FAMED YIDDISH ART THEATER PLAYERS TO BE SEEN ON ENGLISH'S STAGE

George Raft Is Featured in New Film at Indiana ‘The Earth Turns,’ With Jean Muir and Donald Woods Also Is on Screen at Theater. The Indiana now is presenting George Raft in 'The Trumpet Blows” and "As the Earth Turns” with Jean Muir and Donald Woods. The story of "The Trumpet Blows” is a tempestuous romance in a background of Mexico and the bull ring. George Raft, who has just completed his education in the United States, returns to the home of his brother, a wealthy rancher, in Mexico. From the first, it is evident that they arc very fond of each other. Menjou warts Raft to settle down now, marry and forget all about* bull fighting. The younger brother does change his mind when he meets Frances Drake. But later, learning his brother loves the girl too, he

returns to his teacher, and makes plans for his return to the world's most dangerous profession. In the other film. "As the Earth Turns,” there is said to be a story of farm life in piesent-day New England—it is as modern as President Roosevelt's administration, yet it depicts a fundamental existence as ancient as man's cultivation of the soil. The story of the girl Jen (Jean Muir) Is the story of woman's life as it has been lived since the dawn of human existence. “A picture without hokum!” That is what Warner Brothers studios resolved to make, in the faith that the movie-going public is ready for sincerity and simplicity in its favorite form of entertainment. Donald Woods, who plays the role of Miss Muir’s leading man, will be remembered in Indianapolis a the leading man in the Casey company which enjoyed a stock season at English's a few seasons ago. a a a Beery at Palace Latest and perhaps most powerful of the screen's great romantic biographies, "Viva Villa!” fictional story of the life of Pancho Villa, great Mexican revolutionary leader, is now on view at Loews Palace. Wallace Beery, in the role of Pancho Villa, is anew and amazing personality. In late years Beery has been associated with semi-romantic comedy, but in the powerful figure of Villa he is oddly reminiscent of the Beery of his first great personal triumph, as another tragic figure, Richard the Lion-Hearted. Filmed largely in Mexico, frequently against obstacles that seemed insurmountable, the picture is presented as a fictional recording of Villa's achievements in freeing the poor, dethroning the tyrants, restoring peace to Mexico. More than 100,000 natives w-ere used in the tremendous battle scenes. Added to the spectacular aspects of the film is the romantic glow of the conqueror's affairs of the heart. Fay Wray and Katherine De Mille share the feminine honors. Surrounding the star is a notable cast that, besides Miss Wray and Miss De Mille, includes Leo Carrillo. Donald Cook. Stuart Erwin. George E. Stone, Joseph Schildkraut, Philip Cooper. Frank Puglia, Henry B. Walthall and others. Jack Conway directed "Viva Villa!” Also on the short subject program is the latest Walt Disney Mickey Mouse Cartoon "Shanghaied.” a burlesque subject.

gram appearing currently upon the screen of the Apollo. The Fox release has been dei scribed as a dynamic piece of melodrama and presents Spencer Tracy !in the leading role.

The city's mast exciting years, from 1910 to 1932, are lived again in this powerful story of a woman's great love for a strange man. It is a story that has never been told in its true light before, revealing intimate details of a fascinating life, and the dramatic events that led up to its tremendous climax in the man's tragic, mysterious I death. Murray Golden, the central figj ure in the story, presents Tracy | with a powerful role, according to Fox executives, with which he creates a great characterization. Helen Tw’elvetrees has been chosen to play the all-important role I of Virginia, the wife of Murray Golden, which in reality is the true ! role as played by the author, Mrs. Rothstein, in real life. The blonde charmer w-ith whom Golden carries on a secret love affair for several years is portrayed by Alice Faye, who appeared as Rudy Vallee’s sweetheart in "George White's Scandals.” Asa night club entertainer, she sings “Foolin’ With the Other Woman's Man.” Others in the cast are Robert Gleckler, Henry O’Neil, Hobart Cavanaugh. G. P. Huntley Jr., Vince Barnett and Shirley Temple. Edwin Burke wrote the dialog as well as directed “Now I'll Tell,” Iby Mrs. Arnold Rothstein. Winfield Sheehan supervised production.

of pleasure at the project, and offers of advice and assistance. Walter Dexter of the Dickens Fellowship and editor of Dickensian, has visited the Shepherds Bush studios and discussed the proposed film with Gaumont British officials. “I can not sufficiently express my enthusiasm for the idea.” says Mr. Dexter. "Dickensians all over the world will welcome ‘Mr. Pickwick,’ for the works of Charles Dickens still are the world’s best sellers in fiction. Last year more than 6.000.000 copies were sold. The film should have a great reception in America, for the Americans are keen, Dickensians and have long awaited a Dickens film set in really correct British atmosphere. "I shall watch the casting of the film with great interest. Mr. Pickwick himself offers a problem to the casting director. It must always be remembered that Pickwick was a gentlman, not a mere buffoon; the ridiculous and laughable situations which occur are centered not at him, but around him. He is a character gentle, kindly, shrewd; very much of the nature. I should imagine, of Edmund Gwenn.” Last-minute news sets Gordon Harker in the role of Samuel Weller. Actress Is Musician Genevieve Tobin, appear:ng with Cary Grant in B. P. Schulberg’s film. "Kiss and Makeup,” is an accomplished pianist and harpist.

'YosFie Kalb' Expected to Draw Capacity Crowd Maurice Schwartz to Head Cast and Great Star Mays Pull Full House to Performance. On Monday night at English's. Maurice Schwartz and his Yiddish art theater will be seen in one performance of '‘Yoshe Kalb.” Although it is late in the season, the announcement of this great star's performance merits a capacity audience. Painted with a gigantic brush upon a vast expense of dramatic canvas. “Yoshe Kalb, or Yoshe. the fool, presents a fifteen-year odyssey of a young Jewish mystic, fleeing from his imagined sins throuh Austria and Russian-Poland during the middle of the nineteenth century. The story starts with the intrigue laid by the Nyeshove Rabbi, thrice a widower, portrayed by Mr. Schwartz, to marry his 15-year-old daughter

to Nahum, the son of the Rachmanivke rabbi, that he might wed Malkele. 18-year-old orphan. Malkele is displeased with her elderly husband and falls in love with Nahum.. In desperation she sets fire to the synogog and during the conflageration she meets Nahum and runs into the woods with him. Nahum, conscious stricken, starts his wanderings of fifteen years, changing his name to Yoshe. and begetting the addition of Kalb because he is looked upon as a lunatic. His return, his trial before seventy of the world’s greatest rabbis, and his final flight after he is cleared form emotional moments difficult to forget. Memorable, also, is the music woven into the drama, the actions of the Chassidim —mystics—and traditional dances. Although drama is the keynote, humor has its place in "Yoshe Kalb.” ana Headliners at Lyric Two headline attractions are being offered on the stage of the Lyric theater for the current week. They are Colonel Fedor Maybohn's International Revue/ and the famous Radio Rubes, the latest act to create a sensation in New York where it filled an extended engagement at the Roxy theater. The screen feature is Warner Brothers comedy production. "Merry Wives of Reno.” with an all-star cast, mast of the players having achieved a hit in "Convention City.” Colonel Maybohn's International Revue consists of a company of twenty entertainers who appear in colorful “Russian Revels” characteristic of old and new Russia, and spiced by a bit of modern American entertainment. The principals include Mile. Mignone. Mile. Penny, Mile. Tazzi, Albert and Fonda. Lou Massee, Sasha La Rue and his Imperial Russian orchestra, and the energetic Colonel Maybohn himself. Rufe Davis is chief fun maker of the Radio Rubes, a quartet of bucolic laugh provokers, novelty instrumentalists and singers whose vocal harmony is of the most approved barber shop style. Davis is ably aided in the merriment by Artie Hall and John and Neal Labey. Other acts are Hatt and Herman, comedy trampoline experts. and Rena Rathburn in a laughable skit. "Merry Wives of Reno” is a comedy concerning early marriage and easy divorce, a sidlelight of our present day conditions, though in this particular case the divorce doesn’t materialize partially because of the beneign influence of Dan Cupid and because of the fact that the principals possess a sense of humor which can not be denied. Indianapolis theatergoers will be especially interested in “Merry Wives of Reno” because of the fact that Donald Woods, who was leading man of the Arthur Casey Players during their stock engagement at English's theater a few summers ago, is one of the principal players in the picture. Others include Margaret Lindsay,
