—Dietz on Science— PROF. EINSTEIN RECIPIENT OF FRENCH HONOR Veteran Scientist Is Given Professorship at Paris U. BY DAVID DIETZ 9crlnp-Hord Science Editor Dr. Albert Einstein, it is reported from Europe, has accepted “with the greatest pleasure and gratitude" a professorship in the University of Paris. It is understood that the French government is considering the establishment of anew chair of mathematical physics for him in the "College de France.” Thus, the kindly German Jewish savant, although an exile from his home in Germany, continues to collect professorships with the ease of a Sioux Indian collecting scalps. He already has accepted professorships at the University of Madrid, the University of Brussels, the University of Glasgow, and the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton university. War Divides Banks Just how the author of the theory of relativity will divide his time among his jobs is not yet known. It is understood, however, that he will be back in America in the fall for the opening of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton. The institute was founded by Dr. Abraham Flexner, who for many years was the secretary of the general education board of the Rockefeller Foundation. Science always has been international in its progress. The World w r ar divided the nations into two camps. This division naturally affected the scientists of every nation. Many of them donned uniforms and served either on the front or in some sort of military research. A First in All History But after the war, many scientists felt that it w ? as time for science to get back to its old footing, and American scientists took, the lead in insisting that various international scientific meetings be made truly international. It long has been a custom for the important scientific societies of one nation to invite leading scientists of another to become "corresponding members." "Exchange professorships, by which universities in two different countries exchanged professors in some particular subject for a year or more also have been common. But this is probably the first time in the history of the world that one man lias been offered simultaneously as many posts as have been given to Einstein.

Needs No Laboratory Fortunately, Professor Einstein’s work is such that he does not require a costly laboratory or complex apparatus. The experimental physicist can not get along without his laboratory and his instruments. But Professor Einstein is a mathematical physicist. His chief tools are pencil and paper. It must also be remembered that Einstein has given much of his life to teaching. The classroom is nothing new to him. On his visits to America during the last few years, he has always lectured to students at the California Institute of Technology and elsewhere.

| „ __ Joe Is a Comedy Knockout as Elmer, Home Run Hero Lionel Barrymore’s Latest, ‘Sweepings/ Is Mighty Strong On Morals and Thoughts On the Younger Generation. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN YOU can write this on yous cuff as coming from me that Joe E. Brown in "Elmer the Great” is at his best. The fact is that this big-mouthed comedian has never been a favorite of mine, but as the champion swatter of the Chicago Cubs in this movie he is a wonder. Right now. if you would get me at an unguarded moment and ask me the name of my favorite comedian on the screen, I would think of Elmer and name Joe right away. From the time I saw Elmer trying to get awake at 2 o’clock in the afternoon so he could get breakfast of ham and eggs, cakes, coflee, more cakes, cookies and jam. Brown entertained and

kept me laughing for over an hour. About half asleep. Elmer puts one sock on his left foot and the other sock on the same foot. Then general confusion. You wili howl when Elmer starts to make the bed from the foot and then gradually -slides back to sleep in his former position. Brown has caught all the fun possible from the showman standpoint

in drawing the egotistical character of the small town player who was a sensation with the Terre Haute team and turned out as the champion sw’atter with the Chicago Cubs. Here is clean and great American comedy, a little farfetched at times such as final game of the world series played in blind-

ing rain, but corking good theater every second. Os course there is romance in Elmer’s life but I am going to refer you to "Elmer the Great” to get wise to it. You are going to agree with me that this is Brown's best and most humorous characterization. Splendid direction, dialogue and the like.. In fact “Elmer the Great” has everything that goes to make a fine comedy. The program includes an overture by Ed Resener and the Indiana Concert orchestra. Now at the Indiana. tt u a LIONEL BECOMES A GREAT MERCHANT PRINCE The fact is that Lionel Barrymore's latest, “Sweepings,” is mighty heavy on moral lessons and observations upon the frailties of the younger generation. In fact, I am afraid that too much stress has been placed upon the moral issues of the theme because it got me rather resentful that out of a brood of four youngsters three

were pretty close to being rotters while the fourth was just incompetent to carry on a great business that the father had started and developed. All the virtues possible of the older generation are found in Daniel Parkway <Barrymore), the founder of the biggest department store in Chicago. There are two things

A

Lionel Barrymore

that gripped me. First the careful character work of Lionel Barrymore as the father and merchant prince. He is tremendously fine in his death scene as he looks upon the four failures he has brought into the w'orld. Here you will find the heavy hand of morality preaching but I can not deny that there is good and big acting present in these scenes. The “children” are played by George Meeker, William Gargan, Eric Lincien and Gloria Stuart. All are good as to types with Meeker and Linden standing out. Here is a serious story and it is handled in that manner by a competent cast. Now at the Apollo. B B B HERE IS LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE MISCAST After giving much thought to Monogram’s production of ‘‘Oliver Twist" I am convinced that most of the actors in the company have been miscast and have completely failed to catch the characteristics that Dickens gave all of his characters. The most glaring fault to my way of thinking is that the actors and

the director have all thought and acted in terms of Hollywood instead }f Dickens. Dickie Moore as Oliver at no time approaches even a suggestion in temperament and actions the Oliver that Dickens crea t e and . Judging Dickie by this picture, to me he is a very incompetent child actor. He should never have

Dickie Moore

been cast as Oliver. When the central character is miscast, it is difficult to capture the realistic atmosphere that the author intended. Irving Pichel as Fagin is too theatrical and melodramatic to give us the Fagin of Dickens. He didn't convince me of Fagin's power to build up and control a hoodlum gang of petty thieves. Take the Bill Sikes of William Boyd. Ie seemed to me that Boyd was afraid of the role and never got

under the skin of the character. To jmy way of thinking the only true ! characterization of the entire lot i was the Artful Dodger of Sonny Ray. As usual be your own judge. You know what I think of it. Now at the Circle. tt tt tt NOVARRO HAS A GOOD SONG NUMBER Ramon Novaro returns to one of ! his romantic roles as Jamile in "The : Barbarian.” His charm and peri sonality are shown off to great advantage in this part. This picture comes as a distinct change in the regular run of problem and inter-

est plays, and uses the romantic at m o sphere of Egypt as the setting for a captivating love affair. All hough I failed to see anything so terribly barbaric in his actions, Novarro does show a persistency and devotion to his love that is seldom seen in more civilized characters. He takes his place

with the great lovers of the screen. His pleasing voice, and by the v/ay, his song, “Love Songs of the Nile,” undoubtedly will be a hit, and his charming accent both are great assets to his character. But I feel, that just as good, if not better, than the performance of Novarro, is that of Myrna Loy, who keeps up the high standard of her recent pictures, and is quite exotic in her pleasing manner. She is' cast as the daughter of an Egyptian mother who is scheduled to marry a young business man (played w'ell'by Reginald Denny). But situations keep arising which keep the tw'o apart, most of which are arranged by the scheming dragoman (Novaro), who finaly captures the gin and takes her to the home of his tribesmen. Here she insults him, for which he makes her pay and pay. Louise Closser Hale adds splendid comic relief as Diana’s (Miss Loy) maid. The scenery is interesting and picturesque and the photography is splendid. I found this picture cool and refreshing. But you be the judge. Now at the Palace.—(By the Observer) . b a b Tonight at 8:15 o’clock at the Academy of Music, the Indianapolis Maennerchor with Claire Dux, soprano, as guest artist, will give the concluding concert of the season. Other Indianapolis theaters today offer: “Follow' Through” on the stage with "The Past of Mary Holmes" on the screen at the Lyric; “One Night in Paradise” at the Ohio; “Parachute Jumper” at the Terminal; “Treason” at the Alamo; "She Done Him Wrong” and “Rome Express” at the Belmont; "The Kid From Spain” at the Talbott; “A Farewell to Arms” and “Cynara” at the Hollywood; “I Am a Fugitive From the Chain Gang” and “Smoke Lightning" at the Mecca, and burlesque at the Colonial. Under present plans, Ace Berry will swing the Indiana into a vaudeville as well as a movie program policy. I understand that Nick Lucas will be the star of the first bill w'hich will probably open next Friday. Ever since Berry resumed management of the Indiana and Circle he has been wanting a flesh policy at the Indiana. Gentry Brothers circus opens a three-day engagement this afternoon at 3:45 o’clock on the lot at Thirty-eighth and Illinois streets. The night performance is at 8 o’clock. Store Manager Robbed Paul Powley, 830 South Pershing avenue, manager of the Regal grocery at 2230 West Ray street, reported to police that he was robbed of $145 Saturday night by two bandits who waited for him to get his car out of the garage after he closed the store.
