WORK OF GABLE, LAUGHTON AND TONE FEATURES LOEW'S FILM

'Mutiny on the Bounty' Tells Stirring Story of Rebellion in South Seas Action-Filled Movie Termed One of Mightiest Pictures Ever to Come From Hollywood; Eddie Quillan Turns In Surprising Performance. BV JOHN \V. THOMPSON One of the mightiest films to come from Hollywood is “Mutiny on the Bounty,” a story of the sea, which opens at Loews today. Filled with action, it features Clark Gable’s best work, excellent characterization by Charles Laughton, splendid acting by Franchot Tone and a suiprise performance by Eddie Quillan. There isn't a fiaw in the production. The $2,000,000 spent by the producers has been wpII invested. The cast has been chosen carefully.

Happily, there isn’t a semblance of faked scenes, painted backgrounds and other foibles which more often than not. mar “big” productions. Watching “Mutiny on the Bounty” is like opening a finely tooled leather-bound book, a novel of mammoth proportions, grandly illustrated, expertly written and perfectly portrayed. As in no other picture to date, it is passible to forget, almost completely, that one is watch- ' ing a motion picture. Story Not New The story of the famous ship's ♦ rip to Tahiti to get breadfruit as cheap food for slaves, is not new. Familiar to many are the facts conreining the mutineers who. under Fletcher Christian <Mr. Gable) rebel against the tyranny of Capt. Bligh (Mr. Laughton), steal the ship, set the captain afloat with his 14 loyal men and sail back to Ta - hiti. Also well known is the tale of how the mutineers, in order to escape tiie prying fingers of British law. escape to Pitcairn, establish a colony and burn their ship. One is not likely to forget the sneering, shouting Capt. Bligh, to whom Mr. Laughton has given a sort of gruesome nobility which the NordofT-Hall novel didn’t include. Neither will one forget the scene In the English court where Roger Byam (Franshot Tone), pleads for his life. It is proof that Mr. Tone Is capable of much more than the pasteboard world has given him. Most thrilling of all is the mutiny scene. The fighting, which seems, almost too real, is climaxed when Capt. Bligh is tied to the mast. . Capt. Bligh Returns Second for thrills is the scene in which Capt. Bligh's ship. Pandora, goes clown in an island storm after he returns to search for the mutineers who set him adrift four years before. Pursuing the Bounty, which Fletcher Christian is taking to Pitcairn Capt. Bligh pilots his frigate, Pandora, through rocks, shoals, reefs and raging seas. Obstinately, he orders full sail. Slowly the ship falls apart, masts crashing to the

deck and the crew is forced to take to .ieboats. Tahiti scenery has been photographed beautifully. The island is truly a paradise to the half-starved men on the Bounty. The native women make excellent sweethearts, food is abundant and the climate conducive to relaxation. Romances Are Strange Strange indeed are the films romances. Mr. Christian, the kindhearted master’s mate, falls in love with Miamiti, marries her. Roger Byam, scion of a great English family, marries Movita. The two feminine roles are played excellently by Maria and Mamo, native Tahitians. The love scenes are tender, strikingly realistic, yet not brazen. Most surprising of all is the performance Eddie Quillan gives in the role of Ellison, one of the mutineers. Mr. Quillan, w'ho has appeared in slapstick comedies for years, plays his first dramatic role. It should not be his last. Hats should be doffed to Herbert Mundin as the ship’s cook, to Dudley Digges as the drunken doctor. Bouquets should be tossed to Director Frank Lloyd and to Cedric Gibbons for his art direction; James Havens for marine direction and Arthur Edeson for some of the most beautiful photography ever thrown on a screen.

Actors Are Born, Ann Harding Thinks Time* Special HOLLYWOOD. Nov. B.—‘‘Either you are an actress or you are not,” says Ann Harding. “Schools have turned out some of our best artists, but it’s a hundred to one that they had it in them before they ever entered training.” Miss Harding never attended a dramatic school. She credits her poise and carriage to the fact that her father was an army officer, and that she was brought up in a military camp. Her early business life was spent in an insurance office, where she perfected her diction by speaking into a dictaphone. Hero’s Life to be Filmed Times Special HOLLYWOOD, Nov. B.—Darryl F. Zanuck, of 20th Century-Fox, announces that he will produce a picture dealing with the life of John Paul Jones, famous American naval hero of the Revolutionary War.

Carole Lombard is the manicurist and Fred Mac Murray the impoverished socialite. Miss Lombard, given her first opportunity to break away from her usual type of lovely heroine, makes the most of her chance and turns in a fine comedy performance. Mac Murray should please his feminine fans, if they haven’t already seen the picture, by his naturalness.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

'Red Salute' Makes Fun of Radicals

Barbara Stanwyck Steps Out as Comedienne ot Promise. Barbara Stanwyck, hard-luck girl of the movies, who almost had become permanently typed as a pseudo-tragedienne, steps forth as a promising comedienne in ‘‘The Red Salute,” at the Apollo. Robert Young is her leading man. A great deal has been said and much more muttered about the "red” propaganda in the picture. If there is an overdose of dialogue which might rock the ideals for which our forefathers fought, we failed to be moved by it. There is a lot of hand-waving and alarmist verbosity in “The Red Salute,” but it has been treated in a satirical manner. Miss Stanwyck is to be praised for the way in which she has portrayed the silly little goose of a college girl, in love with Ernest Arned, paid propagandist. She flees to Mexico, lives on a small allowance which her father, an army colonel, sends her. Sent an urgent message by her “lover” Arner, Miss Drue Van Allen (Miss Stanwyck) induces a young army man, Jeff (Mr. Young), to take her across the border, in a stolen army car. Romance Fostered Back home under the protective wing of Miss Allen’s father, their romance is encouraged. It “takes” after a mass demonstration on the college campus, where Jeff outwits Arner and wins a fist fight. Mr. Young gives excellent support to Miss Stanwyck's light-hearted treatment of her role. H£ is a foil for her witty lines as she is for his. Outstanding is the work of Cliff Edwards, hen-picked husband, who gets tangled in the affairs of the fugitives. “The Red Salute” is pleasant entertainment, makes fun of radicalism and depends for its climax on audience response to Old Glory. (By J. W. TANARUS.)

Edna Mae Oliver Realizes Ambition Times Special HOLLYWOOD. Nov. B.—Edna May Oliver is realizing a lifelong ambition in her chance to play the nurse in “Romeo and Juliet,” which will star Norma Shearer. Miss Oliver, whose hobbies always have been classical music and art, is devoting her evenings to reading Shakespeare, and the collection of rare old Shakespearean editions. She says she is turning into a “Shakespearean sponge.” Allen Refuses Contract Following his first and highly successful screen appearance in "Thanks A Million,” Fred Allen received an offer of a contract to appear in another picture but declined, being reluctant to ask Iris radio sponsors to switch his program to the West Coast.

Symphony Bills Guest Violinist, 13 Young Ruggiero Ricci Will Appear at Second Concert Nov. 19. Ruggiero Ricci. 13-year-old violin genius, is to appear as guest soloist with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. Ferdinand Schaefer conducting. at the season's second concert Nov. 19 at the Murat. Young Ricci made his debut five years ago with the Manhattan Symphony Orchestra, and since then has taken his place among the first viri tuosos of the day. Because of his youth and his parents’ desire to rear him as a normal boy, his concert engagements are limited to 10 a year, but he has toured the United States from coast to coast, and has played in Canada and Cuba. Not a “Prodigy” Music critics and audiences have 1 agreed that Ricci need no longer be i identified by that dubiously compli-

men‘ rm “prodigy.” Pitts Sanborn, ,:-nt New York critic, has said of his playing: “Mature violinists of rank gaze at each other in amazement when he gives a concert, and declare that nothing like it has b"en known. A sober judge of singularly expert experience. a man who alwavs has my ear when the brethren of Stradi'varius are concerned, has told me that no other violinist that he has heard—bar none!—could equal the boy in the Mendelssohn concerto." Ricci, with his accompanist, is to arrive in Indianapolis the week-end Katharine Hepburn “ALICE ADAMS” —Plus Bette Davis—“SPECIAL AGENT”
