Mefro-Goldwyn-Mayer's new production. "Beauty for Sale." a picturization of Faith Baldwin's Cosmopolitan magazine ‘Beauty," opened Friday at Loew s Palace for a week's engagement. "Beauty for Sale" brings to the screen a racy, swift, modern story of three girls who follow different paths to happiness, the roles being enacted by Madge Evans, Una Merkel and Flnrine McKinney, a newcomer to the screen. Madge Evans is seen in the role of a girl. who. faced with the collapse of the family fortune, turns to work in a beauty salon to make a living In spite of the fact that she see* worldliness about her. and falls in love with a married man. she manages to preserve the niceties of her southern breeding Una Merkel, on the other hand, is a capricious gold digger also employed in the same fashionable beauty parlor. Intrigue that begiivs in fashionable boudoirs, penthouses and houseboats and less pretentious apartments occupied by working girls, is brought into focus in the beauty parlor treatment rooms. Here wives and husbands' sweethearts meet and exchange mutual gossip with all the intimacy of Boccaccio characters.

held for the second week at the Apollo theater. The new film presents Will Rogers with what is reported as the outstanding role of his career, even surpassing his work in “State Fair" and ‘Connecticut Yankee." The acquisition of the Cozzens novel culminated an extensive search by the Fox company for a story that would afford Rogers a worthy successor to his memorable role in “State Fair." "Doctor Bull" will be remembered as the volume recently honored with selection by the Bpst-Book-of-the-Month Club and has already sold over a quarter of a million copes. In "Doctor Bull,” the title having been added by the star himself, Rogers is seen as a country doctor. He plays the role of a laconically shrewd philosopher who binds together a changing village and who views with distaste the conditions that turn his home from a “town to live in" to a “place on the highway." The role is reputed to be the perfect outlet for Rogers’ original humor and keen philosophies. The principal feminine role opposite Rogers is portrayed by Miss Vera Allen, recruited from the New York stage specially for this picture. according to reports from the studio. The supporting cast includes such prominent figures of the screen as Marian Nixon. Howard Lally, Berton Churchill. Louise Dresser, Andy Devine, Rochelle Hudson. Tempe Pigott. Elizabeth Patterson, Nora cecil, Ralp Morgan. Patsy OBryne, Veda Buckland, Effie Ellsler and Helen Freeman. John Ford directed the production. The screen adaptation was made by Paul Green who did similar service for Phil Stong's novel, "State Fair." Short subjects supplementing thp featured attraction on the program are Movietone News, a Terrytoon cartoon entitled. King Zilch." and Harry Langdon in "Hooks and Jabs.”

NEWCHATTERTON FILM ON VIEW Ruth Chatterton comes to the Ambassador Sunday for a threeday engagement in the-title role of Warner Brothers picture "Lilly Turner.” As Lilly Turner, the “cooch” daner and come-on girl for a carnival, she has in this picture more clandestine love affairs than most actresses portray. She flirts from one love to another with a wild abandon inspired by cruel mistreatment at the hands of her first lover. It is not until she finally awakens to real love that ghosts of her many sweethearts rise to haunt her. The picture is based on the stage success and reveals the life behind the scenes of the players in medicine shows and glamorous carnivals. Supporting cast include George Brent. Guy Kibbee, Frank McHugh and Ruth Donnelly. Short subjects will conclude the program. A first showing, picture. Bovd Added to Cast William <Stage) Boyd has been added to the cast of “The Fire Chief.” Ed Wynn's starring picture soon to be filmed at the M*tro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios. Dorothy Mackatll is the only other player so far selected. Boyd, whose nickname distinguishes him from his namesake who preceded him on the screen, has played in "City Streets." "Sky Devil’ 'and “State's Attorney.”

THE Indianapolis musical season will open on Sunday afternoon, Oct. 22, when the Martens Concerts, Inc., will present Rosa Ponselle, famous dramatic soprano and prima donna of the Metropolitan Opera Company, in the first of five Sunday afternoon attractions under the direction of the Martens’ management. All concerts under this management will be given at English’s theater. In planning the opening concert, Mrs. Martens had in mind the opportunity for the educators of the State of Indiana who will be in Indianapolis at that time, to hear Rosa Ponselle and to meet a personality whose rare gifts can be thought of only as romance.

The second of the series of Sunday afternoon concerts will be the recital of John Charles Thomas, Nov. 12, whose popularity has grown by leaps and bounds and the enthusiasm to head him presages an S. R. O. sign in the theater. Mischa Elman, celebrated violinist. will be the third number on Dec. 3; Sigrid Onegin, contralto, Jan. 28, closing with the Cincinnati Symphony orchestra and Walter Gieseking. pianist, as soloist with the orchestra. An announcement of unusual interest is that of Friday evening, NOv, 3, at English's, of the Don Cossacks Russian male chorus, with Serge Jaroff. conductor, will be heard in a program of songs. Mrs. Martens has been so besieged by the musical public to bring them again to Indianapolis that she finally was able to secure the above date. The Cossacks will only be in America nine weeks, and have had more requests for dates than they could possibly fill. nan On Sunday afternoon and night, Oct. 8. the Veterans of Foreign Wars will present Bohumir Kyrl and his band in two concerts. The soloists will be Anna Fitzu. soprano of the Metropolitan Opera, and Marie Kryl, pianist. The entire proceeds will go to the Veterans of Foreign Wars National Widows and Orphans’ home at Eaton Rapids, Mich. m m * An innocent-looking room at the Athenaeum is harboring strange events and harmonies every Wednesday and Sunday this fall.

At the same time, all over town phones are ringing and cars are dashing about as the front-line troops of the symphony’s annual membership drive are being recruited—“pressed into service,’ might be a good words, too—by that dynamo, Mrs. Herbert Woollen. The orchestra is making a most ambitious move this year. It has arranged to play its series of four major concerts in the Murat theater. thus gaining in seating capacity and making the concerts centrally accessible to more people. The members of the movement feel rather proud of the fact that this, the first co-operative orchestra in the country, started in a depression year on less than a shoestring and has beep able not only to survive, but also to grow in importance. in acceptance and in artistic strength. They even have a waiting list of musicians anxious to join in the work. The drive for membership, under the direction of Mrs. Woollen, is beginning to form. The following list of team captains has been announced: Mesdames Louis Thomas, Wallace C. Tomy. Wendel Coler, Edward Norvcll, Henley Holliday. Noble Dean, George Bailey. Eradne Ribben.

Cagney Is Star of New Movie •The Picture Snatcher' Opens Today at Keith's. If the average man or woman were asked what a "picture shatcher” Is, they would probably pass up the riddle without so much as an effort to guess at its meaning. To most people, it would have a doubtful and somewhat illegitimate sound, like bootlegging, smuggling and the like. Nevertheless, picture snatchers and picture snatching play an important part in the life of a metropolitan newspaper. Broadly speaking, a “picture snatcher,” in the* slang of journalism, is anybody on a newspaper whose business it is to get the pictures. each day, that are necessary to illustrate the important stories of the current twenty-four hours. Such a “picture snatcher” is the sort portrayed by James Cagney in his latest Warner Bros, production, which bears that name and starts today at Keith’s theater. In "Picture Snatcher,” as Danny, the ex-crook, Jimmy Cagney demonstrated what a practical asset a disregard for law and decency can be to a picture-snatcher in the employ of one of the saffron-hued dailies. Lloyd Bacon directed the picture, which is based upon an original story by Danny Ahearn. The Paramount News Weekly and short subjects complete an enjoyable program. MOTION PICTURES
