MARY PICKFORD STAGES A REAL COMEBACK IN ‘SECRETS’

Maurice Chevalier Has an 8-Months-Old Baby in the Cast of *A Bedtime Story'; Katherine Hepburn Is Star of ‘Christopher Strong.’ MARY PICKFORD's latest picture, ‘ Secrets,” featuring Leslie Howard. is on view at Loew's Palace for an exclusive Indianapolis engagement. The production was adapted to the talking screen by Frances Marion from Rudolf Besier and May Edington’s play. The story opens in a small New England village in the late 1860’s with the ambitious William Marlowe, banker and shipowner, along with his wife, portrayed by C. Aubrey Smith and Blanche Frederici, respectively, planning on marrying off their lovely daughter, Miss Pickford, to

a titled Englishman. Her love is already in the hands of a poor clerk in her father's establishment. When the father finds out about the affair he discharges the clerk, played by the brilliant English actor. Leslie Howard. The two elope and the locale of the story shifts from the quaint New England town to the wild west of southern California. Hardships beset them and the rise to wealth, fame and success is a long and thorny path with love finally accomplishing what hard work would never do alone. The story ends with the couple in old age, eloping again, this time away from their children so that they might live again their secret joys and sorrows. Included in the supporting cast are Mona Maris, Doris Lloyd, Herbert Evans, Ned Sparks, Allan Sears, Lyman Williams. Ellen Johnston, Virginia Grey and many ethers of almost equal repute. Ben Blue and Billy Gilbert, comedyland's latest, favorite sons, are back again in another of Hal Roach’s Taxi Boys comedies, entitled “Wreckety Wrecks.” as the feature spot among the short subjects. A James Fitz Patrick traveltalk. "Cuba,” and highlights of the news of the week as picturized by the most recent edition of the Hearst Metrotone News round out the program. B B B CHEVALIER LATEST IS NOW ON VIEW Anew Maurice Chevalier, a Chevalier of bedroom slippers and fireside romancing, makes his appearance in "A Bedtime Story,” the latest of the French star's pictures. which opened yesterday at the Circle. Maurice is still gay and debonair, but he keeps his gaiety and his debonair manner near the hearth In this picture instead of parading it about the world, as he has in the past. He is cast as a Paris man about town who returns from a voyage abroad to find someone has abandoned a year-old baby in his automobile. He calls the police, but by the time the officers arrive, he has become so intrigued wdth the youngster that he has decided to keep it. While he awaits the arrival of a nurse, he and his valet attempt to care for the baby. Their efforts lead only to confusion, but when the nurse, an American girl stranded in Paris, does arrive, order follows immediately. The picture reaches an amusing climax when Chevalier takes baby, nurse, valet, et al., to the chateau of his fiancee for a week-end. The developments there almost lose him all, but he ultimately emerges with the baby and nurse still in his possession, and the nurse no longer merely a nurse. Helen Twelvetrees plays the nurse; Edward Everett Horton the valet, and Adrienne Ames one of Maurice’s former flames. Baby Leroy, selected for the role from among thousands of west coast babies, is the youngster. B B B "CHRISTOPHER STRONG” HAS STRONG CAST A dashing, daredevil aviatrix. a Staid British statesman, a conservative wife and a modern daughter are said to be competently portrayed in realistic, convincing fashion in a dramatic presentation of an emotional real life dilemma in RKO-Radio Pictures’ “Christopher Strong,” which is appearing currently at the Apollo. The cast includes Katharine Hepburn. Colvin Clive, Billie Burke, Helen Chandler. Ralph Forbes, Jack La Rue. Irene Brown. Gwendolyn Logan and Desmond Roberts. The aviatrix Cynthia enters Sir Christopher Strong’s family, causing a romantic upheaval. Enthralled in flying all her life, she is swept completely by the love and romance she suddenly discovers w’ith Chris-

topher, who for twenty years had been enwrapped in parliamentary documents and a faithful wife. They taste their clandestine happiness for more than a year when Cynthia suddenly realizes she is to have a baby. Realizing the futility of continuing, she ends their affair dramatically in a fatal climax, returning Christopher to his wife, daughter and career, and keeping her secret. Miss Hepburn, who will be remembered for her performances in “Bill of Divorcement” enacts the role of Cynthia. Colin Clive is seen as Christopher Strong; Miss Burke has the role of the wife, and Helen Chandler plays the part of the daughter. Dorothy Azner directed from the adaptation of the nbvel of the same name by Gilbert Frankau. Zoe Aikins did the adaptation. Short subjects appearing on the program are Movietone News, an organlogue entitled “Ship of Dreams;” Clarke and McCullough in ‘Druggist’s Desire,” and a “Pooch the Pup” cartoon. B B MYSTERY MOVIE IS NOW AT INDIANA "The Crime of the Century”, new style mystery drama which is now featured at the Indiana theater, has Jean Hersholt, Stuart Erwin, Wynne Gibson and Frances Dee in the leading roles. David Landau and Gordon Wescott are also in the cast. The picture offers a startling innovation. The murder which motivates the action is confessed before it is committed. Hersholt. who is a prominent alienist, walks into a police station, tells of the murder he has planned, the manner he will carry it through without incriminating himself. Then he begs to be locked up, so that he can not go through with it. Police accompany him to nis home, but there, under their very eyes, not only the murder he has planned, but a second one, take place. A second innovation takes place here. A 60-second intermission, during which the various clews are reviewed, is presented to the audience so that it may attempt to pick the murderer itself. Ultimately Erwin as a police reporter, and Miss Dee, as the alienist’s daughter, co-operate to solve the mystery from the few unimpor-tant-looking clews. Miss Gibson is cast as one of the victims, with Landau as one of th? detectives. B. P. Schulberg produced the picture for Paramount. Ed Resener is directing the Indiana Concert orchestra in another musical presentation as a supplementary attraction. B B B TERMINAL TO OFFER COMPSON MOVIE. Starting Sunday for a three-day engagement, the Terminal will present “West of Singapore.” featuring Betty Compson, Weldon Heyburn, and Tom Douglas. The story is laid in the Malay coast and tells the drama of the oil fields, in which Miss Compson plays the former sweetheart of an oil exploiter, who casts her aside for a beautiful and unsophisticated English girl, only to return at last to his first love after a thrilling adventure in deadly swamps, gasoline stills and native dance halls.

At Colonial

THE TIMES

ROUNDING ROUND 'TUT? A TT?T> Q with Walter 1 I H/JKO D. HICKMAN

ONE of the sweet echoes of the Martinelli-Mendelssohn choir concert recently at Keith’s theater was what happened after the concert. The choir was requested to remain on the stage after the concert and members were informed that there would be a dutch luncheon at the Athenaeum. 401 East Michigan street.

When Martinelli, his piani:t and Mrs. Nancy Martens, w'ho sponsored the concert arrived at the Athenaeum, more than sixty members of the choir were present, as well as club members. Then things began to happen. Regardless of the fact that he had been singing for tw'o hours previously, Martinelli gave an impromptu recital of about the same length of his regular program. Even the chefs and the waiters gathered around the room and enjoyed the singing as much as any one. It developed in one big song fest for all present. As one of my friends told me, “it was one of the greatest evenings I have eever experienced.” The personality as w'ell as the tremendous energy and faith of the great singer has encouraged the Mendelssohn choir to carry on its fine traditions next season. It is now up to Indianapolis to give the necessary support to keep this great choir going forward. B B tt Those ahead of the Sam B, Dill Circus coming to town for two days next month, report that the business for the circus, working its way up from the south, has been “good.’ That is a hopeful sign, because when circus and show business is good, general conditions reflect a brighter side. Mike Pyne, advertising manager, has left Indianapolis, after telling the w'orld that the circus is coming to town. B B B Another good sign of better times lis the way music lovers are subscribing for the fine artist series for next season of Mrs. Nancy Martens. She tells me that she has more reservations for season locations than ever before. Knowing her losses because of general conditions this season, it is most interesting to see this splendid response for next season. Mrs. Martens next season will present her concerts on Sunday afternoons at Keith's because a maj jority of his patrons favor afterj noon concerts. I The artists that Mrs. Martens will

This looks like a big season to me. b b n It has been definitely announced that the Lyric will reopen on May 5 with a musical comedy, “Follow Thru,” with Joe Penner and Olive Olson in the cast. The screen will offer Helen MacKellar in “The Past of Mary Holmes.”
