Fanny and Kitty Spring a Brand New Beer Joke Jack Powell, Known as the Blackface Drummer, Stops the Indiana Show by Using a Chair for a Drum. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN FANNY WATSON, still big ard happy and as good a showwoman as ever, has anew job this season, and it has something to do with beer. Fanny tells her sister Kitty that she is employed at a brewery and is very happy in her owrk. Kitty lets out one laugh covered with frost and asks Fanny what she could do in a brewery. Fanny calmiy admits that she is an optician. Kitty let out another howl and asks Fanny what in the world an optician has to do in a brewery. Fanny knows her job. She has this answer: "I help people when they get cockeyed.” In other words, I am telling

you that the Watson Sisters are back in town after a long absence. This act is a stage institution and they know how to deliver material as it should be delivered. Fanny has a peach of a burlesque, probably should say impression, of Kate Smith. Fanny dedicates her air program to "the little shutins in Leavenworth.” Years have added new spice and knowledge of the theater to these two women. I want to call your attention to the Chinese Revue offered by the Honorable Mr. Wu. This is the nearest approach to real modern Chinese theater I have ever seen on the variety stage. In all of my years telling you about the theater. I easily can tell you this is the best Chinese act I ever have seen. And it is not a

ri j V '

magic or juggling act. It is the modern Chinese idea of the theater. Really grand. Watch the oldfashioned Chinese opening and closing that is old China with Mr. Wu very humbly craving indulgence on part of the honorable audience. Then the act becomes

Kitty Watson

modern with a splendid line of dancing Chinese girls and men. Watch these girls and boys doing a Chinese Floradora number. Personally. I *ish that Roscoe Ails would not use material that has double meanings. He is too good a showman to resort to this. His partner this season is Shirley Dahl, a good-looking and clever singer. Gene Sheldon has the mannerisms of Harry Langdon. His banjo work is excellent. His foil is Loretta Fischer. The Bradna boys have a mixture of juggling, hat throwing and the like. The Four Albee Sisters are good harmony singers, but the eccentric comic greatly overdoes her stuff. Arthur Petley and company close the show with an athletic offering. Short reel movies round out the bill. Now at the Lyric. a s a THEY CHEER AND LOVE JANET GAYNOR You probably will say to me, “Now, Hickman, do not go sour on Paddy, The Next Best Thing’ just because ’Pilgrimage’ didn’t attract as many people as you thought the picture merited.” i All right, I will try to heed your

Rebekah Order Also to Be Represented: Press Session Set. Indiana delegates to the Sovereign Grand lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and its subsidiaries, which will convene Sunday, Sept. 18, at Springfield, 111., for the annual session, which will continue for a week, will leave here Sept. 14 and 15. Four state representatives wil attend the Sovereign Grand lodge. They are the Rev. Golden H. Smith, New Albany, and George E. Hershman, Crown Point, both past grand masters of the Indiana Grand lodge, I. O. O. F., and R. B. Kolthoff, Lafayette, and Elmer D. Davis, Russiaville, both past grand patriarchs,

advice. I am goinj the entire judge of Janet Gaynor and Warner Baxter in "Paddy.” But—all right I will let you be the judge. I have seen two audiences yell, scream, laugh and cheer the “cute” antics of Miss Gaynor as Paddy when she sets her traps to win Warner B a x t e r as her sweetie. I have heard girls as well as women whisper,

Janet Gaynor

“Oh, she is too sweet for words” and I have heard other mothers compare Janet to their own Sadies, Maudes and Alices. Janet is a screen institution. She is the Mary Pickford of the day and all a manager has to do is just to whisper the fact that he has a Gaynor movie. The crowds do the rest. Certainly. You be the judge and I know that "Paddy” will pack the Apollo for days to come. a a a Alice Bradv and Frank Morgan build out of a confused story, a living, breathing set of characterizations which make the picture, "Broadway to Hollywood,” something real. The tale is of no particular consequence except as a ladder for

these two veterans to climb in the cons tr u ction of their beautiful characters. It concerns a pair of vaudeville players who are booked as the "Two Hacketts” and take New York by storm. They have a son who takes up the same profession. That son has a son who does the same thing. The picture dwells on the sameness of these three generations.

Frank Morgan

Jimmie Durante, Jackie Cooper and Madge Evans are members of the supporting cast but their parts are little more than mere bits. Watch the work of Alice Brady as she typifies the wholesome girl who falls in love and stays in love. Frank Morgan is equally forceful and convincing in his characaterization of Ted Hackett who is never j down and out and won’t admit it when he is. “Morgan has been good before but he goes a step farther in this one. I think you will like him , in anew and more genuine way. "Broadway to Hollywood” is not ' a great picture in my opinion, but

Mrs. Ruby Roesener

Patriarch’s Militant, department of Indiana.

Mrs. Revah Pressler, Crown Point, past president of the Rebekah Assembly of Indiana, will be the representative of the state to the Association of Rebekah Assembles. Mrs. Ruby Roesener, Indianapolis, past president, Association of Ladies’ Auxiliaries, Patriarch Militant, Department of Indiana, will be the representative to the Association of Ladies’ Auxiliaries, Patriach Militant, I. O. O. F. Mrs. Grace E. Child, Indianapolis, secretary of the Rebekah Assembly of Indiana, will attend the meeting of the Association of State Secretaries, of which she is treasurer. George P.

International Press Association, of which she is a member.

it has some really great acting, done by Brady and Morgan. Now at the Palace —(By the Observer.) JACK POWELL STOPS A STAGE SHOW When I was present at the Indiana, it was Jack Powell, known as the "blackface drummer,” who stopped the show by not only playing his drums, but getting great rhythm and melody out of a kitchen chair. Os course that was done with the aid of the orchestra. Have seen Powell many times in past years, but not lately. His method is nearly pantomime because

- Richard Arlen

he merely gasps his words. He is really a fine showman and he knows about the showmanship of drums. Hi s material is clean and he seems to get melody out of everything, even the buttons on the coat of Budd of the team of Col. Stoopnagel and Budd. Not satisfied with that he gets melody out of

the stage floor and even the arches of the stage. Fine showmanship makes Powell’s act one of the best. It is just one fine act that brings clean laughter into the theater. By this time you will probably have a slight idea that I am wild over this act. My ravings over Powell in no way takes away any glory from Colonel Stoopnagel and Bud, who are radio favorites. Their material is bright, sounds new and that is a great accomplishment. The Colonel, Budd, Powell and all the other acts have been placed and interwoven in a variety carpet by E. J. Weisfeldt, the revue director at the Indiana. No master of ceremonies is necessary under this method. The show has a splendid opening with the Abbott dancers. All of their numbers have color, action and novelty. The ballroom dancing of Kay, Katya and Kay has class. Kendall Capps has always been a good hoofer and a hard worker. The Four Mullen Sisters fit into the stage picture with their harmony dancing. The new bill introduces Lou Forbes as director of the orchestra. And the movie rightly has a prominent place on the bill because of the cast and the breezy story. The movie is "Three-Cornered Moon,” with Mary Boland, Claudette Colbert and Richard Arlen in the leading roles. Now at the Indiana. a a a Other Indianapolis theaters today offer: "With Williamson Below the Sea” and "Bed of Roses.” at the Ambassador, and burlesque at the Mutual and at the Colonial.
