BALABANOW FIVE HEADLINE VARIETY BILL' AT THE LYRIC
Ann Harding, Robert Montgomery, Myrna Loy, Alice Brady and Frank Morgan Have the Leads in ‘When Ladies Meet’ Now at the Palace. WITH Ann Harding and Robert Montgomt ry billed as co-stars and the supporting cast boasting such narr.es as Myma Loy, Alice Brady and Frank Morgan, ‘ When Ladies Meet,’’ is now on view at Loews Palace. The picture Is an adaptation of Rachel Crother's stage success. Miss Harding portrays the understanding, modern wife of a philandering husband. Montgomery is his usual wise-cracking self as the young newspaperman who handles his romantic troubles as he would a front page story. His flair for flip lines is deftly appeased by the crackling dialogue given him.
Myrna Loy has the part of the girl novelist who tries to live the life of her own heroine. Alice Brady makes her return to the screen as Bridget, the flighty week-end hostess of the tangled gathering. It is her first appearance on either stage or screen since her memorable success in Eugene O’Neill's stage success, “Mourning Becomes Electra.” Frank Morgan, who made such a decided hit as the husband in "Reunion in Vienna," has the role of the philandering husband 1n the new picture. Martin Burton, a Mitchell (Ind.) boy, makes his screen debut in this vehicle and Luis Alberim and Sterling Holloway have small bits to round out the brilliant cast. The story is the triangular formula attacked from an entirely different angle. It concerns a youthful romance which threatens to go on the rocks because of the interest in the girl of her married publisher. The young man in the case happens to be Montgomery, who engineers a meeting of the two women involved under circumstances that create sat r factory, if turbulent, results. The picture was directed by Harry Beaumont. Short subjects comprising the balance of the program include a new Taxi Boy comedy entitled, “Call Her Sausage,” an adventure novelty and the most recent issue of the Hearst Metrotone News. tt a a “COC KTAIL HOUR” NOW AT THE CIRCLE Suppose a young woman to be entirely alone in the world with no one in any way depending upon her. Suppose her to be independently wealthy, through her own ability as an illustrator and paster artist. Suppose her to be modern in her ideas and beliefs, and rebellious against the creed that every girl is destined for matrimony and motherhood, and these things alone. Is such a young woman right or ■wrong in contending—and carrying out her contention—that she has just as much privilege as a man has, to taste life to the fullest, without marriage. That is the interesting and debatable theme of “Cocktail Hour,” a Columbia feature which opened yesterday at the Circle Theatre, with Bebe Daniels as its star. Miss Daniels is Cynthia Warren, who makes $60,000 painting pretty ladies on posters. Her employer, who wants to marry her, has what she thinks are antiquated ideas regarding love and marriage. A young French prince and several other eligibles are at her feet also, but Cynthia clings to her own theory of freedom and starts for Europe to prove it. On the boat, she falls in love with an Englishman, who is a thorough rotter, who laughs over his easy conquest of her. She goes to Paris, becomes the guest of the young prince and his mother; the Englishman follows and tries to force himself upon her. In a fight with the prince, he is thrown from a window and apparently killed. Cynthia makes the prince run away and shoulders all the blame. In the events that follow 7 , Cynthia admits the old code for women is the right one. Others in the cast are Barry Norton, Randolph Scott, Jessie Ralph, Muriel Kirkland and Sidney Blackmer. a a tt “HOLD ME TIGHT” ON VIEW AT THE APOLLO James Dunn and Sally Eilers, who created such a sensation with their performances in “Bad Girl,” are featured in the new Fox Film, “Hold Me Tight,” the current attraction at the Apollo. In “Hold Me Tight,” the popular team have tha type roles that first brought them together. It is a story that concerns the search for happiness over almost insurmountable barriers. These two young people win their fight, and victory is sweeter for all the hardships of the struggle. They are both employed in a large department store, where they meet and fall in love. Sally is attractive and Jimmy is ambitious. There seems to be nothing standing in the way ot complete success. But they reckon without the desires and ambitions of others. Let alone, they have a good chance of achieving their personal aims, but hampered by these others, the battle is a dfficult one. With an unscrupulous store detective, who is

Balloon Ascension Announced ‘Miss Riverside’ Is to Make Parachute Jump On Sunday. The free attraction at Riverside amusement park Sunday afternoon will be a balloon ascension and parachute leaps by “Miss Riverside,” the mysterious Indianapolis girl who chooses to hide her identity by wearing a mask as she performs her aerial feats. The recent opening of the beautiful new dance palace in Riverside amusement park has added the final feature to make the fun resort complete. The new 7 de luxe case established in the park at the beginning of the summer, under the management of Golding and Grote. and the installation of new and novel rides and games have rounded out the cycle of pleasure to be enjoyed in a visit to the West Thirtieth street fun spot, w 7 here for a third of a century two generations of central Indiana folk have played. Water rides stand out prominently at Riverside. At the Riverside Boat Club canoes may be rented for delightful trips on the river. On the lagoon in the center of the park visitors may drive motor boats. The Canals of Venice afford a long boat ride through cool grottos, and the Mill Chutes terminate in a thrilling plunge down into the “old mill pond,” after a scenic boat trip through mysterous caverns. Then, there are the monster coaster rides, the Thriller and the Flash, with their breath-taking and nerve-tingling drops and curves; the towering aerial swing, where one swings far out over the park in miniature airplanes; there is fun galore in riding on the Dodgem and the Pretzel, and wild hilarity in a journey through the massive fun castle. The crazy haunted house in Tipsy Town affords an example of defiance of the laws of gravity. One of the new features this year is the motor speedway, where small racingtype autos are driven around the board track. The Whip, the rifle range, the Skeeball alleys, penny arcade, photograph galleries and scores of games line the big circular concourse, while the rink offers the largest skating floor in the state for devotees of the roller sport.
attracted to Sally and is also in a position to get Jimmy out of the way, the fight is made all the more strenuous. The background of the film, so typical of New York in both mood and structure, is just what this pair of young players need, according to their many admirers. The department store, with its teeming population, is exactly to their talents, it is thought. In addition to Miss Eilers and Dunn, the cast includes Frank McHugh, Kenneth Thomson, Noel Francis, Dorothy Peterson and.Clay Clement. David Butler directed from the original story by Gertrude Rigdon. Especially- selected short subjects round out the program. n n n “PHANTOM BROADCAST” DUE AT THE TERMINAL Speed, thrills, heart-touching romances and surprise climaxes dominate “The Phantom Broadcast,” first city showing, opening at the Terminal Sunday lor two days only. The story centers around a radio star, whose success is based on fraud. The star’s accompanist, a hunchback, secretly does the star’s broadcasting. The hunchback, while not gaining in popularity, reaps his share of the cash paid to the phantom star. Everything is happy until the hunchback discovers his sweetheart is being courted by the phantom. He rebels at the star's attention to the girl, and it is here one of the surprise climaxes takes place. The cast is headed by Ralph Forbes, Vivienne Osborne, Gail Patrick and Rockliffe Fellowes. On the same bill will be Edgar Kennedy's latest comedy release entitled “Art in the Raw.” Also a cartoon and sports reel will be shown. n a a DOUBLE MOVIE BILL AT ALAMO A double feature program has been booked into the Alamo theatre opening today for a three-day engagement. Tom Keene will star in his newest first run picture. “Son of the Border." in which Tom, as a vigilante leader, battles with bank bandits. Supporting Keene is Edgar Kennedy, Julie Haydon and Creighton Chaney. The other feature is “The Mind Reader.” starring Warren William and Constance Cummings. Dorothea Has Good Ancestors Dorothea Wieck. Paramount's new continental actress, is a direct descendant of Clara Schumann-Wieck, one of Europe's greatest musicians, and of Schumann, the brilliant composer. She was born in Switzerland.

ROUNDING ROUND T'T-TT? A T'TTD Q with Walter 1 ±lll/r\ I JjKo and. HICKMAN
T HAVE heard of dog tags, but never in my life have I heard of stamping a mark on the right hand of a dancer so as to show they have bought tickets. If I stick around long enough. E. W. Mushrush, manager of the dance ballroom at Riverside park, will probably think up anew one.
When Mushrush opened his new dance place at the park on Memorial day, he knew that it was necessary to have pass out checks for the dancers. He also knew that if a dancer did not care to return he could give away his pass out check. Thus the box office would be minus an admission fee. So Mushrush went into a trance and thought of the bright idea of taking a rubber stamp and stamping the date and name of the dance hall on the right palm of the dancers desiring to leave the place for a short time. And from all reports it has worked beautifully. Hal Bailey and his Collegians is furnishing the music. nun Once again I state that I regret seeing the closing of a theater. This time I am speaking of the Indiana theater which closed until early September last Thursday night. The Tom Devine Indiana Roof Ballroom closed its season last Sunday night. Ace Berry has moved his office to the Circle for the summer where he will personally manage that house. n n n The summer session of the Arthui Jordan Conservatory of Music will begin Monday. June 12, with a complete offering of courses in music. music education and dramatic art. By extending the length of the summer term to seven weeks and holding classes six days a week the conservatory has made it possible for school music teachers to earn enough credits for renewal oi their state licenses. An innovation this summer is the addition of graduate courses leading to the degree of master of music, which will be taught by Clarence Loomis. Max T. Krone and Donald Gilley. Mr. Gilley is joining the faculty of the conservatory this summer after five years as head of the music department of Earlham college, Richmond. He will teach organ and advanced theoretical courses.

2—The Baiabanow 7 Five, well known musical organization, is the headliner on the new bill now on view on the stage of the Lyric.
Another innovation will be the summer session chorus, directed by Max T. Krone. The chorus will meet five days a week for five weeks and will be open to any one in the community who wishes to sing and can devote that much time to rehearsal. The chorus probably will present a concert during July. A music demonstration school of children of elementary school age also will be new this summer. These children will serve as a laboratory for the methods courses in school music. Parents w 7 ho w 7 ould like to have their children receive this training should call Lincoln 5313. There is no fee for the children. They will receive instruction in singing and either in piano or violin for a period of five weeks. Mae Started the Shimmy Mae West, Paramount star, was the first to dance the shimmy, although Bee Palmer and later Gilda Gray were credited with this theatrical achievement.
