The Theatrical World ‘David Copperfield’ Is Masterpiece of Screen BY JOHN W. THOMPSON —■

DAVID COPPERFIELD” is Hollywood’s monument to the glory of Charles Dickens. It deserves to be placed high as one of the masterpieces of screen history. Faced with the tremendous task of condensing and writing into scenario form the ponderous classic, Howard Estabrook, scenarist, and his capable aid, Hugh Walpole,

have done admirably with the story. It is inconceivable that the cast could be any better selected. Although the list of performers 1 n • eludes a great many “star” names, no one in the picture appears as a star. The characterizations have been so deftly done and ‘ fit so easily into

Lionel Barrymore

the action of the story that the characters seem to be figures in a great living painting rather than actors in a motion picture. This is a compliment to the industry. To use as many outstanding actors and actresses as are seen in ‘ David Copperfield” and yet to have them characterize so thoroughly the parts they play that one doesn’t realize he is seeing Hollywood stars—that is great direction. Os course, the complete story is not picturized. There are some of the well-known characters who clo not appear. But there are so many more who do and the incidents have been so arranged that one does not miss the absentees. To tell the story of “David Copperfield” would be useless. Suffice it to say that the film deals in a broad sense with the time just before and after the lad’s birth; with his life in London with the Micawbers; his life with Aunt Betsy and the Wickflelds; and of his marriage to Dora, her death and the realization of his love for Agnes. Freddie Bartholomew makes a splendid young David. He has fine enunciation, good facial expussion and more than a usual amount of child acting talent. Frank Lawton is also fine in the role of David, the young man. When one tries to think of outstanding performers, one recalls not the actors but of the characters. For instance, it is a masterly Mica wber which is done by the wily W. C. Fields. He appears as the immaculate gent who is continually dodging his cred.tors and at the same time is “hourly expecting something to turn up.” The way in which Mr. Fields ejects the flow'ery phrases is just the way one would have expected Mr. Micawber to say them. Dan Peggoty, he of the curly beard and the staunch, kind character, has been vividly portrayed by Lionel Barrymore. His buttonbursting sister. Nurse Peggoty, played by Jessie Ralph, is a portrait of the lovable old lady who accepted the offer when she heard that "Barkis is willin’.” Barkis is played comically by Herbert Mundin. Edna Mae Oliver flits adeptly across the screen as Aunt Betsy, whose kindness overcomes her sour disposition. You'll scream when

when she drives the donkeys off her front lawn. One of the surprises in the picture is the characterization of that immortal snake-in-the-gi ass, Uriah Heep, by the usualy droll comedian, Roland Young. Bereft of his mustache, Mr. Young makes Mr. Heep fairly crawl with reptilian humility. Observers may be interested in the fact that Mr. W&lpole, the novelist, who adapted the story, plays a small part in the picture as the Vicar of Blunderstone. The romance has been deftly handled with Dora < played by Mailreen O'Sullivan) and Agnes <played by Madge Evans) supplying the contrasting types o' love which enter David’s life. The entire support cast is excellent. Here is one of the best fllmizations of a literary classic that has been done by the motion picture industry. It opens tomorrow at Loew’s Palace. 0 0 9 Great Preview Tonight SO impressed was the Indiana management when it saw Claudette Colbert In “The Gilded Lily” that it was decided to give Indianapolis a special preview at 10 tonight. The last complete showing of “The Lives of a Bengal Lancer” will start at 8:15 tonight. This film will move tomorrow to the Circle to continue its run in the city. Miss Colbert has anew leading man in “The Gilded Lily." He is Fred Mac Murray, who promises to become a favorite of film followers. u tt n Bach Program Arranged MANY musical organizations of the United States are joining in celebrating the 250th anniversary of the birth of Johann Sebastian Bach this year. The Indianapolis symphony will devote the major part of its program Friday evening at the Murat Theater to works of this composer. In connection with the program, the following tribute to Bach, written by Ferdinand Schaefer, founder and director of the orchestra, indicates the importance of the celebration; “This is a Bach year. We pay our humble tribute to the greatest of all musical genises. He is the very foundation upon which rests all modern music. His lifetime fell into period of transition, a time when the old contrapuntal, imitative style in music had almost given way to the new hormonic style of outspoken tonality.” The orchestra will play Bach’s prelude and fugue in D minor; the violin concerto in A minor, with Miss Mary Ann Kullmer as soloist, and the Suite No. 3 in D major; and the Brahms Fourth symphony. tt o o OTHER theaters today offer; “Biography of a Bachelor Girl,” at Loew's Palace; “The County Chairman,” at the Apollo; Benny Meroff and orchestra at the Lyric; “Sweet Adeline,” at the Circle, and “Affairs of Cellini” and “365 Nights in Hollywood,” at the Ohio. Tonight at Caleb Mills Hall, Bomar Cramer, pianist, will appear in recital.
