Chaz Chase The chief comedian with the Earl Carroll "Vanities,” when it comes to English’s for three days starting Monday, Jan. 14. will be Chaz Chase, who eats cigars, celery and about everything on the stage.

though, that the next attraction at the Indiana, following "Broadway Bill,” will be Paramount’s “The Lives of a Bengal Lancer,” starring Gary Cooper, Franchot Tone. Richard Cromwell, Sir Guy Standing. After "The Lives of a Bengal Lancer” was finished and Paramount officials had previewed it, they were so pleased that they decided to withdraw it from general release and give it road show booking at advanced prices. However, the Indiana's Paramount contract calls for “The Lives of a Bengal Lancer” having its first Indianapolis showing in the Indiana theater, so Mr. Halperin definitely states that the road show engagement is off so far as Indianapolis is concerned, and that the picture will be shown at regular Indiana prices.

I—When principals in a movie are as beautiful and as sweet as the music then something has been accomplished. Anyway, Ramon Novarro and Evelyn Laye make a beautiful couple in "The Night Is Young,” now at Loew's Palace.

Blessed Vagrants' Will Be Presented The Sutherland Players will present "Blessed Vagrants” as the fifth production in a series of one-act religious dramas at the Sutherland Presbyterian Church, 28th-st and Guilford-av at 7 p. m. tomorrow.
