REALISM, FANTASY OFFERED IN CURRENT FILM ATTRACTIONS

Chari es Ruggles Pleases Friends on Indiana Screen; Lyric Brings Air Thriller

Bing Crosby, Behind Beard, Performs Best Singing Role in Months, When producers called the Indiana Theater’s current movie ‘‘Anything Goes" they meant just what they said, but the results prove they also knew what they were doing. Although advance publicity said little about him, it is Charlie Ruggles who walks off with "Anything Goes," in spite of the fact that Bing Crosby does his best singing in months and Ethel Merman is even better than she was in Eddie Cantor’s picture last week. The story concerns Billy Crocker (Crosby), boy friend of Reno Sweeney (Merman), a torch singer, and how he falls for another girl, Hope Harcourt (Ida lupino), follows her to China. You see, Billy did not mean to go to China. In fact, his boss had just turned the business over to him to handle while he was gone. But when Billy sees some toughlooking fellows ushering Hope up the gang plank his chivalry overcomes him and he jumps on board. Ruggles Is “Reverend" On the ship he meets the Rev. Dr. Moon (Ruggles), a gangster disguised as a missionary, and his moll, Bonnie (Grace Bradley). They help him hide his identity, but give him a passport belonging to Public Enemy No. 1. Then the ship captain gets on his trail and most of the picture is taken up with Billy, Bonnie, Reno and Dr. Moon attempting to dodge authorities. Everything comes out O. K. and Billy kidnaps Hope (not against her will) as the boat docks. Reno grabs herself an Englishman on the boat and Dr. Moon gets a great kick out of driving the kidnap car. The vmsic in “Anything Goes” contains some of the season’s best popular hits. Among them are Cole Porter’s “You’re the Tops,” “Moonburn,” by Hoagie Carmichael, Indianapolis’ own composer, and "Shanghai De Hi,” also by Mr. Porter. Here are some of the things Charlie Ruggles does while dressed as a minister, in regulation black frock and pie-pan hat: From L>icc to Prayers Wins the clay pigeon shooting contest on the ship, using his pet machine gun; clips the hair off a Pomeranian pup to make a false beard for Bing Crosby; eats breakfast in an upper berth with his clothes on, grapefruit juice squirting right and left; surprised by the captain while shooting dice with two Chinese boys quickly invokes blessings on their bended heads. “Anything Goes" is a well-done adaptation of the popular New York stage hit and with Bing Ci'osby acting the nut, Ethel Merman making hi-de-ho and Miss Lupino looking lovely, it makes a spicy evening's entertainment. Indiana’s program is enhanced by the presence on the screen of “Time Marches On” in an education pictorial treatise on TVA and a lovely short color subject, “Somewhere in Dreamland.” (By J. W. TANARUS.) Father’s Memory Revived Memories were revived in the meeting of Reginald Denny, who plays Benvolio, and Prof. William Strunk Jr. of Cornell University, literary adviser for “Romeo and Juliet.” Some years ago at Cornell Prof. Strunk played host to W. it. Denny, Reginald’s father, famous British stage star. Holds Stage Work Vital Screen aspirants are advised by Claudette Colbert, star of “The Bride Comes Home,” to go to New York City instead of Hollywood. She said it is almost essential 10 have stage experience in order to get ahead in sound pictures. 1L —TONIGHT Kl AYARS LA MARgj KS and Hi 9 Band rl

Hollywood Ending Ignored in 'Ceiling Zero/ With Three Co-Stars. “Ceiling Zero,” the Lyric’s picture adaptation of Frank Wead's famous stage play, is aviation’s “Journey’s End,” not only because it does not submit to a Hollywood ending, but also because it presents a stellar trio—Pat O'Brien, Jimmy Cagney and Stuart Erwin—in splendidly acted roles. After much arguing, Jake Lee, director of the Federal Airport at Newark, gets his war-time pal a job at the airport. The friend, Dizzy Davis, comes into his new home port doing barrel rolls and fancy diving, and is greeted on landing by a Commerce Department officer who warns him that his license will be taken away if he lands like that again. Dizzy is an irresponsible fellow who goes for women and wine, but who also is a great pilot. He and Jake rejoice over their reunion with another of their buddies, Tex Clarke. It ends up with Dizzy falling for Tommy Thomas, pretty, little brunet air hostess. The first day he works, he feigns sickness in order to get out of flying the mail and gets Tex to take his flight for him. Then he goes out with Tommy. The weather fogs up and Tex crashes into the airport hangar, is injured fatally. Braves Ceiling Zero Realizing his life has been a flop, Dizzy knocks out another pilot, takes his plane, equipped with experimental equipment, and goes aloft with the mail in “ceiling zero” weather. By radio he reports scientific data on the plane’s equipment, tells the boys on the ground why it doesn’t work, then crashes to his death. Here is real movie drama. Not a punch has been pulled. The suspense has been well directed by Howard Hawks, himself a famous war air ace. Mr. Cagney, Mr. O’Brien and Mr. Erwin never have been better. June Travis as Tommy shows remarkable promise. On the Lyric stage is Cookie Bowers, whose imitations of film cartoon characters and pantomimes of everyday folks is top-notch vaudeville entertainment; the Albee sisters, a singing quartet with a fairly catching act; the Canestrellys, ladder -walkers; Milt Douglas, pleasing master of ceremonies, and Lela Moore, dressed h' if as a man and half as a girl, wno makes most convincing love to herself in a brand new kind of novelty act. Hampton Given Jordan Position Butler Graduate to Head Drama Department. Volney T. Hampton, director of the Muncie Civic Theater and instructor in dramatics at the Indiana University Extension Center, is to head the drama department at the Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music, Miss Ada Bickering, director, announced today. He is to assume his duties with the opening of the second semester, and is to succeed Miss Frances Beik, who died in December. He also is to be instructor in dramatics and director of the Thespis Dramatic Society at Butler University, with which the conservatory is affiliated. Mr. Hampton was a member of the Civic Theater players under George Sommes for five years, and later played professionally with the Stuart Walker company. He graduated from Butler in 1931, and spent three years of graduate study at the Yale Drama School. He has appeared in summer stock at Narragansett Pier and Kingston, R. 1., has been director of the Terre Haute Community Players and dramatic adviser to several groups over the state. In addition to carrying on Miss Beik’s regular curriculum, Mr. Hampton is to offer two new courses in play directing and makeup.

What a Marvel Is the Telephone! It Brings to Us Nelson Eddy and We Think He's a Regular Guy—Also Good at Singing Songs

BY JOHN W. THOMPSON Nelson Eddy is a regular guy! That’s our decision after spending a pleasant hour chatting by telephone with the popular sing.n? stai of “Naughty Marietta” and the new “Rose Marie,” soon to be seen at Loew’s, as he rested yesterday in Evansville, one of the stops on his concert tour. Mr. Eddy’s voice on the telephone is strong and clear, and he sounds much as he does on the screen. Yesterday he seemed in a gay mood —laughed in long, hearty guffaws—and answered questions considerately. Our “cross-examination” follows: Mr. Eddy—Hello, Mr. Thompson! Say, you aren’t the John Thompson from Boston, are you? We—No! Mr. Eddy—Good. I’ve got an uncle by that name over in Boston and I thought for a minute he might have drifted into the newspaper business. How About Movies? q—Do you prefer making movies to concert tours? Mr. Eddy—That’s hard to say. I don’t know myself. When I’m making pictures I think that’s the greatest thing in the world. When I’m singing in concert I think there couldn't be anything better. Os course a fellow gets a more immediate kick out of a concert, because his applause comes right away. Q—How many times do you suppose you have been requested to sing “Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life” since the release of “Naughty Marietta?” Mr. Eddy—27,964 times. I kept count of the requests. I have to tack it onto almost all of my concerts. People seem to like playful little ditties mixed with the heavier stuff. Q —What kind of music do you like to listen to in off-stage moments? Mr. Eddy—Well, when I go home from the studio after a long, hard day’s work, I usually flip on the radio and get Cab Calloway or Bing Crosby or Paul Whiteman. You know, I’m no long-haired conservative I like popular music too. I get enough opera in my work. Just Work Hard Q—What would you tell a young man or woman who wanted to oecome a singing star like you? Mr. Eddy—l think I’d tell them to just work like hell. There are no short cuts, no buttons to press which will bring immediate success. Peo-

Stage Experience Is Considered Road to Success in Film Work Hollywood Studio Talent Scouts Active in Search for New Faces to Project on Nation’s Screens. Timex Special HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 1. —Talent scouts of Hollywood studios are more active than ever. Amateur contests, little theaters and the headline ranks of Broadway’s stage are their hunting grounds in search for material to supply the demands of motion picture audiences for new faces.

Previous stage experience, according to the scouts, set ms to be the most promising factor in determining whether or not a newcomer to the screen is to win the big chance. From this source have come a number of the new names that rose to heights in motion pictures last year. Dixie Dunbar, whose charm and

Nelson Eddy . . . swell fellow well met,

pie seem to think that because they never heard of me for years and then suddenly I started making pictures that I did something unusual to gain success. I did nothing overnight. I’ve been working for 15 years for my chance. Q —What do you think of the piece, “The Music Goes ’Round and Around”? Mr. Eddy—l think it’s swell. I can't get it out of my mind and some of these days I’m afraid I’ll slip and sing it on one of my programs! It’s popularity, I think, lies in the fact that it is a fresh, new tune, not stolen from anything else. Whenever song writers get a successful combination of the “oh-oh-oh” sound or any repetition of the same sounds, like in the “Barney Google, with the goo-goo-googly eyes” piece, they find it takes with the people. (Here Mr. Eddy demonstrated

technique marked her a promising young film figure when she made her first bid for screen fame in “George White’s Scandals” a little over a year ago, was advised to go East and acquire stage experience in New York. Gathers Experience A year later, armed with the experience of a Broadway stage season, she again appeared in Hollywood. She was cast as a dancer in “King of Burlesque,” and when she finished that picture, she was given a role in “Professional Soldier.” Another player in “Professional Soldier” who made the grade after stage work was Michael Whalen. Failing to get a screen role, he returned to stage work at the Pasadena Community theater. He went over well there, but players at Community theater are not paid, and Mr. Whalen had about decided to accept an offer to go East with the play when a summons came for a screen test. It was successful, and a part in “Professional Soldier” resulted. Residents Play Extra Roles Many residents of Flagstaff, Ariz., became extras for a day when a company making “Thorobreds All” arrived for location scenes. f £S £o mm “. . .

with his baritone voice just how the sounds sound.) Q—Do you think, Mr. Eddy, that opera will ever come to the screen, as just plain opeia? Mr. Eddy—No, I don’t think so. After all, who wants to sit and watch a couple of hefty singers make love or try to kill each other for three or four hours of heavy operatic music? Q—What kind of clothes do you like to wear? Do you hate to dress up for parties and formals? Mr. Eddy—Oh, I like to dress about like any other normal young man. I don’t mind dressing up at all. Q—Well, you know, Mr. Eddy, we hear so much about how most movie stars are going about in slacks and sport togs—? Mr. Eddy—That’s a lot of bologney. When a real movie actor dresses in slacks it’s because that is the most practical thing for him to wear at the time. The fellows who go around Hollywood in yellow shirts and pink berets are usually the fourth assistant cameramen or the fifth assistant directors. Q—What are your favorite pastimes? Mr. Eddy—Horses. Playing or Riding, Sir? Q —Do you play them or ride them, Mr. Eddy? Mr. Eddy—Oh, ride them, of course. I am a terrible polo player, though. I also like tennis, swimming and most any other real sport. Q —How about ping-pong? Mr. Eddy—Say, I’ll take you on for a game any time. Q —Do you gargle, whistle or perPA'QTITtTi 25c T r. M. 25c—40c After 6 P. M. lUiiflVSfjjGOOn^HQiM WIITTSj Until SP. M.

form other vocal gymnastics to keep your voice in condition? Mr. Eddy—No, I just live a normal life. The folks that tell you to do all those crazy things to keep your voice in trim are usually the singing teachers. I don’t even use a cough drop. Q—Are you superstitious? Mr. Eddy—Not at all. But my maanger picks up everything and throws it over his left shoulder. I think that stuff is the bunk. Q—Which do you prefer, New York or Hollywood? He’s Not Particular Mr. Eddy—Oh, I like both. But I’m not a very good judge. I spend about 8 months in Hollywood every year and about eight weeks in New York. Q—What kind of a place is Hollywood? Mr. Eddy—ls you mean just Hollywood, why that’s just like any other cowpath town, with stores on the corner. But if you mean the whole movie country, I think it’s swell. It’s the quietest place I’ve been in since I left New England (Mr. Eddy was born in Providence, R. I.). But even in Rhode Island we had hoot owls. There aren't any of those out West. Q—Do you think alcohol and tobacco hurt one’s voice? Mr. Eddy—Yes, I do. Especially alcohol. And I suppose tobacco hurts some, too, although I smoke like a chimney while I’m making a picture. How Is Your Kite Flying? Q —Well, how about singing a phrase of “Rose Marie” over the telephone to us right now? Mr. Eddy (after some pause)— Say, how would you like to go fly a kite! (which is a better answer than if Mr. Eddy had compiled with our request.) We—Well, tell your uncle in Boston we said “hello.” Mr. Eddy—O. K. Haw, haw, haw. (His laugh is like that.) Mr. Eddy’s manager informed us, in a naive voice, that he had nothing to do with the circulation of the story about Miss Barbara Clark. South Bend girl who was said to have followed Mr. Eddy on his concert tour. And that was the conclusion of telephone interview with the blond movie singer, who holds the MetroGold wyn-Mayer fan mail record. He gets 5000 letters a week. His first job was as a telephone operator. Strange thing, fame.

Story by Hoosier Writer Is Circle's Picture Fare; Apollo Has Jane Withers

Young Actress Appears in Pigtails and With Irish Brogue. In pigtails and jabbering a genuine Irish brogue, little Jane Withers is to be seen in her latest attempt to trim the laurels of Shirley Temple, “Paddy O'Dav,” at the Apollo. On a trip across the ocean to America, an immigrant girl is befriended by a Russian family, including a beautiful young Russian girl, Tamara. The little girl almost is deported, when upon her arrival at Ellis Island, it is found that her mother, a cook in a wealthy Long Island home, died a few days before. But Paddy escapes from the immigration headquarters, takes refuge in the home where her mother worked. There the servants hide her. Roy Ford, owner of the home, discovers Paddy and makes friends with her and her dog. Roy Falls in Love Roy falls in love with the Russian girl and is forced into partnership with her brother. Mischa, owner of a case. Roy turns out to be somewhat of a musician and when his aunts return they find a completely modernized Roy. The immigration authorities catch up with Paddy, find her dancing in Roy’s and Mischa’s night club and threaten to take her away, send her back to Ireland. Roy, asserting himself for the first time in his life, tells his aunts he is going to adopt Paddy. When they tell him tnat is impossible he floors them with the announcement that he and Tamara had been married secretly the day before and he would adopt anybody he wanted to. Miss Withers is seen in more of her fairly entertaining song and dance routines. Pinly Tomlin is not so good as Roy Ford George Givot, who scrambles the English language as it has not been scrambled before, is excellent, and Rita Cansino, as Tamara, offers the screen another beautiful heroine. Needless to say, Miss Withers in this picture will not hurt Miss Temple’s popularity. (By J. W. TANARUS.)

Boris Karloff in 'lnvisible . Ray’ Is First on Double Double Bill. The first movie story by Hoosier Douglas Hodges, born in Lafayette and a former student at Purdue and Butler, is “The Invisible Ray,” Boris Karloff's latest thriller which, with “If I Had a Million,” makes up the Circle's offering this week. Thanks to Mr. Hodges' efforts, the picture is better than the usual vehicles provided Hollywood's ace “spook.” It is a story which softpedals the horror element, and gives us a weird and imaginative glimpse into the scientific future. There are some nice photographic tricks to help out. although they are somewhat nullified by the. painted scenery which inevitably seems to accompany pictures of this type. Mr. Karloff, looking quite human again, thank you, and Bela Lugosi give their usual performances. Love interest is provided by Frances Drake and Frank (David Copperfield) Lawton. We were glad to see the return of “If I Had a Million,” one of the most original and delightful movie comedies of recent years, w’hich was shown here some three seasons back. With an “all-star cast” of directors, headed by Ernst Lubitsch, plus an imposing array of screen talent that includes Charlie Ruggles, Mary Boland, Charles Laughton, W. C. Fields, Alison Skipworth, George Ffr.ift, Gary Cooper, Richard Bennett, May Robson and many others, it is as fine entertainment as could be hoped for. Humor, pathos and tragedy, with accent on humor, keep the picture moving at top speed. There are no dull moments. —(By J. TANARUS.)
