Treasure Island, starring the never-to-be-forgotten chums of ‘‘The Champ.” Wallace B**ery and Jackie Cooper. A blustering pirate with blood in his eye and friendship in his heart, and a young boy in the midst the great adventure of his life—these are the characters brought vividly to the screen in “Treasure Island.” The appeal of this great screen team, which made motion picture history in The Champ and more recently in ‘The Bowery.” in this latest vehicle has a story that carries them to stirring dramatic heights.

Their adventures together on the good ship Hispaniola.” and later on the island in search of buried treasure where Beery as Long John Silver saves his young friend. Jim Hawkins, from the pirates, will stir the emotions of miliions who have read the book and bring new thrills to those not familiar with the story.

Lionel Barrymore's portrayal of Billy Bones us said to be one of the finest pieces of artistry the famous actor has done in hLs career. Otto Kruger is Dr. Livesey, Lewis Stone plays Captain Smollett, captain of the Hispaniola; Nigel Bruce huffs and puffs in old English fashion for the part of Squire Trelawney. and “Chic” Sale adds comedy touches as Ben Gunn, marooned pirate.

George Brent and Ann Dvorak is on now at the Circle Theater. It concerns the dramatic story of a faithful young and beautiful housewife who inspires her husband to success through the force of her courage in his ability and who has to fight to keep him from a modem bachelor girl in his hour of success. • We find Brent working in the office of a successful advertising office where he is cramped under the stern demands of an employer who considers him only a very good Clerk who should mind his pencils I and pens, and not bother the big shots of the business with suggestions. He becomes very dissatisfied with the arrangements but lacks the courage to do anything about it until his wife takes matters into her own hands and shows him how they can get along until he lands a good advertising contract. In the meantime. Betty Davis comes into the firm as a highly paid copy writer and we find that she is a sweetheart of Brent's boyhood days. She goes to work with Brent in his new business and they have an affair that starts to wreck Brent's home until once again the courage and fidelity of his wife saves him from disaster. The outcome of the marital tangle is brought out in an interesting and unique manner. The picture was directed by Alfred Green and the cast includes, John Halhday. Herbert Cavanaugh and Joe Cawfhorne in the supporting cast. nan Rogers in Last Week Will Rogers' newest photoplay. “Handy Andy.” produced by Fox Films, and reputed to have supplied Indianapolis theatergoers with much merriment since its opening Friday.

"We want to give Captain Kidd’s ‘hijackers’ another opportunity to find ‘pieces of eight’ in the sands, so we are increasing the number of medallions for tomorrow,” Bennett explained. No person will be permitted to use any instrument larger than a table knife to dig in the sand.

Harold Lloyd s Wife Passes Judgment on The Cat s Paw'

There is one critic who always manages to get to the first assembling of a Harold Lloyd picture wherever it is made. This practice hardly can be considered a breach of tradition, in view of the fact that the critic is Mrs. Harold Lloyd. Now that Harold is dedicated definitely to anew kind of comedy characterization in "The Cat's Paw,” the buffooning boy grown older and wiser though no less funny, he needs the counsel of his wife more than ever. “I felt like the fellow who invites his sweetheart to his first college dramatic venture when I insisted that Mildred appear at the first filming of the new picture,” Lloyd said. “Against the advice of almost every one, except the author of The Cat’s Paw’ and a few others, I buried the past screen characterization, saving only a pair of hornrimmed glasses and little more.” Lloyd’s departure into the fresh comic venture is in direct line with his philosophy of life and work. Born in Denver, the Lloyd family moved to Beatrice, Neb., when Harold was a lad of 9. His father was not doing well so he and his mother opened a popcorn stand and he sold while his mother popped the corn. Later, the family had saved enough in this way for them to return to Denver, and Harold, like many another American millionaire, bought a newpaper route—from the Denver Post—acting in stock when the occasion offered. In 1911, Lloyd played the part of an Indian in his first motion picture. His script called for a grunt and a couple of fine feathers, and that was about all. Family troubles, however, forced the young Lloyd to abandon picture hopes and go back to other work. Then Harold's father suggested that he return to Hollywood and there was the Edison company, in their new quarters. He got extra roles on the strength of his veteran Indian part and shortly thereafter met another extra named Hal Roach, then at the Universal lot. With characteristic spunk the young actor decided to go into the film business by himself. He had been raised to $5 a day, but knew that was the high in extra roles, and Roach soon inherited a few hundred dollars, making the venture possible. The two producers worked hard and interested Pathe in their onereelers, in which Harold evolved the

character named "Lonesome Luke.” i And “Lonesome Luke” has since become a millionaire.

Victor Moore Comedy on Lyric's Bill •Romance in the Rain' Is Gay Picture Embellished With Musical Hits. The Lyric theater's feature for the week. "Romance in the Rain,” is a gay and spectacular comedy, entertainingly embellished with music, which was directed by Stuart Walker. It introduces a cast of stage and screen celebrities that includes Roger Pryor, Heather Angel, Victor Moore. Esther Ralston. Ruth Donnelly, Paul Kaye, Clara Kihball Young and David Worth. Moore, the chief fun maker, is a popular Broadway star whose most recent hit was as Vice-President Throttlebottom in “Os Thee I Sing.” “Romance in the Rain” is a story by Sig Herzig and Jay Gorney. It concerns a modern Cinderella whose drudgery and days of poverty at home, are brought to an end when her Prince Charming appears in the guise of a high pressure salesman who opens the doors of Wonderland to her via a beauty contest and the radio. Gorney teamed with Don Hartman in furnishing the music and songs, the latter embracing two lilting hits, "Love At Last” and "F'rinstance.” Dramatic adventures and extraordinary situations add a zestful flavor to the romance. The directorial ability of Stuart Walker manifests itself throughout the production, especially in a scene in which some 500 singers and dancers emerge from an enormous pumpkin to "strut their stuff” in rhythmic fashion. Another novel scene is a public wedding in which an entirely different couple than that originally scheduled to take the marriage vow’s are united in one of the most hilarious stuations to have reached the screen in a long time. This scene was filmed in a great stadium before an audience of 100,000 people. Short subjects, completing the Lyric’s program, are a Mentone musical novelty, "Fads and Fancies,” in which specialities are presented by Val and Ernie Stanton, Fritz and Jean Huber, and a host of vaudeville and revue favorites, and a unique "travelogue, Will Rogers in Ireland.

Having completed scenes in his first motion picture, “Marie Galante,” with Spencer Tracy and Ketti Gallian, John Bradford has been signed by Fox for a major role in “365 Nights in Hollywood,” the firm which wall star James Dunn and Alice Faye and which is an adaptation from an original story by Jimmie Starr.
