At the opening of the picture Tracy is seen as a small town fellow who might have married tire rich girl in his home town, but, who instead marries the girl he loves and goes to New York to manage n small cigar store. Here he struggles and squabbles with his wife over nickels and then they kiss and make up in th-ur tiny room. A quarrel precipitates an accident in which Tracy is knocked unconscious. When iie comrs to he finds himself m his own home town among people he knows to have passed on He looks into the mirror and sees his face to b-> his own at the age 22 He is drawn into the regular humdrum of life during his youth, marries the wealthy girl, and finds himself living life all over again at an entirely different angle The difficult role of Tracy's wife. Mary, is portrayed by Mae Clarke, remembered for her sensitive performance in "Waterloo Bridge." also in such productions as Parole Girl" and "Fast Workers " Another prominent role is filled bv Otto Kruger, noted stage actor, who makes hts first talkie appearance in "Turn Back the Clock." Holding the feature spot on the short sub wet program is a Mctro-Goldwyn-Mayer Colortone Musical Revue titled "Beer ;d Pretzels": also a James-Fitzpatrick Traveltalk which always promise to be entertaining as well as educational. World-wide news events as pieturized by the Hearst Metrotone News rounds out thp screen bill for the week a a a “PILGRIMAGE" IS APOLLO'S BIG EVENT The opening of Pilgrimage.'' described as hit number two during the Month of Better Movies at the Apollo theater, is thought to have marked the introduction of one of the most important .wreen productions of recent months. The new photoplay had its local premi re vesterday. and will continue through Thursday next. "Pilgrimage'' is reputed to have the sweep of "Cavalcade 1 and the intimate niceties of State Fair." combining these elements into a unity of entertainment that should be hard to surpass. The story is the simple one of a mother who runs the gamut of emotions as she breaks up one romance and subsequently cements another She sends her only son 10 w ar and to his death in order to keep him from marrying the girl he loves. The years that pass fail to heal the wound she has inflicted upon herself. But she stoically accepts it as one of the vagaries of mother-

ROUNDING ROUND THEATERS VA™

THE local theater situation looks better just now than it has to me ior at least five years. The Lyric theater on next F’riday will be a vaudeville theater with seven acts of vaudeville and short reel movies. Tins is the policy that made Charles M Olson famous and wealthy years a o at this same house. Olson will book all of his shows personally.

His first variety bill next Friday will fiat ure the Watson Sisters. Fanny and Kitty. The bill will include Gene Sheldon and company m "Panto-Mirth"; Arthur Petley and company in a comedy turn; Mr. Wu in "Chinese Night"; Radclifle and Rogers, the Four Bradnas and another act. Things are splendid at the Circle and Indiana as Ace Berry is reamed as general manager of the pmper’ies lor Milton Feld and his associates. Tom Long is back at his publicity desk for the Indiana. And that is just as it should be. Berry knows his theatrical berries so to speak. The Circle will continue as a feature movie theater while the Indiana will go into elaborate stage shows and pictures with special attention to music. And that is good news. hood. It is not until she made witness to another youthful romance, about to be blasted by the selfishness of a mother, that she wakes to the truth. Henne'ta Crosman. seasoned stagp star. ;s seen as the mother. Shi is reputed to bring every ounce : her many years’ experience on the start to her characterization. Heather Angel, another newcomer to the screen, is seen as one of the lovers. Norman Foster and Marian Nixon are thought to be understanding and attractive in the romance that opens the story. A number of screen stars of the past are seen m the new photoplay. They are. in part. Charley Grapewin. Robert Warwick. Louise Carter. Betty Blythe. Lucille La Verne, and Francis Rich. Other members of the cast are Hedda Hopper. Maurice Murphy. Francis Ford and Jay Ward. John l ord directed from the popular story by Ida A R Wviie.

1— Fann> and Kitty Watson, well known variety entertainers, will headline the first stage show at the Lyric, starting next Friday. 2 Gene Sheldon also will be on the vaudeville bill which opens next Friday at the Lyric.

Mr. Olson tells me that Henry Burton remains as manager of the Lyric with Ted Nicholes in charge of publicity. Both very fine. Keith's is planning to open shortly as a movie theater. English's will get underway with its legitimate season very shortly. Some splendid road attractions have been booked. And that is the new playout theatrically in Indianapolis. The Palace and Apollo continues their successful policies of feature pictures. The only theater not announced as re-opening is the Ohio and I expect an announcement any minute. a an Those in the theater business all have pets. Charles Olson, new owner of the Lyric, brought his pet canary by airplane all the way from Los Angeles to Indianapolis. Ant does this bird get attention? He surely does. When he gets feeling bad. Olson sends him to a bird hospital. The bird perches himself upon Olsons newspaper as he reads. Jac. Flex at the Palace has two fine bull does. These dogs are so ritzy that they have their own dressing room back stage. Baa When the Lyric theater, again under the control of Charles M. Olson. opens its vaudeville season Friday, Sept. 1. it will have the unique distinction of being the only theater in the country presenting vaudeville bills not augmented with feature photoplays. This policy is not new to the Lyric. It prevailed for fifteen years during Olson's former ownership. The Lyric was then recognized as one of the most successful vaudeville theaters in the United States. Though he has not been actively engaged in theatricals since 1927, when he disposed of most of his theater holdings, the Lyric among them. Olson has retained faith in vaudeville as a leading form of theater amusement, especially when the acts are carefully chosen with a view to rheir blending into wellrounded bills. It was this faculty of personally selecting acts with a view to their flavoring the bills with the requisite

degree of the variety that goes to make vaudeville, that particularly distinguished the Olson management. Olson states that the Lyric's shows will consist of seven acts of the best quality of vaudeville obtainable. These will include internationally known headline acts and features of exceptional quality. In addition to the acts there will be a diversified program of short talking picture subjects, news reels, comedies travelogues and novelty films. A continuous performance will be given from 1 o’clock in the afternoon until 11 o'clock at night. Popular prices will prevail.
