Louise Beavers Scores Triumph m ‘lmitation of Life’ at Indiana

r* ANN IE HURST wrote a power- * ful and puman success story in Imitation of Life.” All of the beauty, pathos and h-art interest in the original story has been effectively reproduced in ’he Universal movie production of the novel. The movie reveals the great acting ability of Louise Beavers as

Aun* Delliah, the Negro pancake maker genius m the success story in the life of Bca Pullman, played by Ciau de 11 e Colbert. Previously Miss Beavers has been ca:t as a Negro maid in many movies, but this is the first time

Claudette Colbert

•hat she has had a lead of great emotional characterist,cs. This woman is a great sensitive artist. Her death scene, in my opinfon. is one of the ten best I ever have -een on the talking scr ®n. When Aunt Delliah dies after making a success of her life, but failing to cause her own daughter, Paola. to realize that she was black instead of white, although her skin was nearly white, the movie observer has a death-bed scene which compares in greatness to those that I have seen the greatest on the stage present. Miss Beavers plays this scene with direct simplicity and faith in her God that gets tremendous results. although she plays the entire role strictly along racial lines. Another outstanding piece of work is that of Fredi Washington as the daughter of Aunt Delliah. Here is a difficult role to present. Miss Washington captures the realization of her birth with such stark realism that she immediately becomes a most commanding actress.

WALILK D. HICKMAN

By praise for these two in the cast reflects no discredit upon Claudette Colbert and Warren William, who present a tremendously fine modern romance. r These two appear to splendid advantage and do not overplay the two roles. Ned Sparks in his gruff w-ay furnishes nearly all the comedy relief. Rochelle Hudson has the difficult role of Jessie Pullman, grown up and she does a magnificent job of it. Imitation of Life” is a fine, sensitive human movie with a marvelous. cast. If you want the best, then see this one. Now at Indiana. a a a Hall Makes a Hit 808 HALL takes the bow as the most entertaining act on this week's Lyric stage bill. His exhibition of the gentle art of rhyming while one talks, seemed to take unusually well with the audience at the performance I attended. Hall opens his act with a few remarks in which ho speaks about people who are just at that time entering the theater. All of his chatter is rhymed and he speaks of things which the people are doing, even going so far as to tell them where they are going to sit. Great bit of showmanship in this one, Willie West, McGinty and company present that oft-repeated act which never seems to lose its humorous savor, in which four men, dressed as laborers, proceed to make a mess of the work they are supposed to be doing on a building. The trestles fall, the bricks collapse, the men tumble, and it moves at a three-ring-circus pace. Chain and Lamont appear in some slapstick comedy and dance that clicks part of the time, Jue Fong sings, rather poorly, several classical and popular selections; the Capps Family presents a fair melee of dancing and acrobatics, and the

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Greenwich Village Follies Revue makes good use of novel lighting effects in a series of entertaining dance routines. The picture gets nowhere in par- “ Gentlemen Are Born,” starring Franchot Tone, Jean Muir and Ann Dvorak. The storj concerns the troubles and tragedies of modern youth and their triumphs and failures in facing them. The picture gets nowhere in particular but is convincing in spots as far as acting is concerned. Tone is not so good in this one. Now at the Lyric. <By J. W. TANARUS.) nun '-pONIGHT at 8:30, the Indian--1 apolis Maennerchor. at the Academy of Music will present Mina Hager, mezzo-soprano, as guest artist with the male chorus.
