MARIE DRESSLER AND WALLACE BEERY TOGETHER AGAIN

Barbara Stanwyck Has Many Lovers in ‘Baby Face,’ Now Feature Movie on New Program at the Circle: Race Track Story at the Apollo. SCREEN lans, who have been clamoring for a return to the screen of Marie Dressier and Wallace Beerv in co-starring roles ever since their memorable work in Min and Bill," have their wish granted at s Palace where “Tugboat Anm* the much-heralded Metro-Gold-wvn-Mayer filmi/ation of Norman Reilly Raines Saturday Evening Post Stories, is on View ' Tugboat Annie’’ brings Marie Dressier to the screen in the role of a redoubtable feminine skipper of Puget .Sound, and Wallace Beery as the irresponsible but irresistible Captain Terry. The picture is a vivid blend of comedy and drama Marie Dressier

and Wallace Beerv have hilarious quarrels, thrills, tears and tense drama, with a background of northwestern waterfronts. Marie Dressier is seen as the aggte.ssive tugboat captain whose husband. played by Wallace Beery. Is a shiftless drunkard, and Robert Young is seen as the son who grows up. becomes captain of an ocean liner, marries the daughter of the shipping magnate and seeks to remove his parents from the tug which is their livelihood and home The father lapses into his old alcoholic ways and the son disowns him but when, in rescuing the sons liner, the father makes an astounding sacrifice, their difficulties are ironed out. Beery's scene, plugging leaking boiler tubes in a flaming firebox at sea. is the dramatic highlight of the production. Among the highlights of the story, are the race for the wrecked ship. Beery's comical theft of the tug's hawser and us denouement the breaking up of the schools commencement program, the hilarious celebration aboard the ocean liner when Marie Dressier samples the punch, the stirring sequence, the run of the tug to the rescue, and Beery's big moment'" when he enters the firebox of a boiler to save the endangered ship at sea. Featuring the short subject program is another riotous Our Gang comedy, “The Kid from Borneo,' and a James Fitzpatrick Traveltalk. which should bo entertaining as well as instructive. World news events as picturized by the Hearst Metrotone News rounds out the screen program for the week a a a BARBARA HAS MANY, MANY LOVERS. Barbara Stanwyck is now the champion sweetheart of the screen. At least in the number of men shdangles around her In Babv Fare," her latest starring vehicle now at the Circle, she has an even dozen screen lovers. For Barbara as the bahv-fared siren is as fickle as the famed Helen of Troy. She vamps her way through a great metropolitan bank, snagging the hearts of its male employes from the humble doorman up to the pompous president. She is given her start on her gold digging career by her own father who used her beauty as a lure to attract patrons to his beer flat. But she quickly absorbs the philosophy of Nietzsche through a studious cobbler who also likes his beer, and sets out to use men to her own advantage. How well she succeeds Is evidenced by the string of broken hearts and broken men she leaves in her wake. George Brent, who plavs the leading role opposite Miss Stanwvck. is the lover-in-chief and the only one for whom she has any real afTeettinn The others are used only as stepping stones in her determination to acquire wealth and luxury. Even he was at first merely another man to be "worked upon.” The other sweethearts she takes on and discards m rapid succession for men of more importance include Donald Cook. John Wayne. Henry Kolker. James Murray. Douglass Dumbrille, Nat Pendleton. Arthur Hohl. Harry Gribbon. Arthur De Koh and Alphonse Ethier Not all of these lovers go* very far with her. for her rode in "Baby Face" is to take all men But all are at her feet. Also, on the bill is the third in a series of Bobby Jones golf reels entitled "Position and Barkswing"— and Russ Columbo. famous band leader. In a fine featurette. "That Goes Double." Latest world events are shown in the Circle News. a a a GAMBLING STORY ON VIEW AT APOLLO "Don't Bet on Love," the exciting real-life drama of a workingboy who gambled for riches; a beautiful manicurist who staked all for lov and a gold-digger who scrambled their romance, is the featured film appearing upon the screen of the Apollo The engagement will continue through Thursday next. In addition to the full length film. th program consists of a baby burlesque comedy entitled "Kid's in Hollywood.” enacted by youngsters under 5 years of age. Other supplementary subjects are Movietone news and Bosko cartoon. "Don't B n i on Love” presents Lew Ayres and Ginger Rogers in costarring roles Both players have gained favor during the last few months, it is thought. Ayres' popularity being due to his performance in "State Fair.” opposite the winsome Janet Gavnor. Miss Rogers' sudden rise to stardom is reputed to be the outiAme of her work in ’Forty-Second Street” ajid "Gold Diggers of 1933 " The story, laid largely in the exciting atmosphere of the horse racing centers, tells the human side of a young gambling "phenom ' w ho knows more about horses than he does the fair sex Ayres, starred jn the rol. skyrocketed to the top

ROUNDING ROUND TT-TT? A'TT7P Q with Walter 1 llllfiA 1 lifKo D. HICKMAN

ONCE again the Circle and the Indiana theater passes to the control of outside theatrical managers. On Aug. 26. the Indianapolis Theater Management Associates. Inc., controlled by Sam Katz of Chicago and by Milton Feld and David Chatkin of New York, will take over these theaters. All three men have had years of movie theater management both in Chicago and New York City. Mr. Katz was one of the founders of the vast Balaban & Katz theatrical holdings in Cnfcago. Mr. Feld arrived here Tuesday

to look over his new properties. It has been indicated that Ac’ Berry at presentt manager of the Circle, will be retained in some managerial capacity. Before the Indiana closed, he was general manager of all the properties of the Circle Theater Company that leased the Circle and Indiana to Katz and his associates. If ability and past experiences amount to anything my personal opinion is that Berry should b” retained He is an experienced showman from every viewpoint and above all. I know he Ls a gentleman with all of us who review shows. Thp leasing of these two theaters removes Leo M. Rappaport, Herman Lieber and their associates from the active management of local movie theaters. Those gentlemen still own and operate English's. Mr. Lieber told me that no definite date has been set for the road show season at English's, but that a number of bookings have been "penciled in." Os course the booking map changes over night and I can make no predictions but this I am sure of —there will ly* more shows on tour next season than in the last five years. “Both Our Houses.” the Pulitzer prize winner, and “Dinner at Eight.” should be available for Indianapolis. The leasing of the Circle and Indiana will clear up the movie booking situation here which was at a standstill in many respects. I presume that Paramount features will go into these houses. a a a “The Lucky Number,” a comedy drama with music. Ls the latest Gaumont-British picture to reach the United States. The picture will be released throughout the country shortly after its American premiere on Broadway. Among thp others in the large cast are Joan Wynham, Frank Pet-
