MARION DAVIES HAS ROLE LAURETTE TAYLOR CREATED

Charles Bickford and Richard Arlen Have Prominent Roles in ‘Song of the Eagle,’ Now at the Indiana: Janet Gaynor Has New Leading Man. A3 a play, "Peg O' My Heart" is some twenty years old, yet on the talking screen It is brand new. The reason for this is the apparent agelessness of the charming story In the new Metro-Ooldwyn-Mayer feature, which is now on view at Loew’s Palace for its only Indianapolis engagement, Marion Davies breathes new life into the captivating character created in the theater by Laurette Taylor. The comedy moments of the story abound in richness of dialogue and situations, and the love theme, with Onslow Stevens as Sir Gerald adds a poetic gentleness.

The story of Peg is too well known to dwell upon. Robert Z. Leonard directed the picture from the play by J. Hartley Manners. The picturization is the work of Francis Marion and Frank R. Adams. Important supporting roles are filled by J. Farrell MacDonald. Juliette Compton, Irene Browne, Tyrrell Davis, Alan Mowbray, Doris Lloyd, Robert Grieg, Nora Cecil and Geoffrey Gill, not to forget Michael, the Irish terrier with a flair for stealing both steakbones and "closeups." Short subjects comprising the balance of the program includes Charley Chase in his newest laugh fest “Arabian Tights;” a Pete Smith Sport Topics entitled “Throttle Pushers" and the latest issue of Hearst Metrotone News. a a a FINE CAST IN BEER RACKET MOVIE Charles Bickford, Richard Arlen, Mary Brian, Jean Hersholt, Louise Dresser, Andy Devine and George E. Stone play the leading roles in “Song of the Eagle,” the screen attraction now playing at the Indiana. "Song of the Eagle” was produced for Paramount by Charles Rogers. The story opens in 1916, swings up through the years to the present day, and continues onward into the future, venturing a prediction as to what is in store for America in the next, few months. The family whose eyes behold this spectacle are an upper middle-class group, prospering on a respectable brewing business. When the war breaks out their two sons go overseas. Only one returns—and he returns to find prohibition on the country and his father's business ruined. Through the years that follow, father and son attempt to carry on, confident that some day the law will be changed. Meanwhile racketeers prey upon the land; the stock market crashes and takes their last remaining bit of fortune. Then beer is legalized again. But their joy is short-lived for the racketeers are not content to sit back and see their strongly organized business crumple without a struggle. What follows is an amazing glimpse into what all America may expect in the next few months. Ed Rcsener directs the Indiana concert orchestra in a musical presentation this week. Short subjects complete the program. a a a JANET GAYNOR HEADS MOVIE CAST "Adorable," Fox Films romantic comedy with music, starring Janet Gaynor, is the current attraction occupying the screen of the Apolio. Furthermore, it is the first American film to claim the talents of the famous international star, Henry Garat, and the fact that he appears opposite the winsome miss, "Adorable” is thought to promise something of tlie unusual in screen entertainment. The story of the photoplay is said to give Janet her best opportunities. The role calls for extreme capabilities in acting, singing and the dance. In the quest of the handsome soldier of the guard, Miss Gaynor is reputed to reveal talents hitherto not credited to her. Some American audiences will probably remember Garat for his dual portrayal in "Congress Dances.” This, however, is his first appearance in a domestic production destined principally for American theater patrons. The supporting cast is headed by C. Aubrey Smith, veteran character actor, and Herbert Mundin who scored such a tut in "Cavalcade.” Others in the large cast are Blanche Friderici, Stuart Holmes, Albeit Conti, Ferdinand Sehumann-Heink. Esther Muir, Hans von Twardowski, Peter Duray, Barbara Leonard. Sterling Holloway and Joe Caits. Wilhelm Dietrie directed from the story by Paul Frank and Billie Wilder. An important feature of "Adorable” is the musical background and accompaniment. The music is by Werner Richard Heymann, with additional songs and lyrics by Richard A. Whiting and George Marion Jr. Short subjects appearing on the program are Movietone News, a cartoon and “Strange As It Seems.” ana SERIOFS STORY NOW AT THE CIRCLE "The Story of Temple Drake," William Faulkner’s unusual tale of

present-day youth, opened yesterday at the Circle, with Mariam Hopkins in the title role and Jack Laßue, William Gargan, William Collier! Jr.. Irving Pinchel and Sir Guy Standing heading the supporting cast. Miss Hopkins, as the heroine of the film, is a curious mixture of the sedate and the wanton—who refuses an offer of marriage from the young lawyer she loves, and drives off with a drunken college boy in search of more liquor. The ride ends in a crash, and the pair climb from the wreckage to find themselves virtual prisoners of a big-city gangster in a desolute country hideaway. The gangster ships the bov off to the city, but keeps the girl behind. He cold-bloodedly kills the one man who attempts to protect her, and then drags her off to a tawdry room in the city. Gargan, the lawyer, is assigned to defend the man falsely accused of the murder, and, in his search for evidence, uncovers the fact that the gangster was on the scene of the crime. He locates him in the city; goes to the room and is horrified to discover the girl with him. The picture reaches a dramatic climax in the events that follow. a a a TIM M’COY’S LATEST AT ALAMO A new high light for screen thrills is promised at the Alamo starting today when Tim McCoy rides again to fame in his latest Picture, "The Whirlwind.” Asa care-free, light-hearted rider of the open range, Tim returns with two pals to his home town to find that through the incidious efforts of a dishonest sheriff, he is distrusted and branded as a criminal. Discouraged by his own lather’s lack of faith in him, he determines to clear his name for the sake of his old sweetheart. Pat O Malley, Alice Dahl and J. Carrol Haish are in the supporting cast. Short subjects will conclude the program. a a a DOUBLE FEATURE DUE AT TERMINAL Starting Sunday for two days, the Terminal will offer a double program. One feature will be "What Price Decency?” with Dorothy Burgess, Walter Byron and Alan Hale heading the cast. Tire next feature will be “Trailing the Killer," an animal movie on the lines of "Bring ’Em Back Alive.”

ROUNDING ROUND XT T? A r F T? T? Q with Walter D. HICKMAN

MUST confess that I have gone to £he dogs these last few 7 days and all because of four dogs. And the four dogs responsible are Lady Michael, Punch, Judy and Skippy. I do not know who will be the master of or mistress of Lady Michael because this cute 3-months-old wire-haired terrier is the prize in The Indianapolis Times and Palace theater “Peg o’ My Heart” contest. Jac Flex, manager of the Palace '

is the owner of Punch and Judy, two of the cutest English bull dogs I have met in many a moon. And Skippy is my own rat terrier. Lady Michael is the “house guest" of Punch and Judy in the dressing rooms of the Palace theater, back stage, until the judges find a permanent home for her. Have asked Dr. Elizabeth Conger, guiding spirit of the dog pound and a great lover of animals, and, Dr. Frank S. C. Wicks of All Souls Unitarian church to act as judges. They will read the letters of hundreds of Indianapolis children and their reasons why they would like to ow'n Lady Michael, which is a “duplicate” of the dog that Marion Davies has in the movie, "Peg O’ My Heart.” The decision of the judges will be final and Lady Michael in a few days will have anew home and anew master or mistress. As I write this, Lady Michael is fast asleep on my desk. She is the cutest thing. Wish I was a youngster again.

We certainly have had one “hellava" week in movie circles. Such titles as "Hell Below," "From Hell to Heaven*’ and “Guilty as Hell,’ proves, my statement. tt tt tt Ace Berry, manager of the Circle and Indiana properties, is looking for anew invention. He just has bought anew dark suit. Dandruff falling on the coat gives Berry a snowstorm makeup. He remarked yesterday, " Guess I will have to dye my dandruff black." tt St tt Members of Alpha Sigma chapter of Phi Mu Alpha, national honorary musical fraternity, will be entertained at a banquet in the Hotel Lincoln on Tuesday evening, May 23.

As predicted, the new motor speedway in the park is proving a magnet for the youngsters, the idea of being able to really drive a miniature auto race car around the big board track having intrigued the kid speed demons. The cars run under their own power, and are guided by the patron just the same as the regular type of automobile. The track is so constructed and walled in that there is absolutely
