Shirley Temple

Lionel Barrymore

Special Showing to Feature Shirley Temple, Current U. S. ‘Sweetheart.’ Men and women, regradless of age, are in love with dainty little Shirley Temple, and The Indianapolis Times ryriers and newsboys are no exception to the rule. Kenneth Collins and executives of tne Fox Film exchange here learned that the carriers wanted to see Shirley in her latest Fox movie, "The Little Colonel,” so a special showing of this picture, which is smashing box office records all over the country, was arranged. Accordingly, the 1200 Times carriers and newsies will meet at The Times at 8 Saturday morning and march in a body, with police escort, to the Apollo Theater, where a special show will be given for them. If the surface of the ocean were lowered 600 feet, North America and Asia would be joined by a neck of land 1500 miles wide; Iceland and England would be a part of continental Europe, and New Guinea would join Australia.

Watson Sisters Will Head Bill Five Other Acts and Film Offered by Lyric. Fanny and Kitty Watson, foremost of America's feminine comedystage stars, will come to the Lyric Theater for the week starting tomorrow as headliners of a vaudeville bill composed of six meritorious and carefully assorted acts of the highest quality, running the gamut of all that goes to make a bang-up variety show. The screen feature will be “Night Life of the Gods,” Universal's big spectacular production filmed under the direction of Lowell Sherman from the hilarious novel by Thorne Smith. The Watson sisters, prime favorites with Indianapolis theatergoers, have a brand new act in which Kitty, who tips the scales at something like 100 pounds, continues to prove herself a clever foil for the uproarious Fanny, who admits to a heft of 210. * Other acts will be Wally Jackson and Edna Gardner, aided by Sherry Frayne, in a merry travesty on radio broadcasting called “The Micro Phonies”; George Andre and company in “Tropical Nightmares.” a superb adagio dance presentation; Bomar Cramer, distinguished pianist. assisted by Sarah Elizabeth Miller in an entrancing musical innovation; Mary Goss and Charlie Barrows, who have a laughable skit styled “Hic-Cups,” and the Les Ghezzis, famed European equilibrists. “Night Life of the Gods” is proclaimed the answer to the oft-re-peated wish of movie addicts for a “different sort of picture.” Thorne Smith’s novel created a veritable sensation in the literary world. Transferred to the screen it bids fair to rank as the most amazing picture of a decade. The story reveals what happens when a young scientist discovers a method whereby he can turn human beings into stone, and marble statues into living, breathing, talking. mirth-provoking human beings bent on having a high old time. In the cast, an exceptionally large one, are Alan Mowbray, Florine McKinney, Peggy Shannon. Richard Carle, Theresa Maxwell Conover, Phillips Smalley, Wesley Barry, Gilbert Emery, Raymond Benard, George Hassell, Irene Ware. Robert Warwick and a host of others plus a brigade of Hollywood's most beautiful girls. n * In the Theaters Loew’s Palace—Helen Hayes and Robert Montgomery in “Vanessa.” Short reels. Indiana—Kay Francis and Warren William in “Living on Velvet.” Short reels. Circle —Leslie Howard in “The Scarlet Pimpernel.” Lyric—Aline McMahon and Guy Kibbie in While the Patient Slept.” Short reels. On the stage six acts of vaudeville.

FATHER COUGHLIN AND HUEY TAKEN TO TASK BY NORMAN THOMAS

By United Press SCHENECTADY. N. Y.. March 7. Norman Thomas, Socialist leader, told the League for Industrial Democracy that the Blue Eagle is getting bluer. He warned against demagogues and dictators, asserted that "we can force abdication of the ruling classes by comparatively peaceful means.” "Huey Long,” he said, “wants to share the wealth. Yet he doesn’t lift his voice about the share croppers in Arkansas where he has so much influence. Father Coughlin has said some true things. He would have to in the course of so many speeches, but he has no real philosophy. He proposes 16 points singularly which Mussolini and Hitler started out with, but forgot after they achieved power.”
