'THERE'S ALWAYS JULIET/ WITTY COMEDY, IS COMING TO ENGLISH'S

Joan Crawford Comes Here in New Movie, Playing Alongside Clark Gable ‘Dancing Lady/ Bringing Two Famed Stars Together for First Time, Opens at Palace for Week’s Engagement. With Joan Crawford and Clark Gable headlining a huge cast, a smashing parade of song hits and a sensational Broadway drama as story motivation "Dancing Lady.” which opened yesterday at Loews Palace, towers to new heights in screen musical entertainment, it is claimed. "Danring Lady marks the first time Joan Crawford and Clark Gable have appeared together on the screen since their teaming in “Possessed.” In the new musical film, they are

supported by Franchot Tone, May Romson, Winnie Lightner, Fred Astaire, famed dancing star; Art Jarrett, Robert B' nchlev, Ted Healy and his stooges, Gloria Foy, Nelson Eddy and Grant Mitchell Direction is by Robert Z. Leonard. Joan Crawford appears as a dancer in a cheap burlesque show at the beginning of the story of “Dancing Lady.” When the cast is jailed following a raid on the theater, she is freed through the intervention of a rich society youth, plryed by Frenchot Tone. She spurns his further overtures, however, and determines to obtain a job in a ‘ Follies” chorus as a result of his cynical remarks. She succeeds only in being fired immediately by the hard-boiled Patch Gallagher, a famous stager of revues, impersonated by Clark Gable. Realizing that personal influence and pull are necessary to get a foothold on Broadway, she makes a bargain with Franchot Tone. He is to get her a part in Gallagher’s show—if she makes good, all right; if sh , ‘ doesn’t, she will marry him. Tone becomes the silent backer of the show, and as a result Gallagher is forced to give the girl a job. The complications which follow lead to a spectacular climax. Among the song hits in the picture are “Everything I Have Is Yours,”! “Hi, Ho, the Gang's All Here,” “Let’S; Go Bavarian,” “My Dancing Lady,” 1 and “Go, Go, Go.” The music and lyrics are by Rodgers, Hart, McHugh and Fields. The supplementary short films on the surrounding program includes Thelma Todd and Patsy Kelly in Hal Roach’s newest comedy, “Backs to Nature,” a James Fitzpatrick Traveltalk entitled “Scotland, the Bonnie,” and the latest edition of Hearst Metrotone News. tt tt tt Clara Back on Screen Clara Bow, the erstwhile “It" girl of the screen, returns to her many locgl admirers in “Hoopla," the new Fox photoplay heading the Thanksgiving week program at the Apollo. The new film will continue through Thursday next. “Hoopla” is the screen adaptation of John Kenyon Nicholson’s stage success, “The Barker,” and is thought to be a suitable vehicle for the fiery auburn-haired Clara. The screen version was written by Bradley King and Joseph Mancure March. Frank Lloyd, widely heralded as the maker of "Cavalcade” and “Berekley Square,” is the director of the picture. The back ground of the story is a country carnival, and it. presents Miss Bow with an entirely new environment. Against its ever-chang-ing nature, she offers what has been heralded as her most important role on the screen, according to studio reports. She plays the part of a carnival dancer who sets out to win the love of a young man whose life is far removed from carnival life. She starts on her venture as the result of a wager, but finds herself enmeshed in a romance that is entirely strange to her. Supporting Miss Bow is a cast numbering many of Hollywood's most attractive personalities, including Preston Foster, one of the newer lights on the Fox roster; Richard Cromwell. Richard Mndin, James Gleason, Minna Gombell, Roger Imhoff and Florence Roberts. Supplmenting the featured attraction on the program are Movie-

What goes on in 1 the boudoirs of these scheming “ladies of the evening”? What are i the secrets of Broadway’s profes- | sional purveyors of pulchritude? The answer of these interesting j questions are provided in “Ladies Must Love,” Universal’s gay musica: picture, which opens today at Keith's for a four-day engagement j with June Knight, Neil Hamilton Dorothy Burgess, Mary Carlisle am Sally O'Neil in feature roles. In the story the three latter girl; ! are seen as out-ond-out gold dig • gers, loving ’em and leaving ’er. 1 when they run out of money, bv. | the more charitable Miss Knigh i who shares their luxurious Par, avenue penthouse, exhibits trace; of a conscience, and refuses to accept the lavish gifts of the wealthy Ne,il Hamilton. It is when this situation strikes rough water and June loses her man through a misunderstanding that the other three girls, each blaming the other for the loss of a promising meal ticket, stage a knock-down and drag-out fight that entirely wrecks the apartment. A Paramount News weekly and a comedy complete the program. a a u 'Man's Castle' Here “Man’s Castle” is the feature screen attraction now playing at the Circle theater. The matchless craftsmanship of director Frank Borzage, it is said, has wrought of the simple, beautiful love story in “Man’s Castle,” the most glorious romance since “Seventh Heaven.” A love born of the fragile dreams of two hungry hearts is unfolded in the contrasting setting of a sombre, poverty-ridden depression community, and portrayed by Spencer Tracy and Loretta Young. Spencer Tracy plays the role of "Bill,” an irresponsible gruff, kind, but charming fellow. Loretta Young is “Trina,” a hungry, homeless girl, who is befriended by “Bill,” and taken into his miserable shanty home in the squatter community on the riverfront. The ecstatic love of these two young people is the story of “Man’s Castle.” Others in the cast axe Glenda Farrell, who plays a role similar to the one she had in “Lady for a Day,” that of a musical comedy star. During the course of the film she sings several songs. Arthur Hohl, well-known character actor, is cast as the braggart, “Bragg” a powerful character; Walter Connolly as a preaching night watchman; the ever colorful Marjorie Rambeau as a broken-down prostitute, and Dickie Moore. The supplementary program consists of selected short subjects and a Paramount news reel. o a a War Movie on View “Forgotten Men.” which opens today at the Ohio theater, is described as an authentic World war film showing the participation of the fourteen warring nations in action. Legion posts throughout the country from New York City to the Pacific coast, together with all the other war organizations, have indorsed “Forgotten Men" as the most truthful picture of the war shown upon the screen. It begins with a friendly visit by King George to the kaiser, and a few months later the mobilization of troops in Europe, with battles soon raging on all fronts; aerial raids destroying homes and business blocks, and submarines sinking ships, then finally the A. E. F.. entering the war with tanks, tough and courageous doughboys who obeyed the command to push forward, onward to win. “Forgotten Men” is playing its local engagement under auspices of

AN example of the progress made by the younger generation in dramatics is shown by Thespis, play-producing organization of Butler university, in its staging of amateur productions. The Thespis theater, or workshop as the student players call it, is perhaps inadequate for staging major productions but does, nevertheless, provide a means for expression of dramatic ability among college students.

Thespis opened its seventh season last week when three one-act plays were presented. The organization was founded in 1927 more as a “coffee and sandwich” club than a dramatic organization. First plays were given for amusement of the members, but just one year later Thespis won national recognition. It was on April 19, 1928, that Thespis proved its dramatic ability. After rehearsing “Dust of the Road” on a make-shift stage, with no lighting system aside from study lamps, the play was introduced to the student body. It was well received, and after several more rehearsals, the players entered the National Play contest at Northwestern university, Chicago. Thespis brought home first honors from the national contest, having defeated such schools as Purdue, Wisconsin and Illinois. tt tt a AGAIN national honors fell on Thespis when, in 1932. the players were awarded first place in the interstate radio dramatics contest in Chicago. The present organization, to which members are elected by competitive trials, will attempt to carry on the tradition of Thespis by producing two major plays during the

year in addition to a “noontide” production once each week. Fundamentals of stage expression and presence are studied by the amateu: ;j in their weekly plays. Each member is given an opportunity to serve as director, stage manager, casting director and make-up artist during the year. The workshop is a miniature legitimate theater. A complicated lighting control system has been installed, the stags is permanent and adequate, and the theater has been completely redecorated. A mutil-colored curtain will probably remain as one of the traditions of the organization. It is made of pieces of brightly colored scarfs and other clothing donated by students when the organization was in its early stages and could not afford to buy suitable properties. tt a a Arthur M.

Lester Vail, Broadway Star, to Appear in Oberfelder Show With Violet Heming John Graham Spacey and Helen Ray Also Have Important Roles in Next Week’s Production of Legitimate Cast. English's is bringing another New York hit to Indiana when Violet Heming opens tomorrow night in Arthur M Oberfelder's road show production of “There's Always Juliet,” a witty and sophisticated comedy in three acts by John Van Druten. Lester Vail. Broadway leading man. remembered bv thousands of movie fans as the romantic matinee idol type who played opposite Joan Crawford in “Dance, Fools, Dance,” and with Marion Davies in "It's a Wise Child,” is Miss Heming's principal support.

Violet Heming is a stage star who should need no introduction to the theater going public. Born in England, she came to America at an early age to play Wendy in "Peter Pan.” “There's Always Juliet” is a comedy whose setting is laid in the fashionable east end of London. There Leonora Perrycoste meets Dwight Houston, an American architect, and the two are mutually attracted to each other. * Houston, being the dashing, impetuous lover, calls, uninvited, upon Leonora. They break their respective dinner engagements and go to a revue. Houston is recalled suddenly to America. Leonora wants to accompany him for the night as far as Southampton, but he refuses to permit her to compromise herself in this manner. They suddenly realize, although neither will admit it, that they are madly in love with one another, and these complications stir up the plot until the final happy ending. This production is the third road show to be brought to English’s by Mr. Oberfelder. a a tt Revue at Indiana The Indiana theater opened the Marcus show yesterday with a company of sixty-nine persons phis two added attractions and a screen bill of Vina Delmar's love story, “Chance at Heaven,” featuring Ginger Rogers.
