A Shoe-String Made Movie Has Good and Bad Points

Helen Hayes Wonderful with Her Hands, But Director of •Another Language' Forgets That Important Item. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN JV/f Y impression of ‘ Moonlight and Pretzels ’is that from a production •tv* standpoint it was madp on a shoe-string budget There is nothing lavish from the viewpoint of production and it takes a long time lor the story to get human. The title sounds silly and I guess it is. The director allows the picture to move very slowly at the beginning. The story is a back stage stori that of giving birth to a musical*show. You have the small town girl who influenced a song writer to compose the stuff that makes matinee audiences go "ga-ga." You have the prima donna who is a swell fellow, likes the composer but has the common sense that fresh money for a Broadway show does not grow all together on the ivory of a piano.

You have old man Depression just around the corner—meaning the villain who controls the costumes You have radio people, some stars and ethers not so hot. mingling with such people as Leo

Carillo. Mary Brian, Roger Prvor, Herbert Rawlinson and others. The scenery never becomes big until the tramp, tramp, tramp of the Forgotten Man number is flashed on the screen. This one number has the right to make this picture important. It has the modern up - to - the minute touch. • The melodies have

popular appeal but none will rank from a whistling standpoint with Gold Diggers” and "Whoopee.” Dance formations? Done wisely and cleverly on the shoe-string production basis. The girls are all well trained. Watch the "I Must to Get Up in the Morning to Go to Work” number. Here is realism of th-> right qualities. It lias been humanly developed on a shoe-string basis. Its simplicity makes it a hit. This reminds me of a certain California produced revue that came to an Indianapolis legitimate theater some seasons ago. Scenery nothing. Ideas—fine and even great. That's "Moonlight and Pretzels." Now at the Apollo. nun GREAT HANDS MUST BE PHOTOGRAPHED I will never forgive the man responsible for not photographing the magic and realistic hands of Helen Haves every second in "Another Language." Helen Hayes owns the most expressive and human hands in my memory with the exception of Mrs. Fiske and Bernhardt. And yet a

silly somebody clips off from your view and my view the big human express ion moments of the hand work of Miss Hayes. That is my only serious objection to the adaption of Another Language" from the stage to the screen. My other objection is that Robert Montgomery is wrongly cast. At times he does

Helen Haves

good work as tho husband who just rould not understand the reasons that a silly and selfish mother always wanted to keep her "boys” around her. And. please remember. I say that Montgomery does good work, but he just doesn't fit. Miss Hayes is cast as Montgomery's wife, who just does not understand the "another language" of her husband's small town family. I mean small town minded. The small town talk is so realistic at times that it hurts. And how. Just one family fight after another I will not forget the late Louise Closser Hale in one of the most unsympathetic roles she has given the screen. She is cruel vinegar all the time. The mother with the headaches and the imaginary ailments A most selfish creature. Marvelously played bv a great character actress. A fine example of "acid” acting. You will never find any better. My verdict is that the movie version does not compare with the stage play as written. There is some fine character work in this picture Helen Hayes is always marvelous also in an unsympathetic role. An a selfish one. I think the director has made a mistake in staging too many climaxes to the quarrel scenes. There is a shor* subject on this program that I will tell you about some other time It is grand. Now at the Palace B B B SO THERE CAN BE NO MI SENDER STAN DING So there can not be a bit of confusion Yes Whoopee, the movie, has b en shown in Indianapolis before its current presentation at another theater. And there are many reasons for the "re-issue” or the revival of the most successful musical comedy that Eddie Cantor has given the legitimate stage. In the first place, it was several seasons ahead of most of the musical movies at the time it was produced. In the next place, it has color photograph*. it ha* some ad-

vantages and many disadvantages because advancing groups never look individual. And a chorus must have human legs and faces if not singing talent. But this group has dancing and singing talent. It has fine comedy work on the part of Cantor. His singing is as individual and as fine as he ever gave the legitimate stage. There are numerous fine people in the cast. Some have dropped out of public attention. I mean on the stage. But this movie has comedy. It has beauty. It has melody, it has grace. It has beauty. “Whoopee" has the right to be revived, re-issued or what you want to call it. It has a different tempo than "Gold Diggers" and the rest of today's "moderns." Now at the Circle. Baa THE OBSERVER LIKES NANCY CARROLL To my way of thinking, Nancy Carroll rises above her usual standard of pictures in "I Love Th&t Man.” the story of a woman's undying devotion to "her man.” The story, which seems to me to be far-fetched and strained in

parts, tells of a high-powered confidence man and a high class social worker who fall in love. The social worker. p!ayd by Miss Carroll is not aware that life is jurt one big "racket" to her beloved, played by Edmund Lcwe. When she does find out that Lowe, who is known in the picture as

1 ilrr*?* £ '

Nancy Carroll

"Brains." is a good-for-nothing crook, is make no difference. Where he hangs his hat. there goes hers too. she follows him through a maze of incriminating jams and narrow escapes from the police, as he follows his chosen "profession.” Once during their spotted career, she almost gets this restless man of hers into a legitimate business. But the collar doesn't fit very well and. anyway, it isn't long before some of "Brains’ ” past hops up in the form of two of his former associates. who he once double-crossed. The climax of the picture comes>in a glorified bank robbery attempt, which fails. The big thing about this picture to me is the work of Miss Carroll. I don't know whether it was the work of Harry Joe Brown, the director. or not. but at any rate she gives one of the best performances that I havp seen her give. She seems freer and more human in her interpretation of this part. There is no strait-jacket acting in her role. She lends herself readily to the rapid-fire lingo of Edmund Lowe, and still keeps above it. I think you will like Nancy better in this picture than you have in most of her other ones. Edmund Lowe let's down on his hard-boiled attitude toward the rest of the world long enough to blend sincerely into the scenes he has with Miss Carroll. A great deal of the old “Quirt and Flagg" spirit still prevails in Lowe's acting however. I think that the ending of this picture was made too over-dramatic to be on a plane with the rest of the picture. On the short subject program Is W. C.

NATIONAL LODGE INSURANCE PLAN HITS NEW MARK Royal League Says Solvency of 100 Per Cent Is Shown. Preparing to co-operate in President Roosevelt's recovery program, the Royal League, national fraternal insurance association, is more than 100 per cent solvent, it was announced today. D T Lantz, scribe of Marion Council No. ’62. with offices in the Knights of Pvihias building, made the announcement of victory over the depression upon receipt of a wire from the fraternal headquarters in Chicago. The announcement was in the form of a report of an audit made by Clarence 1 Alford, actuary of Nashville. Tenn who was employed to audit the insurance records of the Royal League. The report showed the insurance affairs or the order to be 100 51 per cent solvent, as a whole Certain insurance divisions of the league were higher, according to Lantz, new business legal reserve insurance being 164 per rent solvent and the juvenile department having a solvency of more than 150 per rent W F. Traub. national head of tha league, explained that the high record of solvency was recorded despite the withdrawal of more than $700.000 which voluntarily was put aside in contingency funds to care for any unexpected drop n security values, unusual rise in the death rate or any other unanticipated drain on the assets of the organization "It also is significant that the Royal League has not. at any time, asked for or received financial aid from the R F C or any other agency.” said Traub. "We have managed, throughout the depression. to keep in a liquid condition by careful management of the investment funds." Dance Held by Lodge A dance and social evening was enjoyed Wednesday by about seventy-five members of Arrius court, Ben-Hur Life Associatoin. at 322 East Ohio street Drill practice was held during the evening, led by Louis H Mills, captain.
