ANN HARDING STARS IN 'THE LADY CONSENTS' AT THE CIRCLE

Film Is One of Season's Comedy Hits Strong Cast Proves Big Help to ‘Triangle’ Picture. BY JOHN W. THOMPSON There's nothing to that rumor Ann Harding doesn't suffer in “The Lady Consents," at the Circle. But it happens to be the best suffering Miss Harding has done in many a moon. Along with the Harding suffering, an able cast makes the picture one of the season’s most sparkling comedies. Walter Abel, who made a hit in “The Three Musketeers”; Edward Ellis and Margaret Lindsay, this time as a villainess, all lend harmony to the movie. The hub in the wheel is Herbert Marshall, as Michael Talbott, popular New York doctor, who after seven years of married bliss with Anne Talbott (Miss Harding), suddenly takes a fling with a dashing young sportwoman. The fling ends with a divorce and marriage to the beautiful youngster. Things do not work out for him and it is the death bed talk of his father which brings about a happy ending. Show Is Entertaining P. J. Wolfson and Anthony Veiller have done admirably with a story that might just as well have been a flop. The lines are lilting, the situations humorous and all disolves into a genuinely entertaining show. It is the first picture in which a father brings a son and a divorced wife together. That always has been the screen mother’s job, but Edward Ellis does his best work at this new trick. Anew comedienne, Ilka Chase, appears as the society gossip who does much, via the grape-vine system, to bring about the finale. Mr. Marshall is tossed from pillar to post by the two ladies, but comes through unscathed and seemingly is the only one who takes his troubles seriously. Why the title was changed from “The Indestructible Mrs. Talbott” to “The Lady Consents,” this reviewer, and probably nobody else, ever will know. Sees Red Man’s Magic Lewis Stone, so far as known, is the only white man who ever has seen the Indian priests charm the snakes for the Hopi snake dance. While on location in the Hopi country, the Indans became so friendly with the actor that they allowed him to look into the magic pit. | I ALL IIMBERj CAFE and CASINO CLUB 12 Mile, V;ast on Road >'o. 67 DINE and DANCE E.SX.. ™E HEADLINERS Dance From 9 ’Til Dawn Open Sun. and Holidays

New York Actor to Be in Cast of Civic Theater Revue Friday Walter Collins Lends Time and Talent to Local Group for Presentation of ‘Hold Your Hats.’ Direct from the New York stage comes Walter Collins, who is to he in the cast of the new’ revue, “Hold Your Hats,” when it opens at the Civic Theater Friday night. In the city on a visit, he has loaned his time and talent to Director Frederick Burleigh for the production.

Collins comes from a theatrical family who trouped the circuits in the palmy days of vaudeville, and has climbed the difficult path from cho' us boy to leading man opposite Lylvia Sydney in “The Trial of Mary Dugan,” and an appearance with Ralph Bellamy in “Front Page.” At the age of 13, he got a job carrying a spear in a fourth rate stock company. Two years of that and he took up the study of singing and dancing. His first Broadway engagement was in the chorus of Charlie Ruggles’ company of “Queen High.” Through understudying he received a small speaking part, later a similar position in “Good News,” and finally membership in the famous Olsen Trio. After a part in “Follow Through,” Collins alternated between radio work in Rochester and stock appearances with a company that included Dorothy Tree, Louis Calhern and George Cukor, who since have

become prominent in motion pictures. Collins plans to return to New York when “Hold Your Hats” finishes its run, to join a stock company for a tour of New England.

The Times candid cameraman played first fiddle in the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra at a recent rehearsal. Vladimir Bakaleinikoff, associate conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, and guest conductor for the Indianapolis orchestra’s next concert, Feb. 18, is shown as he put the local musicians through their paces. I—The orchestra starts off smoothly, with Dr. Bakaleinikoff looking happy at the result. 2 A watchful eye is turned upon the cellos. 3—“ Sh, first violins very soft. 4—A little more agitation as the music builds up to a climax. s—Grand finale—full orchestra, fortissimo. 6—“ Whew!”.

Kolisch String Quartet Carded Martens to Bring Group to English’s Feb. 24. The Kolisch String Quartet, which comes to English’s on Feb. 24 as the next in the Martens series of concerts, not only is said to be one of the finest but is unique for two reasons. First, it is the only group of its kind that plays from memory. Rudolph Kolisch, founder and first violinist, asserts that the memorizing is not a stunt, but is done to gain a spontaneity of performance. Incidentally the method necessitates each player learning all four parts. Second, Kolisch is the only major violinist who bows with his left hand. When he was a boy, the middle digit of his left hand was crushed, making it necessary to amputate the tip. He could not bear to give up playing, so he began studying all over again, backwards. “But being a boy,” he says, “it was much simpler than if I had been an adult. In fact, I don’t think an adult could make the change successfully. LAs 1 DAY _ | .TAMES CAGNEY “PICTI'RF, SNATCHER” Plus “Whispering Smith Speaks” frog; .. iliBK

Bomar Cramer Plays Four Roles in Piano Concert Here Friday Pianist to Appear as Composer, Conductor, Performer, and Arranger on Mu Phi Epsilon Program. Bomar Cramer, local pianist, is to appear as composer, conductor, performer and arranger in the Mu Phi Epsilon 10-piano concert at 8:30

Friday right in Caleb Mills Hall. On recent visits to Mexico, Mr. Cramer became interested in the trends of popular music, and the danzon, “Locos por Amor,” written especially for Friday night’s program, is one of the results. The danzon, the composer explains, transcends the rumba in popularity with Latin-Americans, but has been very difficult for American dance bands to master. The music is somewhat of the nature of North American “blues,” a strange mixture of cross rhythms supplemented with rhythms of percussion, often of a primitive type. Four of the 10 pianists are to employ native instruments—claves, huicharos, castanelas and a marimba—in the performance. Air-i. s e3 Five Numbers Mr. Cramer has arranged five of the six compositions. In addition to directing the group, he is to play two numbers from the Arensky Suite for Two Pianos with Miss Sara Elizabeth Miller. Guest soloist for the concert is to be Miss Elma Igelman, artist teacher of voice at the Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music, and a lyric LYRK ON STAGE.

Mr. Allen, one of radio’s top notch comedians, makes his first movie appearance in “Thanks A Million.” His foil in the film is Patsy Kelly. The story concerns a stranded theatrical trope which starts anew fad in political campaigning.

Boob Comic Is Star on Lyric's Bill Britt Wood Still Gets Much Applause With His Rube Antics. “The Boob and his harmonica." Britt Wood, is the real headliner on the Lyric’s stage this week, despit* the fact that he closes the show. Mr. Wood has become a tradition at the Lyric. When he was here last, the management decided to change his act to more modern tempo, but found it didn't work. Every one wanted to hear Britt tell about his trip to Chicago, and about how he blew and blew on the lamp in the hotel room and it wouldn't go out. Britt even plays the same tunes on his harmonica. He tries to yodel but can’t do it any better now than he could then. Yet it’s even funnier now. Sully and Thomas are back with much of their original act which also is funny. The boy in the duo can dance well but the girl is more humorous. Trio Is Entertaining Haig. Haig and Howe, a group of boys, do just about everything, and are equally entertaining. They start with fiddles and close with clever dancing. Their rough and tumble skits are among the best in vaudeville. The Radio City Follies is not so good. The singing ensemble (six persons) goes through several sketches featuring songs of yesteryear and a few modern tunes. The dancing chorus is only fairly agile. On the Lyric screen is "My Marriage,” with Claire Trevor and Kent Taylor. Best in the cast is Paul Kelly. Pauline Frederick, star of years ago, casts plenty of wicked glances and struts villainously across the screen in a poorly acted story about a young girl whose father was a racketeer. (By J. W. TANARUS.)
