Supplementing the featured attraction are especially selected short subjects including Andy Clyde in “His Brief Moment,” Movietone News, a Terrytoon cartoon and an organlogue novelty. In "The Worst Woman in Paris?” Lasky,.follows his first principle of presenting films with elements of novelty, and is sponsoring this new photoplay depicting a woman of Paris who finds anew type of life, and

an altogether new type of romance in one of the smaller towns of the American middle west. She leaves her companion of the Parisian night life and transports herself into anew world of simple pleasures and honest romance. She Is prepared to submit herself whollj to her new surroundings, and is about to succeed when the shadow.' of her all too-careless past rears its head and clears her vision. She is brought sharply to the realization that the simple life is not for her, and that her place is with her devoted night-life companion in the French capital. Benita Hume, reputed to be one of the most noted beauties of the stage and screen, has the leading role of the so-called “worst woman in Paris.” , Adolphe Menjou, playing a role that is reported as one of the mast fitting in that actor’s long career, is seen oppasite Miss Hume in the characterization of the man about town. The cast in support of the two featured players is headed by Harvey Stephens and Helen Chandler. Others in the film are Margaret Seddon, Adele St. Maur, Leonard Carey, Maidel Turner and George Irving. Monta Bell directed “The Worst Woman in Paris?” from the script of his own authorship. a a a THREE LEADS IN ONE MOVIE “Broadway Thru a Keyhole,” now at the Palace, reveals the romance of a night club dancer who is loved by a racketeer and by a famous radio singer. These three roles are played by Constance Cummings, Paul Kelly and Russ Columbo. Also appearing in the picture playing the roles of themselves are Texas Guinan, famous night club hostess and coiner of the phrase, “Give this little girl a big hand”; Abe Lyman ana his band, Eddie Foy Jr. and Frances Williams, Blossom Seeley, Gregory RatofT, Hugh O'Connell, C. Henry Gordon, Helen Jerome Eddy and others. Because most of the action of “Broadway Thru a Keyhole” takes place in gilded Broadway palaces of entertainment the picture was made as a musical production with a background a chorus ensembles, special production numbers, etc. Four new song hits of fast growing popularity are “You Are My Past. Present and Future,” “When You Were the Girl on the Scooter,” “Doin’ the Uptown Low’down” and “I Love You Pizzicato.” On the short subject program is a Mickey Mouse cartoon, “Mechanical Men:” an adventure novelty, “The Sea." and completed by the latest news events as recorded by Hearst Metrotone News. non BIG REVEUE NOW AT THE CIRCLE. Seventy-two thousand pearls, graduated in size from a pea to a walnut were used in dressing 100 beautiful girls in a scene from “Footlight Parade,” now at the Circle. A water scene in which water shjtfs were actually taken ten feet under the water shows the hundred sea nymphs, daughters of Neptune, in luxurious, although briny, surroundings. Costumes, of course, had to be waterproof and studio designers together with dance director Busby Berkeley, conceived the plan of clothing the girls only in golden rubber, molded to their figures and outlined with pearls. The water nymph number is one of the unique numbers of “Footlight Parade," a picture which carries a well-knit comedy drama plot in addition to its musical numbers. Two hundred fifty girls appear in the dance numbers designed and staged by Busby Berkely, genuis dance director, who created the ensembles seen in both “42nd Street" and “Gold Diggers.” There is an all-star cast headed by Indianapolis' own Dick Powell, Ruby Keeler. Joan Blondell. James Cagrvey. Claire Dodd, Frank McHugh and George Westfall. nan KAY FRANCIS TOPS MOVIE CAST Kay Francis, who co-stars with Edward G. Robinson in First Na-

tlonal’s big special production, ‘“I Loved a Woman,” now being shown j at the Lyric theater, delineates an 1 1 amazing woman who wins worldwide fame through love and ruth- | lessness. It is the most powerful j dramatic role Miss Francis has yet ' enacted. In her strange code of ethics she ! gets her start on the operatic stage | by throwing herself into the arms of ; a wealthy industrialist. But she is not content with one love and flits from lover to lover, as fancy dictates or her ambition prompts, her affairs ranging from young students to an older sovereign. She is able through a magnetic personality to inspire those with whom she comes in contact to almost superhuman deeds, and it is she who is responsible for the changing of a dilettante youth into a ruthless business man who comes near conquering the world before the gigantic structure he has built toppies over and crushes him. In addition to its intensely inj teresting love theme, “I Loved a Woman” treats dramatically with the frenzied finance employed in the growth of the packing industry to one of the greatest in the world. The picture is based on the novel, “Red Meat,” from the pen of David Karsner, author of “Silver Dollar.” It was directed by Alfred E. Green. The cast includes, besides the two stars, Genvieve Tobin, J. Farrell McDonald, Henry Kolker, Robert Barrat, George Blackwood, Murray Kinnell, Robert McWade, Walter Walker and Henry O’Neill. The Lyric’s program also contains the Fox News Weekly, “Honeymoon Haven”; a Port o’ Call travel film of ; Hawaii, and “Hot From Petrograd,” a comedy musical novelty, featuring Dave Appolon and his famous Russian string orchestra. a a a GAYNOR AND BAXTER STARRED Janet Gaynor and Warner Baxter are together again for the first time since they were seen in “Daddy Long : Legs,” in their latest picture for Fox Film, “Paddy the Next Best Thing,” now at Keith’s. In this film, Miss Gaynor and Baxter respond to the popular demand for more pictures in which! they are both featured. Miss Gaynor is a young impish I colleen, who adds a strong dash of ! roguishness to her famous wistfulness and thereby creates anew kind ’ of character for herself. | Baxter has the part of a bighearted fellow who, much as he may try, can not help falling head over heels for her. A Paramount News Weekly and a comedy complete the bill. a a a

ROUNDING ROUND THEATERS

“TT7E are sincerely trying to encourage better Saturday afternoon ▼ V programs and the development of family night programs at our neighborhood theaters,” declared Mrs. A. D. Lange, chairman of the motion picture committee of the Indianapolis branch of the American Association of University Women, in explaining the purpose of their project, “Better movies for children in our neighborhood theaters.” “We hope to further this plan,” she states, “by enlisting the interest and support of organized groups of parents. We know the theater managers are willing to co-operate in any practical way suggested by local leadership.”

Asa means to thi send, Mrs. Lange and her committee are issuing a bulleetin of films to be shown during the current month at neighborhood theaters. The films will be reviewed, rated as to general merit and classified as to suitability for various age audiences, that is, adult, young adult, famiyy and children under 12. Filmes which the committee considers unfit for showing will be omitted from the bulletin and objections registered directly with the producers. To obtain this information, preview committees, through the courtesy and co-operation of the downtown first-run theater managers, are seeing each picture as soon as it is shown in Indianapolis. Supplementary information is secured from reliable pre-viewing committees in other cities. This motion picture committee starteed as a pre-adolescent child study group, and still is primarily interested in children, according to Mrs. Lange. The members are continuing their study of motion pictures, stressing parent education as well as developing the distribution of their bulletin through all organizations interested in children and young people. One of the most active agencie's co-operating in this project is the organization of the twenty-six Mothers’ Clubs of the Indianapolis Free Kindergarten Socieety. This group is actively engaged in making personal cohtacts with the neighborhood theater managers to secure lists of bookings and to acquaint the managers with the point of view of the parents among their patrons. Beginning with the w’eek of Nov. 3 the recommendations of the committee relating to the current downtown pictures will appear in the newspapers. Members of the committee are as follows: Mrs. A. D. Lange, chairman; Mrs. T. Victor Keene. Mrs. Marvin E. Crle, Mrs. Donald C. Drake, Miss Jenna Birks, Miss
