The scene shows Tracy proposing to Madge Evans in a night club. Tables W’ere set for 200, an elaborate set. arranged, and with this background of revelry, Tracy and Miss Evans, at table near the course, exchange twenty words. According to Jack Conw'ay, director of the picture, scenes like this tend to speed action in this particular type of picture. Tracy plays a fast-talking shyster lawyer, engaged in an amazing am-bulance-chasing business, in which with falsified X-ray's and other bogus evidence he sues for injuries of clients in accidents and amasses a fortune. Miss Evans is a feminine detective sent out to trap him. Hilarious scenes in a great skating rink, drama in a courtroom, thrills in amazing accident sequences, the clever trick by which the shyster ties up the traffic of a city and other adventures figure as dramatic high spots in the new picture.

Frank Morgan, is the quack doctor who manufactures “medical evidence,” and John Miljan is the traction company attorney Virginia Cherrill, David Landau, Greta Meyer, Herman Bing and Samuel Hinds have supporting roles. “The Nuisance” is Tracy’s first picture since “Clear All Wires.” Laurel and Hardy hold the feature spot of the short subjects in "Me and My Pal.’’ It concerns the adventures of a couple of jig-saw puzzle addicts.

ROUNDING ROUND T'WPT A T'T7D Q with Walter 1 1 HflVO and. HICKMAN

RECENTLY have been talking with men and women pretty high up in the theatrical w r orld, meaning producers and theater owners. They admit that business will not be good this summer as a general rule either for the movies or the legitimate theater.

And all contend that business is going to jump in leap and bounds by early September, and one man predicts 1929 box office business in all amusement lines. Right here in Indianapolis \ve have proof that these leaders axe thinking along the right line.This is a fact. Mrs. Nanoy Martens. who is bringing Ponselle, John Charles Thomas. Mischa Elman; j Sigrid Onegin and the Cincinnati I Symphony, with Walter Gieseking as soloist here next season, has more season subscription reservations than ever before. The glorious fact is that she has received more than 500 season reservations. This time last year there were only a few, in fact, less than fifty. This great demand for season reservations proves that Indianapolis will support one of the strongest musical series presented since I have been writing about theaters, concerts and movies. Co-operating with Mrs. Martens, Indianapolis music lovers really have guaranteed the future of music along these lines. The demand Is so great that Mrs. Martens will not close her office here until after July 4. When she reopens in the fall, she will continue for a short time the season sale and then she will devote all of her time to the single seat sale. a a Sunday is Father's day. Manager | A. J. Kalberer of the Lyric has inI vited fathers 60 years or over to be his guests at the Sunday afternoon shows. The fathers may register by telephone, letter or in person at the Lyric by 6 p. m. Then the father may present himself to the Lyric doorman Sunday afternoon, find his name registered and all he has to do is to walk in as the guest of the theater. Mighty nice idea. It was done on Mother's day for mothers and : several hundred accepted the inviI tation. n tt tt \ The Hotel Antlers has opened its swimming pool co the public as well ;as house guests. The pool is filtered with cool running water. Lockers are provided for the swimming patrons. Recently the interior of the pool was relined with tile and marble laid on the floors. tt tt tt The Secretary of State has approved the application of the board | of trustees of the Arthur Jordan Foundation for the incorporation of the Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music as an educational institution organized not for profit. This act marks another milestone in the plans of Mr. Jordan and the board of trustees of the foundation for the founding and perpetuation of a school of music in the middle west which should serve this part of i the country’ in the best possible

manner in the development of music and the allied arts. The conservatory was organized four years ago as the result of the purchase by the Arthur Jordan Foundation of the Metropolitan School of Music and the Indiana College of Music and Fine Arte and the combination of their faculty and facilities to form the Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music. t The Foundation had been formed shortly before that time through a gift of $2,000,000 by Arthur Jordan. This fund Is administered by a board of trustees consisting of Arthur Jordan, president of the Postal Life Insurance Company; Hilton TJ. Brown, chairman of the board of trustees of Butler university; Emsley W. Johnson, prominent Indianapolis attorney; Bernard R. Batty, executive of the Hoosier Moulding Sand Company: H. Foster Clippinger, vice-president of the Fletcher Trust Company; Thomas H. Kaylor, vice-president of the Indiana National bank, and Fermor S. Cannon, president of the Railroadmen's Building and Loan Association and board member of the Indianapolis Home Loan bank. According to the new charter of the conservatory the members of the board of the foundation automatically become members of the board of the conservatory. The Metropolitan School of Music was established in 1895 by Flora Hunter. Oliver Willard Pierce. Richard Schlewin and Franz X. Arens. Two members of the board of directors of the Metropolitan school are still teaching in the conservatory; Hugh McGibeny is entering his thirty-fourth year as artist teacher of violin. and Leslie Peck his twenty-eighth as artist teacher of trumpet. Edward Nell, retired last year after thirty-two years of teaching in the Metropolitan School of Music and the Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music and is living in New York. In 1907 Oliver Willard Pierce withdrew from the Metropolitan school and founded the College of Musical Art, which later became the Indiana College of Music and Fine Arts. In 1924, Mrs. Blanche Harrington purchased the college. At the time the Arthur Jordan Foundation acquired the college, in June, 1928. the officers of the college were: Mrs. Henry Schurmann. president; Mrs. Harrington, secretary-treasurer, and Arthur W. Mason, musical director. In June. 1932.

night, June 27. 3 Rosa Ponselle, prima donna dramatic soprano of the Metropolitan Opera, will open the musical season of Mrs. Nancy Martens in October. 4 One of the chief attractions on the new bill at the Lyric is the Four Queens.

3 Sally Blane, Victor Jory, Ralph Morgan and Clifford Jones have the leads in “Trick for Trick” on view at the Lyric. 4 Phil Harris has made a name for himself both as an actor and a singer in “Melody Cruise” now at the Apollo.

Max T. Krone was appointed director. Mr. Krone came to Indianapolis from Cleveland where he had been head of the music education department of Western Reserve university. The conservatorv is housed in four units: The former Metropolitan school building at Pennsylvania and North streets, facing the Memorial Plaza; the old Ayres and Wasson homes on North Delaware street, which contains the classrooms, library, reception rooms, orchestra rehearsal room, and administrative offices: and the former White home on North Pennsylvania at Thirty-fourth street, opposite Shortridge high school. A great many changes have been made in the organization of the conservatory to provide for its new and enlarged program. It is the hope of the conservatory to provide for Indianapolis in the art of music something of the same type of program that is offered by the John Herron Art Institute in the field of painting, sculpture and the allied fine arts. The Art Institute and the conservatory are co-operating this year in offering two series of lecture-recitals on Sunday afternoons at the institute. One of these series will consist of programs of violin and piano sonatas by members of the conservatorv faculty. The other series will consist of five song recitals which will present a survey of the great schools of song literature. Some of these recitals will be given bv members of the faculty of the conservatory and some by other singers of Indianapolis and Indiana. Cameraman Becomes Director Lee Garmes, whose name until now has been associated only with good photography, will become a Fox director in September. His latest work is “My Lips Betray” and his next and last as a photographer will be “My Weakness,” also with Miss Harvey. Garmes won the Academy trophy for superior work in 1931-32. He is responsible for “Zoo in Budapest.”

Very Busy Mary Boland, late star of “The Vinegar Tree,” is working mornings in “Mama Loves Papa,” with Charlie Ruggles and in the afternoon in “ThreeCornered Moon.” She next will do “Alice in Wonderland.”

Trousers Banned for Stars Jack Warner Declares His Women Stars Will Stay Feminine. Fifteen of Hollywood’s famous feminine stars and featured players have been told that they are not, under any circumstailbe, to appear either in picture or in public in mannish attire. The long list of women who were warned officially that to adopt the trouser fad would endanger their studio contracts includes such names as Ruth Catterton, Barbara Stanwyck, Kay Francis, Joan Blondell, Bebe Daniels, Loretta j Young, Bette Davis and Ruby Keeler (Mrs. A1 Jolson), and the j edict was announced as official by Jack L. Warner, vice-president of j Warner Brothers - First National studios, who employs them all. j “We believe that the current 1 trend toward mannish attire for women is a freakish fad which will pass even more quickly than it started,” Mr. Warner stated. “Our | fashion experts agree with us on this and we have allalong retained from showing any woman dressed as a man in our pictures, ! We will continue to refrain from it. “We have learned that the public generally is emphatic in its disapproval of the fad which is supposed to have started in Hollywood and w'hich was fostered mainly by a few sensation-seekers here. When the public diapproves of a fad it is j certain to be short-lived. We know j which way the wind is blowing in | this matter and we are trimming our sails to it. * “The order is in effect. Our fern- : inine players have been warned that they must stay feminine.” Others affected by the Warner Brothers’ order banning trousers from the wardrobes of its stars include Glenda Farrell, Aline MacMahon, Eleanor Holm, Helen Vinson, Claire Dodd, Sheila Terry, Pa- , tricia Ellis and Ruth Donnelly. A similar blanket efrder has been issued to the fifteen girls recently signed by the studios to be developed for possible future stardom.

JUNE 17, 1933

This week's vaudeville revue is produced by Carlos Romero, and it presents all new settings, costumes and performers. Ted Claire, who is called “The Original Joy Boy,” serves as master of ceremonies in the vaudeville revue and sings popular tunes. Clarie has appeared in “Artists and Models” and other Shubert musical shows. Demarest and Sibley offer their act entitled “Nonsensicalities.” Rube Demarest, who war once heralded as one of the greatest boy pianists, intermingles his humor and peculiar style of comedy with his eccentricities on the piano. Assisting him is Olive Sibley, who made her American debut at the Capitol theater in New York four years ago. Later she appeared in the New York edition of "Greenwich Village Follies.” Rodney and Gould do a hokum pantomime art that includes eccentric dancing. Rodney is tall, Gould shortfl They call their act “Clowning Around a Bit.” The Four Queens, girl tap dancers, present an act entitled ‘“Youth and Rhythm.” The Carla Torney chorus of twelve girls present three new routines again this week; a boxing number, a waltz ensemble and a Tiller routine. The Lyric stage band provides the music. On the screen “Trick for Dick’” tells the story of two rival magicians who amaze their victims, amuse the audience and reveal the secrets of their magic as they seek to show each other up. They solve a crime that has baffled the police, enlivening the proceedings meanwhile with comedy as the players are caught in the maze of magic. Ralph Morgan and Victor Jory impersonate the rival magicians, and the romantic elements of the plot are depicted by Sally Blane and Clifford Jones—a newcomer from the stage. Other players are Tom Dugan, Luis Alberni, Willard Robertson and Herbert Bunston. Lester Huff plays an organ solo and short films round out the program. Claire Gets New Job Claire Trevor, formerly of the Broadway theater, has done so well in “Life in the Raw,” with George O'Brien, that Fox officials have cast her in the Western actor’s next production, “The Last Trail.” Both are Zane Grey stories.

A Hard Job Fifty extras in the costumes of 1900 struggled through the archaic steps of the Bunny Hug, Bear Walk and Schottishe, as a forty-piece German band rendered the plaintive strains of “Wait ’Til the Sun Shines, Nellie,” “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” and “Ach du Lieber Augustine,” for beer garden scenes in Paramount’s “One Sunday Afternoon.” featuring Gary Cooper, Fay Wray and Frances Fuller.
