Lowell Thomas. 0 0 it NEW JONES MOVIE AT ALAMO Buck Jones comes to the Alamo for three days, starting today, as another courageously stalwart son

Band Will Stay Here Next Week McKinney’s Orchestra Extends Engagement on Roof. McKinney’s Cotton Pickers are to be held over on the Indiana roof for another week. Along with the Cotton Pickers, the Indiana roof will retain the Creole floor show which it has been featuring since McKinney's came | here two weeks ago. Billy Bowen, director of the Cot- : ton Pickers, acts as master of ceremonies for the floor show and does i an eccentric tap routine during its I finale. He shares singing honors with Dave Wilborne, banjoist, and the orchestra’s trombone player. Cuba Austin has added some new tricks to his repertoire. The roof continues to operate each Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday nights with a combination ballroom and night club policy. of the golden west in his latest picture, “Sundown Rider.” Buck characterizes a youth who never forgets to repay an injury or a kindness, arid throughout the picture has numerous opportunities to right wrongs and punish the rascals who have done him harm. When he is unjustly branded on the chest for cattle thievery, Jones defends his reputation against terrific odds, but not until he has put up a desperate fight with a merciless gang of ranchmen. Barbara Weeks plays an important role and is cast as the sweetheart of Jones. tt tt a CAGNEY RETURNS IN “HARD TO HANDLE'* James Cagney, the red-headed star, is back again in anew comeback role in “Hard to Handle,” showing at the Terminal Sunday and Monday. Although grapefruit plays a prominent part in the picture, Jimmie has given over his habit of squirting it in Milady’s eye, or even of socking some fair dame in the "kisser.” NEW BENNETT MOVIE AT APOLLO “Our Betters,” adaptation of W. Somerset Maugham's sophisticated drawing-room drama and starring Constance Bennett, is now on view at the Apollo. The picture will remain for one week’s engagement. Neither Connie nor her gowns, it has been said, have ever been lovlier, and hei histrionic talents disclose anew subtlety, equal to any role. Despite the fact that Miss Bennett is almost constantly on the screen, the picture Is not exclusively hers. The cast is imposing in number and importance, and Violet Kimble-Cooper, Anita Louise, Gilbert Roland, Grant Mitchell, Charles Starrett, Minor Watson, Phobe Foster and others are thought to be tremendously effective in an interesting assortment of characters. Miss Bennett portrays Lady Pearl Gravston, who said good-by to an American fortune when she turned it over to an English title. Lord Grayston, her husband, promptly squandered her money. She is provided for by Fenwich, a wealthy vulgarian who considers it a special privilege to squander his money on the cleverest hostess in England, as she remains r he social rage. During the many social functions, a situation arose that could easily have made her ridiculous and in time ruin her. However, Lady Grayston managed the affair in mag- ■ nificent manner. George Cukor directed. Short subjects supplementing ‘he featured attraction on the program are Movietone News and a cartoon entitled “The Terrible Troubadour.” | Selected for Major Role Randolph Scott is to play the sole featured role in Zane Grey’s "Stairs of Sand” after being cofeatured with Kent Taylor in "Sunset Pass,” another Grey western.

ROUNDING ROUND ’T'UT? A 'T'T? T> Q with Walter 1 1 H/iXO and. HICKMAN

WALTER LAMPELL will see his dream come true of establishing a Continental theater in Indianapolis for foreign language movies as well as an art exhibit center for Indiana artists and others. At 5 o'c.ock this afternoon, Lampell wall reopen the Ohio theater with the first Indianapolis showing of “Zwei Menschen,” meaning “Two Souls.”

Os course, his future plans will be governed by conditions controlling other movie theaters in this city, as the managers have posted closing notices for next Thursday night, pending readjustment of the wage scale. Lampell plans to operate the Oh'o with anew program starting on Saturday afternoons at 5 anu continuing until 11 p. m. and opening at 1 p. m. on Sundays. Lampell developed his idea of such a theater after months over WFBM in a German musical hour program. The opening picture, "Zwei Menschen,” is in German, but he intends to have Russian, French and Italian movies when he definitely -ks out his future program. There also will be an art exhibit,

and it probably will be the habit of the artists as well as students to drop into the theater and talk “art.” The ushers will be young ladies in novlety uniforms and they will be able, Lampell states, to talk foreign languages. His future plans call for the serving of coffee and smokes. So the atmosphere will be different from anything we ever had in town. I saw a private screening of “Zwei Menschen” the other afternoon. It was the first time I had seen Gustav Froelich, a young German actor, who is rapidly taking a commanding position on the European screen. He has the looks, the youth and a human acting way about him. He

of tragedy, vows and customs in the German Alps. The photography is excellent and the acting has real character and personality. The picture is lengthy, and probably could stand considerable cutting, but this is the German idea of detail. And so we have it in full. The scenes in Vatican City are tremendously fine and of great beauty and sincerity. English sub-titles are flashed on the screen to aid those whose German is not rapid enough to keep up with the dialogue.
