Ring Crosby's latest starring picture. "Were Not Dressing," is now on view at the Circle.

In his drunken moments one foggy night, Errol stumbles into the vheelhouse, opens a door through which all the charts are blown, breaks the compass and they ail wake up, wrecked on a deserted isle. With loads of work to do. the sailor takes matters Into his hands and to the annoyance of every one. especially Carole Lombard, he puts them all to work. Complications increase daily, and become quite serious when Burns and Allen, a couple of naturalists, join their camp. How Bing sings his way through their troubles, eventually winning the heart of his wealthy employer, brings the picture to an entertaining climax. ana Two at Indiana The Indiana theater is presenting another double feature program this week, including "Come on, Marines' and "His Double Life."

of marines who are sour on bandits, j but sweet on blonds. Lowered in rank and sent back to i the tropical Jungles after an evening ashore that ends in trouble. Richard Arlen goes back to fighting ban- j dits with a vengeance. Word comes that a group of children, shipwrecked on the jun-i g!e coast, arc in danger of a native ! uprising. But the “children" turn out to be I grownup young beauties, and the i tough boys who were sour on bandits turn out to be sweet on blonds again. The second feature on the pro- j gram is “His Double Life, ’ a screen version of the English play, "The Great Adventure," which enjoyed the second longest run of any play on the London stage. It is the dramatization of Arnold Bennett's j novel, "Buried Alive.” In it Roland Young plays a difficult artistic genius. He assumes his valet s name when the poor chap is mistakenly buried under his j master's name, and marries Lillian j Gish, who had been carrying on a j matrimonial correspondence with j the valet. In an uproarious courtroom climax. he proves his identity by exposing his birth marks to the astonishment of the sour-visaged justice and the delight of the assembled crowds. The supplementary program consists of a news weekly and seelcted short subjects. a a a Romance at Apollo "Three on a Honeymoon,” new j Fox Film comedy-romance, adapted j from the popular novel, "Promenade j Deck.” from the pen of Ishbel Ross, j is the current attraction appearing j upon the screen of the Apollo theater, where it will remain through ! Thursday next. The new photoplay has been described as a romance with dramatic complications, comedy cavor tings and intrigue as delectable, gay and giddy as cocktails and caviar. And to be sure Zasu Pitts, in a leading role, has no little part in the carry;ings on. Sally Eilers and Charles Starrett have romantic characterizations. Other mebers of the cast are Henrietta Crosman, Irene Hervey, John Mack Brown, Russell Simpson and Cornelius Keefe. The story of "Three on a Honey- ; moon.” for the most part, concerns a spoiled but pretty girl who finds herself in numerous complications. On board a ship bound for a EuroI pean cruise, she becomes attracted | to the good-looking second officer I w'ho has been instructed by the captain to keep an eye on her. After many difficulties, their romance blossoms, and just when things are going smothly, the girl meets u honeymoon couple. It is this meeting that starts the fun. The bride finds herself threatened with blackmail, and the girl takes i it upon herself to help her out of her difficulties. During the ensuing unfolding of the film Miss Pius | and Henrietta Crosman go into a I little romance for themselves which proves to be the highlight of the picture.

James Tingling directed. Short subjects supplementing the featured attraction on the program include a Tarrytoon cartoon, “A Mad House.” a two-reel comedy, l "The Expectant Father." and a song ! hit story. "The Doctor.”

John and Mary Mason in a hilarious exhibition of the fine arts of roller skating; Gillette and Richards. who sing, dance and dispense amusing chatter, and the Chung Yee Wah troupe, sensational acrobats and jugglers from China, are among the arts. The Lyric Streamline Girls appear in radiant new ensemble divertisements. Constance Cummings, Paul Lukats and Philip Reed enact the principal roles in "Glamour." They are supported by a large cast which includes Doris Lloyd and Joseph Cawthorn. The story is. in the main, an exposition of “the eternal triangle” as it concerns the careers of a man. his wufe, and "the other man.” all sincerely and deeply in love. Though a note of lightness prevails during the opening scenes, the story gradually assumes the serious character of the tragic events which follow. Philip Reed, as “the other man," makes a successful bid for fame in the picture and his fine voice is heard in several songs. The action in "Glamour” ranges from New York to London and back again. While it is in no sense a back-stage story, yet, since it dea w'ith stage folk, it embraces mar interesting glimpses of theatrical life.

Quits Movies Elizabeth Young, screen ac-t-ess. will return temporarily to the stage. She is signed for the Los Angeles Belasco theater run of "She Loves Me Not,” Howard Lindsay comedy hit which now is being filmed by Paramount with Bing Crosby and Miriam Hopkins featured.
