MAE WEST'S 'BELLE OF THE NINETIES' OPENS AT INDIANA NEXT WEEK

City Theater to Be Scene of Film s World Premiere Season Is Opened This Week With Showing of Bing Crosby’s ‘She Loves Me Not.’ The Indiana theater got away to a magnificent start yesterday when it began i\ new season with Bing Crosby, Miriam Hopkins and Kitty Carlisle. The '•cond week of the season of the Indiana will be a history-mak-ing one. as the world premier of Mae West's new picture. "Belle of the Ninettes," will be held.

Milton Feid. president of Monarch Theaters, operators of the Indiana and Circle, states that "Paramount has agreed to designate the Indiana theater for the first showing of Mae West's ‘Belle of the Nineties.' ” This is the Mae West picture originally titled It Ain't No Sin." but censor boards in New York and Ohio refused to pass the picture under that title, so it was withdrawn from its original release date and sent back to Hollywood for repairs. After the Mae West picture. “Dames" with Dick Powell. Ruby Keeler, Joan Blondell, Zasu Pitts. Guy Kibbee and Hugh Herbert, will epen as the third movie of the greater season at the Indiana. The fourth attraction will be Leslie Howard and Kay Francis in “British Agent.” It originally was planned to spot "Cleopatra” in this po'ition but the release date has been advanced until October. a a a Fought Many Duels Twenty-four duels in two weeks Is the record run by Fredric March. Lest you assume from this that the genial and popular Hollywood star has turned unaccountably militant, we hasten to explain that it ail was part of his training for the role of the hot-blooded Benvenuto. sixteenth century goldsmith, swordsman and lover extraordinarv. in "The Affairs of Cellini." now on view at Loew's Palace. Twice a day. six days a week, the actor fenced with an expert swordsman in the gymnasium of the United Artists’ studio. From 9 to 10 in the morning and from 5 until 6 in the afternoon March skipped nimbly about behind a rapier. Co-starred with Mr. March is Constance Bennett, who plays tho part of the duchess of Florence, "playgirl” of her day who was more interested in Cellini than the deeds of her husband, the duke of Florence Morgan.) Also on the program are "The Discontented Canary." first of anew series of all technicolor cartoons: a musical revue, "What Price Jazz," and news events. ana Comedy at Circle Anew starring romantic team is presented to film audiences in! Paramount's "Now and Forever," which opened yesterday at the Circle. It is Gary Cooper and Carole Lombard, and the picture marks the first time these two popular players have appeared together as leads. In addition. 5-year-old Shirley Temple, who was seen in "Little Miss Marker” and Baby Take a Bow, plays a starring role. Gary Cooper is seen as a carefree chap, who lives by his wits, and hoodwinks every man he meets. Madly in love with Carole Lombard, he even permits his methods to cheat her away from him. His little daughter, Pennie, played by Shirley Temple, has been brought up by a guardian. Desperate lor money, he even consents to accept cash for his right to his own daughter. That is. until he sees her. Then he carries her away. Together with Carole Lombard, they lord a happy, carefree -life, until Cooper again is tempted to stray fiom the straight and narrow. At this point the child's love and faith in him is vindicated, when by a noble deed of self-sacrifice he remove* himself from her life and makes happiness possible for her.

Cimarron' to Be Reissued by RKO Pictures "Cimarron.” the dramatic RKORadio Pictures’ adaptation of Edna Ferbers thrilling story of American pioneer life, which was acclaimed one of the most significant productions since the advent of talking pictures, is to be reissued this month. The film production, which presents a sweeping story of early American life, with its vivid enactment of the stirring spectacles realistic of the life and struggles of early Oklahoma, was awarded the Academy of Motion Picture Sciences gold medal as the finest film made in the year of 1931. Richard Dix and Irene Dunne, costars in the production, were acclaimed for their magnificient performances. Irene Dunne, as Sabra Cravat, scored her greatest screen success in this role, which eventually won her stardom. Wesley Ruggles was responsible for the masterful direction of the film, and Howard Estabrook adapted the Ferber novel to the screen. Both Ruggles and Estabrook were awarded gold medals by the Academy of Motion Picture Sciences in their respective arts for their fine contribution on "Cimarron.” Among the host of prominent screen personalities, who loaned their talents to the making of this classic were Estelle Taylor, Nance O’Neil, Buster Collier, Rosco Ates, George E. Stone, Stanley Fields, Robert McWade and Edna May Oliver.

Granville, Gilbert Emery and Henry Kolker are also in the cast. “Now and Forever’’ was directed by Henry Hathaway. a a a Lloyd Is Held Over Should the capacity houses evidenced at the Apollo during the last week be taken as a criterion, it would be apparent that the fans of Harold Lloyd have not diminished because of his prolonged absence from the screen. At least, his new picture, "The Cat's Paw,” has warranted an extended engagement, resulting in the photoplay being held for the second week. "The Cat’s Paw,” according to reports, has offered the star an entirely new field of production possibilities. The new photoplay depends more on story, situation, characterization and dialog, rather than on the fastrunning gag sequence so familiar to Lloyd pictures. The change, however, has not resulted in a diminishing of the laughter qualities of his picture. Helping the comedian in his laugh-provoking efforts is a cast of supporting players headed by Una Merkel, with the list also including George Barbier, Nat Pendleton, Grace Bradley. Alan Dienhart, Grant Mitchel. Fred Warren. Warren Hymer and Vince Barnett. Sam Taylor directed. Coincident in Dates Frances Drake, who plays the lead in Paramount's “Ladies Should Listen." made her stage debut in London on Oct. 10. 1932, and arrived in Hollywood to start her film career on Oct. 10, 1933.
