'DANGEROUS CORNER' COMES TO ENGLISH'S STAGE TOMORROW

Lionel Barrymore's New Film Now Is at Palace Alice Brady Also Shines in ‘Should Ladies Behave,’ Latest Comedy-Drama Produced. Lionel Barrymore and Alice Brady, two of the world's outstanding stage and screen performers, are brought together in “Should Ladies Behave," which now is on view at Loews Palace. The supporting cast includes Conway Tearle, Mary Carlisle, William Janney and Halliwell Hobbes. “Should Ladies Behave" is a commentary' on life, similar to “When Ladies Meet,” and concerns the antics of six people week-ending on a Connecticut estate, with three women in hot pursuit of one man. The picture was taken from the recent stage success, “The Vinegar Tree.” Conway Tearle portrays the role of Max, the artist-in-demand, who is being pursued by the mother, aunt and daughter and. as is to be

expected, many funny yet dramatic sequences occur. Lionel Barrymore is the father and is a lovable old crab with liver trouble, trying to prevent his daughter from becoming sophisticated and learning the ways of the world. Alice Brady is thp fluttering, hairbrained wife and mother who conluses everything. Mary Carlisle as the daughter Leone, has a quarrel with her boy friend on her nineteenth birthday and decides that she should know more about the ways of the world and throws herself on her Aunt Winkie's jaded lover, much to Aunt Winkie's extreme annoyance. The daughter becomes engaged to the artist Max, and it is here that Lionel Barrymore as the father turns in an effective performance by outwitting the entire family. Heading the supplementary short subjects is one of the mast talked of subjects of the day. which promises to be very enlightening, titled “The Next War,” also one of the new Willie Whopper cartoons “Play Ball,” and rounded out by the latest Issue of Hcarst Metrotone News. a a a Thriller at Apollo H. G. Wells’ imagination, James Whale's direction, and expert acting on the part of a large cast of distinguished stage and screen stars are said to make Universal’s “The Invisible Man” a most striking piece of screen entertainment. The new film is appearing currently upon the screen of the Apollo. How Universal managed to put thus extraordinary story on celluloid is reputed to be one of the mysteries of Hollywood, because throughout the whole picture such incredible things happen that one is prone to shake his head and blink his eyes. The film is all about a superscientist who manages to make himself invisible by means of an obscure drug and then, half crazed by its effect, sets about to make the world realize his unlimited power. He does so in a graphic, startling manner, and strangely enough, there isn't a moment when the audience is not aware of the unseen man’s presence on the screen, when he is meant to be there. His wild course is so cleverly shown on the screen that it would be downright treason to describe it. And his fate is worked out in such a spectacular manner that memories of 'The Invisible Man” are bound to linger long with those so fortunate to see it. Somehow, according to studio reports, the treatment given this weird tale by R. C. Sherriff, who is credited with the screen play, makes this picture entirely reasonable. The cast includes Claude Rains, prominent New York stage artist, William Harrigan, Gloria Stuart, Dudely Digges, Henry Travers, Una O'Connor and Forrester Harvey. James Whale, it will be recalled, directed ''Frankenstein,” and the same treatment is given “The Invisible Man.” a a tt Powell Is a Detective Sauve William Powell returns to the type of role that first won him screen recognition in "Private Detective 62,” which opened at Keith’s yesterday.

trays, as the title suggests, a sleuth, but one of a different order than his Philo Vance characterizations. In this Warner Brothers offering, Powell is a tarnished, but more interesting, spy on erring wives and wayward husbands. Discredited in diplomatic circles, Powell is forced to employ his ferreting genius in domestic spheres. By his charm and adroitness he is unusually successful in a profession that is as remunerative as it is loathsome. Then he undertakes to “get the goods’’ on beautiful Margaret Lindsay, but makes the mistake of falling in love with her. Powell’s work in “Private Detective 62” is said to be ably seconded by that of Miss Lindsay, who may be remembered from her role as the girl on the “Titanic” in “Cavalcade.” Other roles in this comedymelodrama includes that of Arthur Hohl as Hogan, Powell's rascalpartner in the detective business; Gordon Westcott as the gangster; James Bell as the hophead; Ruth Donnelly, as Amy; Sheila Terry as “The Girl,” and Nataila Moorehead as Mrs. Burns. The supporting cast includes Arthur Byron, Ann Hovey, Renee Whitney, Hobart Cananaugh. The picture was directed by Michael Curtiz. A Paramount News Weekly and a comedy will complete the program. tt tt tt Alcott Story at Circle Concerning the remarkable authenticity of RKO-Radio Pictures’ dramatization of Louise M. Alcott’s classic. "Little Women,” George Cukor, who directed it, says: "We believe that of all the stories in the world this was one at least that would be made by authenticity and ruined by dramatic license. The book is sixty-five years old. Today it remains a best-seller. Twenty millionis of people have read it. In view of these facts we felt that such a remarkable volume should stand on its own merits. "To reproduce this great story,” Cukor continued, “the studio went to the limit in research work and the dpulicating of every scene described by the author. ‘‘Even the Alcott home in Concord, Mass., the locale for the original story, was reconstructed in Hollyw'ood. “Every character in the book makes appearance in the film, even down to Aunt March’s parrot and dog." Cukor says that many of the characters, particularly Katharine Hepburn as Jo, Joan Bennett as Amy, Frances Dee as Meg and Jean Parker as Beth, actually resemble the real Little Women as described by the author. Now at the Circle.

ROUNDING ROUND THEATERS ™U'UmTS

THAT American audiences are more up-to-date in the matter of musical understanding than the auditors of Europe is the opinion of Mischa Elman, world-renowned violinist, who arrived in Indianapolis today for his recital at 3 p. m. tomorrow at English’s as a Mrs. Nancy Martens offering. Elman’s familiarity with the audiences of both continents is unquestioned. He toured Europe as a violin prodigy, placing under the spell of his incomparable art all the capitals of the old country, and since 1908 has been one of the sensations of the American concert field.

Returning to the audiences of his adopted country on this tour Elman comes from a series of continental triumphs and is able to make the most recent comparison of musical gatherings on either side of the water. This comparison he finds to be altogether favorable to America. “Our country has not been poisoned by tradition,” says Mr. Elman, a naturalized American, “and for that reason a great Individuality can obtain a stronghold here. Europe has been accustomed to certain styles of playing, to certain interpretations which are set and fixed in each country, and anew twist in technic, program building, or interpretation is likely to fall on unwilling ears. “Europe, in the field of the violin, is divided into areas like the mineral map of a continent, for example, showing here the coal section, there the limestone district, and so forth. “Leopold Auer's teaching influences the violin playing of Russia; the traditions Joachim bestowed on his pupils have worked their way into the violin recital halls of central Europe” the Sarasate ideas are prevalent elsewhere; Paganini’s theories linger in another section. “If you are a pupil of Auer, as I am, your reading of the Tschaikowsky concerto, we’ll say, will not be according to the ideas that reign in the Joachim district. It makes touring difficult and exasperating. “In America, however, no such traditions persist to restrict the artist's full expression. Here the performer has the chance to make

a personal interpretation. If he departs from what has been heard in that community before, that does not necessarily condemn him. “Each American concert-goer judges the performance for himself, not through the dicta of centuryold traditions, and the high level of individual American taste makes for a greater and more individual performance by the visiting artist.” n a tt Bomar Cramer, noted pianist, will play at 8:30 Monday night at Caleb Mills hall for the benefit of the scholarship funds of Mu Phi Epsilon, national honorary musical sorority, and Sigma Alpha lota, national professional musical sorority. The concert was postponed from Nov. 28 until Dec. 4, due to the serious illness of Mr. Cramer’s former teacher and friend, Pettis Pipes of Sherman, Tex.

Herbert Rawlinson Is Cast With Beverly Bayne J. B. Priestley's Comedy-Drama Is Fourth of Oberfelder Presenations in City. With two noted Broadway players and former picture stars, Herbert Rawlinson and Beverly Bayne, heading the cast, J. B. Priestley’s com-edv-drama, “Dangerous Corner,” comes to the stage of English's as the fourth road show production of Arthur M. Oberfelder's season, starting tomorrow night. The play was one of the outstanding damatic hits of the last Broadway season. Late in April, it closed a run of 210 performances at the Empire theater in New York and early this season it played a seven weeks' engagement at the Illinois theater in Chicago. It will be presented here with a much stronger cast than the Chicago

company and at the same popular scale of prices as prevailed for “Dinner at Eight,” “Double Door” and “There's Always Juliet.” According to the New York and Chicago critics, "Dangerous Corner” brims with action and is full of tenseness and excitement. It concerns a group of smug and sophisticated New Yorkers who are guests at the country home of mutual friends. After dinner, conversation reaches a dangerous corner when a chance remark, dopped accidentally by one of the guests, starts the unfolding of conversation and events which reveal a series of secret villainies and develop a gripping dramatic climax. The cast follows; Charles Stanton Herbert Rawlinson Olwen Peel Beverlv Bavne Betty Whitehouse Betty Hanna Gordon Whltehouse Donald Koehler Maude Mockririee Isabel O Madigan Frieda Chatfield Charlotte Wvnters Robert Chatfield Grandon Rhodes During the days of the silent pictures, Mr. Rawlinson was one of the most popular stars. His latest picture was “Moonlight and Pretzels.” He made his legitimate stage debut in New York, at the Hudson theater in “City Haul,” a political comedy, in which he was starred during the New York and Chicago runs. Last season Mr. Rawlinson scored one of his greatest successes in John Golden’s production of “When Ladies Meet.’ Miss Bayne has been prominent on the Broadway stage since her retirement from the screen. During the last few seasons she has been starred in such productions as “Gala Night,” “Once in a Lifetime,” “Death Takes a Holiday,” and “As Husbands Go.” Miss Betty Hanna, who has the ingenue role in “Dangerous Corner,” won renown in New York playing opposite William Gillette in “Sherlock Holmes.” and with Paul Muni and Edwin G. Robinson. tt tt tt Big Variety Show Vaudeville’s biggest family act— Weaver Brothers and Elviry with the "Home Folks”—known to every patron of the variety theater as “The Arkansaw Travelers,” now are playing at the Indiana theater. The present season's “git-up” of the Weavers, as Abner “Arkansaw,” champion master of ceremonies, would describe the entertainment, contains some of the sure-fire material which has survived the tests of fifteen odd seasons and augmented the routine with much that is new. The Weavers are more numerous this season than heretofore—no less than a dozen of the clan accompany the organization. The Weavers offer a three-in-one act, presenting an hour of old-time songs, old-time dances and moun-

At Ohio

Carveth Wells, noted explorer, courageous wild animal hunter and interesting radio story teller, is coming to the Ohio theater Monday in the African hunt picture, "The Jungle Killer," a production of Century Pictures. “The Jungle Killer” is described entertainingly in sound by Mr. Wells, who also introduces natives of the dark African regions, which furnished him with guides who assisted him in slaying and trapping the animals. “The Jungle Killer” not only offers entertainment to picture fans generally, but is of particular interest to hunters who revel in the hazardous exploits of the principals in this film. Asa supplementary offering in good taste, "Alice in Wonderland” is added as second feature showing a panoramic conception of the everwondrous fairy tale. Likes Rainy Days Charlote Henry, the Alice of Paramount’s “Alice in Wonderland,” considers rainy and cloudy days lucky for her, as she got both her important stage and screen roles in that kind of weather.
