'ROSE MARIE' AND 'CEILING ZERO' RETURN TO CITY SCREENS

Musical Film to Open at Circle Tomorrow and Air Movie Starts at Apollo

Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy at Best in Operetta. BY JOHN W. THOMPSON The unusual success of ' Rase Marie,” starring Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald, which opens tomorrow at the Circle for its second week at downtown theaters, is traceable only to the public's demand for excellent music. The story, more interesting than many straight movies contain, nevertheless is completely subjugated to the music. Whole portions of the original operetta, which enjoyed long runs on the stage, have been deleted to increase the speed. Miss MacDonald plays Marie de Flor, a glamorous opera star who forsakes her career to track down her fugitive brother. Disguised as an adventuress, she enters the Candian woods and runs into Sergt. Bruce, a mountie, played by Mr. Eddy. He suspects her, follows and falls in love with her and then arrests her brother. He decides in favor of duty rather than love, and rides off with his prisoner. Miss De Flor, however, suffers a nervous breakdown, but finds that the handsoxne sergeant is the only cure. One Song Stands Out Outstanding among the many song hits is "Indian Love Call,” sung beautifully by both. Miss MacDonald is at her best in "Pardon Me, Madame,” a novelty number. As she sings a phrase it is taken up by workmen and chambermaids in a hotel. Although photographed amid lovely cloud formations and woodland scenes, we are not sure that one would find quite such places in Canada. Mr. Eddy, who is to come here in March for a concert, continues his upward trail, which is marked with countless conquests among feminine fans. There’s no doubt but that he has a way about him and can sing. Smaller parts are well played by James Stewart, Robert Grcig, Reginald Owen, and Allen Jones, who sings as well as he did with the Marx brothers in "A Night at the Opera."

Mahnee Musicale to Present Recital Charles Hamilton, Connersville, is to be tenor soloist at the concert by the Choral Ensemble of the Indianapolis Matinee Musicale, directed by Fred Newell Morris, at 8:15 tomorrow in the Scottish Rite Cathedral. Mrs. Carll Irrgang and Mrs. Minor S. Goulding have arranged the program, the choral portion of whicn is to be devoted to the works of H. Alexander Mathews. Dale W. Young, organist, is to offer a group of solos. The program follows: •'Dusk” H. Alexander Mathews ■‘To Phyllis” H. Alexander Mathews Choral Ensemble. Indianapolis Matinee Musicale.

Jimmy Cagney Gives Fine Work in Picture With Sad Ending. During the first of the cold waves. “Ceiling Zero” 'has nothing to do with the temperature), a picture made from the stage play of the same name, slid in and out of town at the Lyric. It is to be shown for another week at the Apollo starting tomorrow. Faced with the problem of giving it a sad ending, or following the Hollywood tradition and letting ! smiles come in at the finale, the producers decided to show Broadway they could get away with an unhappy finish too, and it's swell. Jimmy Cagney, fresh from "Mid- , summer Night's Dream,” gives a i splendid performance as Dizzy Davis, irresponsible aviator about whom the story spins. Stuart Erwin and Pat O'Brien are excellent as his pals who fail to keep him out of trouble. War Ace Directs Film Howard Hawks, wartime air ace, skillfully directed the film which gets off to a flying start as Dizzy comes to an airport where O'Brien is manager and Erwin a flyer. Dizzy, always watching for feminine beauty, spies Tommy Thomas, played by June Travis. He feigns sickness and gets Erwin to take his trick on the air mail route. Erwin crashes to his death in a heavy fog. Dizzy, realizing his life has been a failure, takes out an experimental plane, equipped with new apparatus for storm flying and plunges to his death. Dizzy radios valuable information, however, about further development on new equipment. It's all very weepy. There hasn't been a better aviation picture for a long time. Miss Travis looks promising as the heroine, Mr. O’Brien supplies plenty action and Mr. Erwin is unusually comical. v “Winterset” to Be Filmed "Winterset,” reigning New York dramatic sensation, will be filmed in the near future with Burgess Meredith in his current “starring role. N. Y. Actor to Play in Film Two recent recruits from the New York stage, Louise Latimer and Owen Davis Jr., will appear as a romantic team in “Murder on a Bridle Path.”

Chorus Comes Here March 8 Westminster Group Sings at First Presbyterian. "American Symphonic Singers” is the title given by European critics to the Westminster Chorus, which is to sing at Caleb Mills Hall on March 8. under auspices of the Women's Auxiliary to the First Presbyterian Church. Directed by John Finley Williamson, it has done much to add to our musical prestige in Europe. A throat operation started Dr. Williamson on his career. The son of a Canton (O.) pastor, he studied at Otterbein University and had been a pupil of David Bispham and Herbert Witherspoon, before surgery impaired his voice and turned him to choral conducting. He took a position as choir director in Dayton, 0., at the Westminster Presbyterian Church. There his choir became so popular that it gave two services each Sunday to accommodate the listeners. Dr. Williamson’s choir gained the attention of Mrs. H. E. Talbott, of Dayton, whose patronage made possible a number of American tours, a European tour in 1928, and another trip to Europe two years ago.

Prize Lead Dog Saved Man's Life Jesuit Alaskan Explorer Probably to Tell Story Sunday. When the Rev. Bernard R. Hubbard. well-known Jesuit priest and Alaskan explorer, screens his latest adventure film at Keith’s theater Sunday, he probably will tell the story about Margie, the prize lead dog who once saved his life. Recently Rev. Hubbard told for the first time about the incident which occurred on his 1930 trip, the first of his exploration ventures. He became delirious, ill with influenza. The 1600-mile “mush” along the Yukon trail was made with Margie instinctively leading the pack. Unaccountably, she pulled the sled team to a halt in front of the Holy Cross Mission Hospital on Yukon River. Margie has been the traveling priest's favorite ever since. Early during last season's work she gave birth to seven mischievous pups. The duties of motherhood left her weak. When the Rev. Hubbard and his party set out on a trek through the Katmai Pass against a 60-tnile gale filled with pumice dust, he suddenly discovered that Margie wasn't along. At the risk of losing his way, Rev. Hubbard went back alone to the camp and got her. When she gave out entirely on last season’s trek, Rev. Hubbard sent her to California.
