George Burns and Gracie Alien. Sari Mantra, Colonel Stoopnagle and Budd. Cab Caloway and his orchestra and baby Rose Marie. Bela Lugosi, Franklin Pangborn and the Girls in Cellophane, the largest ailstar cast of stage, screen and radio assembled, play the leading roles In "International House," Paramount's musical comedy, which is now on view' at the Circle. In addition to its lavish production features, ‘‘lnternational House” has a genuine plot, unlike most musical comedies. It is set in a hotel in a Chinese city, where representatives of big business from all over the

world are assembled to see and bid on a marvelous new invention by a Chinese scientist. Th" fun starts when Bela Lugo. i has the hotel Quarantined to keen the American representative from Lidding, but finds instead that he himself is locked out. From across the street he watches p< egy Joyce, who has once been his wife, go ‘‘on the make” for W. C. Field 1 , an aviator who has mistaken th" Chinese town for Kansas City, and has landeu his autogyro on .he roof of the hotel. Events reach a frenzied climax.

It all ends up a rioious farce. New numb 0 !: written for the picture by Ralph Rainger and Leo Rubin include ‘Thank Heaven lor Yr . -nd My Blue Bird's Singing the Blues.” a a a I,A Fill L ANI) HARPY NOW AT PALACE Clothed in Victorian costumes of the Robin Hood era, Laurel and Hardy make their latest appearance in "The Devils Brother,” a fulllength production in which the comedians are seen as a pair of roistering vagabonds looking for adventure. Also prominent in the cast of "The Devil’s Brother” are Dennis King, hero of innumerable New York show hits, Thelma Todd of the noted Pitts-Todd comedy shorts, James Finlayson, Lucille Brown, Arthur Pierson, Henry Armetta, Matt McHugh, Lane Chandler and Nina Quartero.

In their current picture, which opened Friday at Loew’s Palace, Laurel and Hardy run the gamut of tomfoolery from flirting with milkmaids and being pursued by an unexpected bull to making a narrow escape from the hangman’s noose and being engulfed in a variety of hazardous occurances out of all of which they invariably come out on top slightly bruised, but smiling. There is considerable more to "The Devil's Brother” than humor, although of course the antics of its two clowns play an outstanding part in the production. For one thing, there is the presence in the cast of Dennis King, noted singer, whose portrayal of the bandit king, Diavolo, does not prevent him from singing several songs. Walt Disney brings clever little Mickey Mouse back again in another of his famous cartoons entitled, “Meller Drammer.” A James Fitzpatrick travel talk, “Daughters of the Sea.” a musical novelty “Melody takers" and the most recent issue o.

tory because of the general conception of sanctified mother love; but it reveals the subconscious evil behind that very tradition. The normalcy of a daughter-in-law's affection for her husband finds a rival in his mother’s inordinate love for him. When Christina, the bride, sets foot in the Phelps household, she immediately perceived Mrs. Phelps’ jealousy or her children. The mother-in-law. developed substantially as the ‘‘other woman” in their unique triangle. Promptly Christina pitted her wits against Mrs. Phelps’ conniving, endeavoring to wrest David from his mother’s enslaving regard. Eventually, Christina makes a move to leave for New York and forget about David, willing to bear the birth of a forthcoming child alone, rather than endure Mrs. Phelps’ malicious influence. A dramatic; climax thought to be brilliantly interpreted by Miss Dunne and her featured support, Joel McCrea, results in David making an epic decision. The supporting cast includes Eric Linden, Frances Dee and Helen Cromwell. Laura Hope Crewes enacts the part of the mother. John Cromwell directed frbm his original | script of the New York play of the : same name. Short subjects supplement the featured attraction on the program. a st a OHIO RETAINS “BE MINE TONIGHT” Indianapolis audiences have been so insistent upon seeing “Be Mine Tonight,” the Universal picture on view at the Ohio, that it is being held over for the second week. “Be Mine Tonight” is the international musical comedy which introduces “Tell Me Tonight,” the newest popular song success, and presents four new stars to American picture audiences. Jan Keipura, famous Polish tenor, at one time a member of the Chicago Civic Opera Company, who has frequently been compared with the late Enrico Caruso, is seen in I the leading role. Others are Magda j Schneider, Viennese beauty; Sonnie Hale and Edmund Gwenn, Engj lish musical comedy stars, and a ! large ca-st of players. "Be Mine To- { night” is a first run picture and with all-English dialogue. Robert Benhcley, famous wit and contributor to smart periodicals, is presented in ‘‘Your Technocracy and Mine,” a ludicrous explanation of one of the day's problems. A Universal comedy and the Universal news weekly with Graham McNaI mee, the talking reporter, are other popular features of the program at the Ohio. a ts a “BELOW THE SEA” NOW AT THE INDIANA Because of a change in schedule, “Below the Sea,” with Fay Wray and Ralph Bellamy opened at the ! Indiana theatre yesterday, substi- ! tuting ior “The Keyhole” which had | been previously booked for this week. "Below the Sea” is said to show life at the boctom of the.ocean, that strange panorama of growing things and ocld creatures rarely seen by the human eye. Thus is just one of the features of ; the film, which includes a thrilling ■ fight with a vicious octopus and numerous undersea maneuvers. The supplementary bill includes j short subjects and a Paramount ! News Reel. Ed Resener and the Indiana con-

Longacre to Open Sunday Noted Swimmer Will Stage an Exhibit in the New Pool. After several months of preparation. Longacare park will stage its official opening Sunday. A score of workmen have been busy excavating a basin for an artificial lake. The basin was filled with water ■ several days ago. Docks are being j installed and canoes and row boats ! will be put on the lake in the near ! future in order that the patrons of j the park may have the pleasure j of boating on the new lagoon. Sunday afternoon in celebration | of the opening, all of the swimming j stars in the city are to be the guests of Edwin E. Thompson, owner of the park. Forty-five stars in all will be present and will exhibit to the bathers and spectators, the latest technique in swimming and diving competition. cert orchestra will present the overture "II Guarany.” ass a “CENTRAL AIRPORT" DUE AT TERMINAL "Central Airport” with Richard Parthelmess in the leading role, opens a two-day engagement at the Terminal on Sunday. This story of the air is concerned with commercial fliers instead of birdmen of the World war. Tom Brown, Sally Eilers, Glenda Farrell, Harold Huber and others are in the cast. a a a JONES LATEST IS AT ALAMO The spirit of the gay Caballero is revived by Buck Jones in his latest first run picture, “The California Trail” now playing the Alamo. Buck as a trail scout of the days when California was not even a I state in the union, brings to life j the shades of those devil-may-care buckaroos who roamed the Untamed West from job to job. riding madly, fighting hard, and always on the J look out for a lady in distress, or | poor people oppressed by tyrannic | overlords. Jones finds himself bequeathed the responsibility of taking a wagon-train of provisions to a starving town and sold a cheap price. The rulers of the village who are trying to cheat the peons out of their land and money, throw Buck into prison. Buck escapes from the prison and with the aid of the soldiers from the fort stages one of the most spectacular gun battles ever witnessed in a western picture.

MEMORIES are going to make a marvelous shrine for John P. Frenzel, a leader in banking circles here for years, who died this week. To thousands of us, v;e are going to remember Mr. Frenzel as the guiding spirit of the Indianapolis Maennerchor. Only a few’ weeks ago, I was at the Academy of Music, the home of the Maennerchor, and I heard the chorus that he not only helped create but maintain.

Isa this man sing with evident enjoyment with about a hundred or more men who have been singing for years because they love to sing. It w r as this natural love for music on the part of Mr. Frenzel which caused him to book for years some of the leading singers and musicians. We all knew that the small membership to the Maennerchor could not pay for these artists of national and international reputation because it was Mr. Frenzel who actually saw to it that the artists were engaged and always paid. Hundreds of young students of music as well as teachers are going to have beautiful memories of outstanding concerts heard at the Academy of Music because of the unselfish interest of Mr. Frenzel. I myself will cherish such a memory and I hope that my reaction will go into the memory memorial which will always exist. And what greater things could any man create in his lifetime. a a a The Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music will present Virginia Jofry of the piano faculty in a graduation recital.
