PEARL AND DURANTE HEAD CAST OF ‘MEET THE BARON’,

•Saturday’s Millions,’ a Movie of College Football, Featured Offering at the Lyric: Circle Holds Over ‘Footlight Parade.’ ADIO fans now are afforded the opportunity to see what Jack Pearl. J-V the famous Baron Munchausen,” with his “Vas You Dere. Sharlie,” really looks like, as Meet the Baron” goes on view at Loew's Paiace The east includes Jimmy Durante, Zasu Pitts, whimsical comedienne of the Pitts-Todd comedies; Ted Healey and his hilarious Stooges; Edna May Oliver, Henry Kolker, William B. Davidson, and Ben Bard the real Sharlie” of the air waves. The story opens with Pearl as Julius, the valet of the real Baron Munchausen, and Durante as his other servant. When the real baron wants to go into hiding, he has his valet pose as himself, and Durante as his manager. They are acclaimed in New York amid much ballyhoo and showers of ticker tape, then taken to the broadcasting station for the baron to broadcast so that the public is given a chance to see just how it is done.

Prom New York they are taken to Cuddles college, a fashionable girls' institution where the Baron is to lecture, and there is the real beginning of a complete comedy riot. The Baron falls madly in love with the head chambermaid, played by Zasu Pitts and they select the icehouse of the college kitchen to make love. Amid ten tons of ice they stage a frigid, but none the less ardent, love scene. "Schnozzle’’ is completely swept off his feet by the love making of Edna May Oliver, who has the role of dean of the college. Ted Healy and his Stooges are the plumbers for the college and the highlights of their performance is the playing of the ‘‘Anvil Chorus ’ on the plumbing. The final climax is the unmasking of “The Baron,” his sensational radio offer which follows, and finally his reunion with his sweetheart, an amazing sequence of utter absurdities. “Meet the Iteron” was directed by Walter Lang, famous for “The Warrior’s Husband.” Heading the supplementary short subjects are those inimitable comedians, Laurel and Hardy, in a funfest titled ‘‘Dirty Work;" a Flip the Frog cartoon, “Soda Squirt,” Claude Hopkins in a musical novelty, ‘‘The Barber Shop Blues,” and Hearst Metrotone News. nan LYRIC OFFERS “SATURDAY’S MILLIONS.” “Saturday’s Millions,” Universal’s picture of college life, is the feature attraction at the Lyric. Packed with thrilling situations, the picture’s swiftly moving action is interpreted by a large cast of popular players. The leading roles are enacted by Robert Young, Leila Hyams, Johnny Mack Brown, Mary Carlisle, Joe Saurs, Andy Detune and Lucille Lund, who recently was crowned the “All American Girl.” “Saturday's Millions," based on Luciaij Cary’s story of the same name, breathes the very spirit of football and brings to the screen a rousing gridiron battle which for clarity and exciting action never has been excelled. The game provides a surprising climax to the closing moments of the picture. The tale deals with the life of Jim Fowler, star football player at Western university, embittered by the adulation of w’hat he considers ‘‘fair-weather friends,” and convinced that he is popular only because of his prowess on the gridiron. Fowler regards football as a “racket.” Only the severely tested loyalty and devotion of the girl he loves proves to him that his attitude is wrong. The Lyric's program will include the Fox news weekly, “Enchanted Trails,” a travelogue in colors containing scenes of America’s celebrated Grand Canyou. and "The Entertainer,” a comedy musical novelty starring Will Mahoney. non LESLIE HOWARD HEADS BIG CAST With Leslie Howard playing the leading role in which he originally created a sensation on the London and New’ York stages, “Berkeley Square,” Fox Film's latest production, is heading the program appearing on the screen at the Apollo. “Berkeley Square” is the fourth independent production by Jesse L.

When boys’ week of the city comes along, students of the high schools are appointed to the town’s executive, administrative and judicial posts. One of the boys, appointed to the position of district attorney, has seen the murder of a merchant by one of the town’s racketeers.

Undaunted, the boys go after more evidence. one of their numfeer is killed by the racketeer, and the murder is planted on one of the boys. The story reaches its height w’hen a mob of 5,000 indignant youngtsers kidnap the racketeer, drag him off to an old, abandoned quarry, where they hold a kangaroo court and obtain a confession from their captive. The Paramount new’s weekly, a cartoon and a comedy complete the program.

THERE was ample proof last night at English’s that the Don Cossack Male Chorus under the direction of Serge Jaroff was singing better than ever. The bass and baritone sections were in better voice than on previous visits here of the chorus. On the first visit here, the Cossacks were a novelty but now they are recognized as the best male singing group on tour. Was told that only two members are new this year but the fact remains that the men are responding to the conductor’s demands with more zest when needed than on previous visits.

The most notable achievement was the production of organ and other instrumental sounds. This was especially noticed in “At Church” and “In Memoriam,” a mass said for the dead. The reproduction of ringing bells in “Holy Night” was positive proof of the advancement of the chorus. The solo work received splendid support from the remainder of the chorus. My favorite of the program was the “Old Cossack Song” in which a whistler proved to be a sensation. This number caused the big ovation and then the conductor brought on three dancers in the steps of the soldiers of old Russia. This novelty received so much applause that another encore was added. These men sing without any effort and the years of training under Serge Jaroff have produced amazing results. Here is real choral singing. The chorus was presented at English’s by Mrs. Nancy Martens. I am happy to report there was no box office loss for this attraction. On Sunday afternoon. Nov. 12, at 3 o’clock Mrs. Martens will present John Charles Thomas in recital. a a a The choral section of the Matinee Musicale will assist the Indianapolis Symphony orchestra Tuesday evening when the symphony opens its fourth season at the Murat theater with a Brahms centennial program. The choral section, directed by Elmer Andrew Steffen, will appear in a group of Brahms songs. Three Hungarian dances, the First Symphony and the Academic Festival overture will complete the orchestral program. a a a * Vincent Burke, manager of English's, today announces that “Dinner at Eight,” stage version, will open a four-day engagement on Sunday night, Nov. 12. The only matinee of the engagement will be on Wednesday afternoon.

Shan-Kar Will Open Series Here Noted Hindu Dancer Will Appear at Caleb Mills Hall. Recognition of the art behind the novelty of the dances and music of India, which Uday Shan-Kar and his company will bring to Caleb Mills hall next Wednesday to open the civic music season of five concerts, has been accorded in all the cities of Europe and the United States where they have visited. In a long review of their performance appearing in the New York Times, the critic says: “From the purely visual point of view, it presents a brilliant spectacle. The dancers are personally beautiful, the costumes are rich, and even the musical instruments are pictorial. Though the dances are absolutely authentic, the theatrical quality has not been lost. They build in excellent form, sometimes to stunning climaxes, and are never without a definite beginning, middle and end.” Their dancing first of all is rhythmic. Precision in accent and phrasing and co-ordination of muscular action are points pralSfcd by critics, and in spite of the traditional background of these dances, they never are permitted to become purely formal, but always retain the vitality and freshness of spontaneous creations. A certain number of memberships still are available in the association. Headquarters is in ttte Medical Arts building. Starting Mighty Young Since 6-year-old Cora Sue Collins was picked as Baby Garbo for the “Queen Christina” picture, she has received more than two hundred requests for her autographed photo.
