THREE GILBERT AND SULLIVAN OPERAS TO BE PRESENTED HERE

Ann Lester Is 'Taps' on Lyric's Bill Singer Takes Major Honors In Theater's New Stage Show. BY JOHN W. THOMPSON A brunette songstress, Ann Lester, singing a dramatic adaptation of Duke Ellington's "Solitude,” is the outstanding attraction in the Lyric Theater's new stage show, “Band Box Revue.” Master of ceremonies for the new show is Allen Reno who also does impersonations of radio and movie stars. His best is of Ted Lewis, a skit aided by clarinet acrobatics. In a dance routine Mr. Reno gives glimpses of Garbo, an Indiana coed, and others. Music for the show is provided by two bands. Ed Rcsener and his Lyric pit musicians nave moved onto the stage for this week, and the Smith Sisters all-girl organization run them a close race for tune honors. In a “battle of music,” the girls’ band plays imitations of such orchestras as Casa Lorn a, Duke Ellington and Henry Busse, while Mr. Resencr's boys perform as Jan Garber, and Noble Sissle. Both bands play Paul Whiteman's Rhapsody in Blue.” The Burke Sisters, three-girl harmony team, are heard on several fast numbers, the best of which is "I'm in the Mood for Love.” Cecile Blair does some passable acrobatic dancing and Jack Leonard, heavyweight comedian, is slightly funnyOne of the treats of the "Band Box Revue” is the appearance of Rodney and Gould, a dance team made up of two men. one long and one short The trrpsichornn mix-ups which these two get into are agitators for hysterics. The two are naturally funny and present their act without playing too much to the audience. The Four Ambassadors of Rhythm, four-man tap dance team, opens the show with a. clever routine of rapid steps. Dorothy Arnold is heard in a fairly entertaining "hot” song number, and Bobby Graham sings the opening song for the show. The picture on view this week is ""I Live for Love." introducing anew singing star, Everett Marshall, and starring Dolores Del Rio. The plot concerns the battles between a South American singer and an American street vocalist, who makes her fighting mad and then falls in love with her. Mr. Marshall's singing is splendid. Miss Del Rio’s acting is no better than before. The picture is genuinely diverting. The picture’s comedy is aided byAllen Jenkins, Hobart Cavanaugh and Guy Kibbee.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

New Colbert Film Great Comedy Skit It's Delightful Bit of Nonsense, Says The Times Reviewer. It is safe to say that Claudette Colbert has never made a picture like "She Married Her Eoss.” It's in a class by itself- The producers and director must have ttfrown all rules for movie drama to the winds. "She Married Her Boss" is a delightful bit of nonsense concerning a perfect secretary who. after being in love with her boss for six years, finally marries him. There oughtn’t to be anything particularly upsetting about that. But there is, because the boss married her only for the sake of getting someone to take care of his uncontrollable child, and also to aid in his business, to which she has become indispensable. She marries him only because she loves him. That makes matters bad, for. after the ceremony, he pays no more attention to her than to one of his file-cabinets. To get away from it all she goes to another city to manage one of her husband's branch offices. There she meets a young man-about-town with whom she gets drunk in the front window of the store she is managing. Newspaper stories and photographs do the rest. But the husband comes dashing to the rescue, realizes his love for his wife, sweeps her off her feet kidnaps her, and the picture ends with the man and his wife tossing bricks through the' window of the husband's main store, as an expression of their newly found freedom. "She Married Her Boss" must not, under any circumstances, be taken seriously. It is a tragic failure that way. Asa light, frothy bit of comedy, it is real entertainment. Mervyn Douglas plays the role of Claudette’s husband with finesse and Michael Bartlett, young singer, who sings little, is acceptable as the threatening male who leads the secretary’ astray. Also to be seen at Loew's Theater on the double feature bill, is Ted Lewis’ first movie, "Here Comes the Band.” with Virginia Bruce, Ted Healy, Nat Pendleton and Harry Stockwell. (By J. W.

Ammonia Fumes Floor Amos V Andy By United Press HOLLYWOOD. Oct. 5. How Amos ‘n’ Andy and Ray Noble, the band leader, were virtually "knocked out” by ammonia fumes during the filming of a motion picture was revealed when Norman Taurog, the director, took the matter up with refrigeration engineers in order to make sure there would be no recurrence of the accident. Taurog. who has just returned to Hollywood, disclosed that when they were photographing a sequence for “The Big Broadcast of 1936” in New York City an ammonia line broke, flooding the stage with fumes and making it necessary for a score of persons, including the blackface pair and Noble, to be carried out into the open air. The director, fearing that ammonia was used on the music stage where the picture was scored, investigated the refrigeration system. He was assured there was no danger, inasmuch as the air is cooled by water. Art Group Honors Gladys Swarthout By Times Special HOLLYWOOD.

Shakespeare Just a Bit Too Good to Impress Movie Fans ■Midsummer Night's Dream,' While a Marvel of Beauty. Still May Prove Failure. BY DAN THOMAS HOLLYWOOD. Oct. s.—(NEA)—Night before last I saw a preview of "A Midsummer Night's Dream"—and I'm still trying to make up my mind whether or not I liked it. That, I believe, comes pretty close to being the attitude the public will take toward this picture when it is released soon.

Shakespearean lovers probably will go into raptures over the film, because it is a beautiful presentation of his work. However, great though he still is considered, I doubt if more than a small minority of our American public honestly enthuses over Shakespeare today. That means the picture will have to stand or fail solely on its own ability to entertain present-day audiences. It May Bea Failure Laugh at the comparison if you must, but it will have to compete with films such as "Top Hat.” "Broadway Melody" and "Shipmates Forever” without any consideration whatever being given to its authorship. And in so doing it is quite apt to fall considerably short of being a box office sensation. One thing certain is that “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” will have no sweeping effect upon the celluloid industry. If Warner Brothers had ideas of introducing a definite Shakespearean cycle into the movies, I'm afraid it's no go. Beautiful as it is throughout its 13 reels (2 hours and 20 minutes running time), it lacks the fast-moving action that draws Americans into theaters today. A word should be said for its beauty, however, because its picpicturesque photography is miles ahead of any other photography yet seen on the screen. It’s Certainly Beautiful For those who like pictorial beauty above all else in their screen entertainment, this picture is made to order. Cameraman Hal Mohr certainly deserves all of the industry's photographic honors for this year. Using standard black and white film, he has achieved more genuine beauty than has yet been produced by any of the various color processes. Unforunately for the producers,

however, the artistic sense of American audiences hasn't yet developed to the point where they want beauty ahead of all else. And the film's other chief virtue is also its principal fault—it is a true presentation of Shakespeare. Buddies Club Will Hold Dance at I. A. C.

Oct. s.—Director William K. Howard had to "bawl out” the extras in "Mary Burns, Fugitive." for eating pork and beans with too much apparent relish. It's a prison sequence, and the food is not supposed to be as appetizing as the proDerty men prepared it for the picture. Carl Brisson's Home Open Carl Brisson, now featured in “Ship Case,” offers his home as a Hollywood headquarters for all visiting Scandinavians.
