Circle Shows 'A Lost Lady' Barbara Stanwyck Stars in Willa Cather Story. Willa Cather’s Pulitzer prize novel. “A Lost Lady,” is now at the Circle, presenting Barbara Stanwyck in the starring role, supported by a talented cast of players, including Frank Morgan, Ricardo Cortez and Philip Reed. Willa Cather’s novel was very popular in its printed form and enjoyed wide circulation in this country. Many exciting and unique situations made the book the realistic piece of fiction which has been brought to the screen losing none of its original atmosphere and reality. A young lady is very much in love and on the threshold of her marriage she is left alone through the death of her lover, who has betrayed her for another woman and paid the penalty with his life. Thereafter she decides that she never again will give her heart to a man and proceeds to carry out her plan of life. She meets a wealthy man played by Frank Morgan who falls very much in love with her and knowing her situation makes a bargain to marry her, omitting the word and idea of love and substituting respect and honor. They go along very well for a time until the bold and debonair love attentions of Ricardo Cortez makes Barbara realize that she can not live without a lover’s arms. The picture is set in a background of grandeur and wealth and Miss Stanwyck appears in a continuous flash of unusual gowns. In addition to the four leads there appears in the picture Hobert Cavanaugh, Henry Walter Walker and Samuel Hines. The picture was directed by Alfred E. Green from a screen play by Gene Markey and Kathryn Scola.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Rogers" Film Held Over for Fourth Week ‘Judge Priest’ Proves to Be Popular Fare at the Apollo. Will Rogers’ latest photoplay, “Judge Priest,” adapted for the screen from the popular short stories written by Irvin S. Cobb, now takes its place alongside the star's other extended run films, so far as local theatricals are concerned. “Judge Priest” is appearing in its fourth and final week at the Apollo theater, and it will be recalled that “David Harum” and “Handy Andy” also enjoyed che same playing time. According to reports, the new film gives the beloved humorist the finest and most human role of all those he has portrayed on the screen. Many local patrons have seen it two or three times, it is said, while countless numbers, not regular addicts to cinema fare have witnessed its showing. The popular series of stories by the Kentucky writer, which are of the same title, has been used as the basis for this screen history of the shrewd and wise southern judge who flourished in Paducah, Ky., in the late years of the last century. Millions of readers know this grand old jurist of fiction, now millions more will know him and love him. Rogers, from all accounts, contributes to the film a memorable portrait of the ex-Confederate soldier, who dilutes justice with the milk of human kindness and saves from disaster a helpless girl and her father whom she has never known. John Ford directed, and is said to have brought to the story an amazingly accurate flavor of the old south in its days of transition. The cast includes Stepin Fetchit, Anita Louise, Rochelle Hudson, Tom Brown, Berton Churchill and Henry B. Walthall. Metropolitan Singer Kathleen Howard, working with W. C. Fields in “It’s a Gift,” sang with the Metropolitan opera company in New York for twelve years. Profitable Memory Lee Tracy memorized the names of plays, players, managers, directors and theaters prominent in New York to talk his way into a stage contract.

King and Queen Are Starred in Gay Divorcee' ‘Royal Pair’ Are Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Dance Champs. Many motion picture casts have boasted peers—even a duke or so —but RKO-Radio goes them all two better by co-starring a king and queen in the musical comedy, “The Gay Divorcee,” now at the Indiana. Fied Astaire and Ginger Rogers, the stars, were recently crowned, by public acclaim, as the “King and Queen of Carioca” because of their interpretation of the fiery, exciting dance in “Flying Down to Rio. “In ‘The Gay Divorcee” the clever terpsichorean pair present two grand new dances, one called “Day and Night,” originated by Astaire and called “the dance of moods”; another, the hit of the show, called “The Continental.” The latter creation, staged by Dave Gould, who staged the “Carioca” in “Flying Down to Rio,” has already become the rage with movie folks, who call it “The Joy Dance” because it is said to combine beauty and sport, and is also well within the capabilities of young and old. Music and lyrics for “The Continental” are the work of Con Conrad and Herb Magidson, authors of the current novelty song, “Yes. Sir, I Love Your Daughter.”
