LUCAS TOPS INDIANA BILL AND EDDIE STANLEY THE LYRIC

‘Hell Below’ Has Three Chief Actors in Robert Montgomery, Walter Huston and Madge Evans: ‘The Kiss Before the Mirror’ Is Now on View at Aoollo. "TJELL BELOW" is now at the Loews Palace for its only Indianapolis *■ A engagement while still playing its successful run at the Astor theater in New York This is the much-discussed Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer submarine drama, filmed with the co-operation of the United States navy, and based on the story, "Pigboats.' by Lieutenant Commander Edward Ellsberg. which was published serially in Adventure magazine and then put out in book form by Dodd, Mead & Cos. , Robert Montgomery heads the cast as the naval lieutenant who is precipitated into a series of harrowing adventures at the bottom of the sea as well as on its surface.

Included is Walter Huston, w r ho recently played the President in "Gabriel Over the White House," as the submarine commander. His daughter is played by Madge Evans. The riotous ship's cook, who is also a student of mail-order dentistry is none other than Jimmy "Schnozzle" Durante himself. Eugene Pallet.te is the chief torpedo man, and Robert Young, as Montgomery's pal, has a rule even more effective than his naval officer of "Today We Live." Minor roles of equal importance Include Edwin Styles, John Lee Mahin, David Newell, Sterling Holoway and Charles Irwin. Many of the exterior sequences of “Hell Below" were made on location at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Members of the cast. Director Jack Conway, and a large technical corps spent more than a month at Pearl Harbor photographing atmospheric and action scenes. "Mickey's Pal Pluto," is the title of Walt Disney's latest Mickey Mouse cartoon comic, heading a list of short subjects which include a James Fitzpatrick traveltalk, "The Big Ditch of Panama,” an organlogue novelty, “Home Again” and happenings of the news of the week as pictured by the mast, recent issue of the Hearst Metrotone News. 888 NEW TREATMENT IS GIVEN MURDER THEME "The Kiss Before the Mirror,” Universal's romantic drama presenting a heartbroken man who let a kiss cast him into the tortures of jealousy; a beautiful woman who let a kiss drag her through a dramatic trial in court and which resolves itself into a double triangle, is the current attraction being presented upon the screen of the Apollo. The story, climaxing itself by involving two husbands, two wives and two sweethearts, in the main concerns Dr. Walter Bernsdorf, who enters the boudoir of his charming wife to see her carefully preparing to spend the evening away from home. He comes in quietly and without attracting her attention, steals up and kisses her at her boudoir mirror. She is upset and angry at being disturbed and her toilette disarranged. Bernsdorf suspects her, follows her upon her departure from the house and trails her to the apartment of her lover, a bachelor. From this particular sequence th° photoplay results in one of the most interesting human documents to reach the screen for some time, according to preview reports. The cast presents Nancy Carroll, Paul Lukas, Frank Morgan and Gloria Stuart in featured roles, with supporting parts being enacted by Donald Cook, Jean Dixon, Walter Pidgeon and Allan Connor. James Whale directed from the screen play written by William Anthony McGuire. Short subjects supplementing the featured attraction are Movietone News, a two-reel comedy entitled "Mugg to You,” and a Pooch the Pup cartoon. b a b "GRAND SLAM” NOW AT THE CIRCLE Believe it or not', there is not a family quarrel in a card deck in the newly discovered bridge system which Is the main theme in the First National picture. ‘"Grand Slam.” featuring Loretta Young and Paul Lukas, which opened yesterday at the Circle. Lukas and Miss Young, known as the "Honeymoon Bridge Couple.” and "America's Bridge Sweethearts, tour the country giving exhibition games in which never a cross word, is passed, nor even a dirty look. How this system was evolved and eventually works out is one of the surprises in a picture filled with wisp wit and uproariously funny situations. The picture is based on the novel by B. Russell Herts, which is a fast moving comedy drama of the American bridge craze, with its chmapionship battles and bickerings. In converting the novel for screen play, it is said that Erwin Gelsey and David Boehm made a fine job of bringing out the absorbing ro-
