ised in the coming of the famous St. Olaf Lutheran Choir, which has been engaged to give a concert next Tuesday night in the Keith theater. This organization, composed of 60 carefully selected voices from the student body at St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minn., has repeatedly toured the country from east to west, winning the highest praise from the music critics of leading newspapers in Boston, New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Washington, Denver, Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Its coming here is in response to urgent requests from many to whom its fame has spread. The choir has been trained and its concerts are conducted by Dr. F. Melius Christiansen, whose choral ideals were absorbed in the classes directed by Cantor Gustav Schreck at the University of Leipzig, who was for many years the leader of the celebrated Thomas Church Choir. Sixty young men and women form the choir. The unanimity of critical opinion concerning their merit is one of the most astonishing things in America’s musical life. Dr. Christiansen ' retains only such voices as are free from unsteadiness and disposition to breathiness, and the result is perfection of balance, precision of attack and release, and flawless intonation. 000 In the Theaters Loew’s Palace—Ronald Colman and Loretta Young in “Clive of India.” Short reels.

Spanish Motif Distinguishes Moorish Castle Service to Special Parties Being Featured by Night Club. BY JOHN W. THOMPSON THE Spanish atmosphere haj been introduced in Indianapolis night life with the nception of big time night club production by the management of the Moorish Castle, located five miles east on the Michigan-rd. Leroy Donnelly, the proprietor, has spared no expense or time in executing the interior decoration and architecture in an authentic copy of the Spanish type. The building is centered with a short tower topped by a semi-cir-cular dome and lighted with oval windows. These windows and the lack of ornamentation at the entrances are characteristic of the period. The Moorish Castle is equipped especially for special parties although dancing for every one is in vogue. ana Novelty Offered The Showboat is presenting on this week's floor program something novel in the way of night club entertainment. The largest marimba - phone in the world is being played each night by the Musical Bentleys, a man and a girl. Gracia and La Mar, the sensational rhumba artists, have been held over by popular request and Hill and Hill, the snappy Negro duo, is coming back for the week in an act of fast tap and routine numbers. Morrey Brennen and the band are being supplemented by Miss Judy Chapman, girl vocalist. nan Band Is Popular Ervin Oakes and His Acorns, th® new band at the Chateau Lido, have gone over with a bang and in order to enable more Indianapolis night life devotees to hear the band, the management is holding open house one night each week when there is no cover charge. Watch The Times for announcement of the night to be observed this week. The headliners on this week’s floor show will be Lola and Andre, colorful dance team held over for another week. Johnnie Tullis and Anne will supply the comedy and fast tap dancing for the show and Jo Arnold, singing her “blues” and Max Hilbert as master of ceremonies, will round out the program, ana Dancers Booked The Ma-Co-Da Bar, that dapper little place which overflows with patrons every Saturday night, has engaged the services of Jack and Jill, fancy dance artists, and Freddie Cain, the speedy tap wizard, as the stars on tonight’s floor show. a a a Pollack Coming to City Ben Pollack and his orchestra will play their first engagement on the Indiana Roof tomorrow night. Appearing with the nationally famous orchestra, which has been contracted for one night only, will be Doris Robbins. Miss Robbins, former singing star of the Ziegfeld “Follies,” has been featured with Pollack for the last two years. Popular demand is responsible for the return engagaraent which Slim LaMar and his orchestra will play on the Roof starting next Tuesday night. The unit has the same instrumentation and plays the same type of dance music as Eddie Duchin and his orchestra. They will be on the Roof Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday only. ana Two Acts Offered Cedera Clair, Al Paetz’s place of night pleasure, will feature Dorothy Springer in a number of Spanish dances and other specialties, and Hallie Wood will be seen and heard in tap and routine numbers.
