THIRD MAJOR BOWES' UNIT COMING TO LYRIC STAGE FRIDAY

Troupe Wins Applause in Other Cities Youman Brothers, Imitators of Bands, Top Cast of Amateurs. Hailed as the cream of the amateur hour crop, Major Bowes’ Unit No. 1 is to be the attraction on the Lyric stage starting Friday, it was announced today. This traveling troupe of the major’s radio talent is to be the third set of his vaudeville entertainers to visit Indianapolis. The unit is to come here from Detroit, where it did a "stand-up” business. A month ago it played in New York, the only one of Major Bowes’ groups to play in that city. There they "wowed” the Eastern sophisticates, according to Variety magazine. Youman Brothers Head Cast Heading the cast of Unit No. 1 are the Youman brothers, three Chicago boys who use clarinet, violin and accordion to imitate music of famous bands. This trio is the only amateur "discovery” to appear on more than one of the Sunday night broadcasts with the major. They have been back twice as guest artists. Others to appear are Sara Berner, former department store clerk, who does impersonations; Fritzie Robbins, blues singer; Alfred Reynolds, tap dancer; Celeste Alvi, soprano; Kenneth Broadhurst, banjoist; Dewey Moon, singing Negro boy from Pittsburgh; Skects Simmons, erstwhile hobo turned humorist; John Randolph, baritone, and the Red Bank Rangers, hillbilly troupe. Jack Squires is to be master of ceremonies. With the stage attraction the Lyric is to show the film, "The Leathernecks Have Landed,” starring Lew Ayres. Isabel Jewell is the leading lady. Organist Is to Give Program De Pauw Teacher to Play at Greencastle. Dr. Van Denman Thompson, nationally known organist and composer and acting dean of the music srhool of De Pauw University, is to give a recital tonight in the Robin Memorial Church, Greencastle.

"But I’ve got to stand in for you,” said Art. "That's all right,” answered Marshall, “I’ll stand in for myself.” And all afternoon Marshall sat quietly between scenes while electricians lighted his face and cameramen focused their cameras—doubling for Art Berry whose sole job is doubling for Mr. Marshall.

GARBO THE MYSTERIOUS Her True Story By ELISABETH VON CAUB

Chapter VI DISCOURAGEMENT IN AMERICA LOUIS B. MAYER came to Berlin via Paris, where he had seen "Gosta Berling.” He went straight to Stiller. At this unexpected turn of fortune Stiller'? mind went first to Greta. He tried on Mayer the method which had worked so well with Pabst. “If you want me, you must take Miss Garbo, too,” he said. Mayer hadn't noticed her. He was not even interested. "She is a great beauty,” said Stiller—"a type of beauty that oc-

Greta Garbo and her director, Maurice Stiller (above) as they arrived in New York from Sweden for the first time. Stiller at the time, and not Miss Garbo, was the artist besought by Hollywood. Film folk in the United States took Stiller seriously, but not his extravagant claims for his protege. They promised to give her a chance. But they expected nothing sensational to come of it.

curs only once in a hundred years. She has charm, distinction. You will never regret engaging her.” He suggested a salary for Greta to begin at S4OO a week. Mayer was anxious to get Stiller. He had plenty of pretty girls. Stiller was his chief concern. He must not, run the risk of allowing any possible rival management to snatch this brilliant producer from his very grasp. If the girl had to be included, well and good. So he agreed. Stiller’s journey to Sweden was now very different from the one he had figured out only a few days earlier. Yet, somehow, he was not happy. He was no longer the optimistic, self-confident Stiller. Already he began to regard the American adventure with misgiving. Greta was to follow him to Stockholm in a few days, and as soon as her work in “Street of Sorrow” was completed, she started on her homeward journey. n n AS the night of the premiere was approaching, the executives held a consultation and decided that it would be advisable to follow the custom of inviting the principals to appear in person. A telegram was sent to Greta requesting her company. Promptly came her reply: “Who is paying for journey?” The directors were thunderstruck. Her answer seemed to them little less than an insult. But someone suddenly saw the funny side of it, and the mood spread. A second telegram was sent. “Come in peav,e. You will find everything in order.” But the cautious Greta, remembering Constantinople, would not

Sara Elizabeth Miller s Playing Sets Her Above Students' Class Indianapolis Pianist Shows Marked Advancement Since Her Last Recitai Presented Here Two Years Ago. BY JAMES THRASHER There is a time in the careers of more fortunate practitioners of the arts when they cease to be regarded as talented students and become adjudged by professional standards. The dividing line is a shadowy one, but Sara Elizabeth Miller, Indianapolis pianist, surely has crossed it.

Her recital last night in Sculpture Court of the John Herron Art Institute, the first complete program she has presented here in two years, assured her listeners that hers are professional attainments. Miss Miller drew upon the music of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms and a group of moderns to form a rather ponderous program, and one well able to test the resources of any performer. The evening's climax came with the closing Brahms group, an Intermezzo and Capriceio from Opus 116, and the monumental Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel.” It is no mean feat for a player to keep his audience awake during these variations, lovely as they are, but Miss Miller invested her delivery with such a wealth of color and variety, such heroic conquest of all technical pitfalls, that the end came all too soon. Instead of a set of bravura variations, the pianist gave us a truly illuminated glimpse of the brilliant facets of the composer's genius. Best at Brahms Music The Brahms music throughout showed Miss Miller at her best. Deep insight and true understanding were there, and complete emotional sympathy. The Intermezzo disclosed that familiar quality aptly described by Peladan as “latent heat beneath a formal exterior" — so often lost in performance. The Capriceio (strange title fr the uncapriqious music we find. beneath it), came to the listeners in a surge of heroic, passionate rebellion. To begin now at the beginning, the two Bach chorales and the Beethoven “Appasionata” sonata were capably done, although not

budge from Stockholm until the money for the fare was safely lodged in her hands. But by this time "Street of Sorrow” had embarked upon a fresh series of misfortunes. The censor and directors could not agree as to what constituted the border-line between respectability and loose morals. The film was edited and reedited. Cut after cut was made. At last, May 19, was fixed for the opening date. Once more Greta arrived at the decorated Mozartsaal on the Noll-

endrof Platz. Once more she took her place among the assembled stars, and bowed to the clapping multitude. This time a large measure of the applause was definitely intended for herself. Without doubt, she was the hit of the film. tt tt tt BERLTN was shocked by this picture, which portrayed so graphically the terrible aftermath of th°. war—horrors with which the populace were only too intimately familiar. But the critics acclaimed Greta enthusiastically, and “Street of Sorrow” was one more feather in the cap of G. W. Pabst. Once back in Stockholm, Greta seemed to drop her fits of restlessness, and to recover her former quiet delight in the very fact of being alive. It is true that there were spells of silence. But with Stiller near at hand, they were not of long duration. Already, too, she was beginning to lose the roundness of youth, and to acquire those grey-hound-slender lines which would shortly set the fashion for the world. Stiller and Greta started going together again. It was early summer. Stockholm was at its gayest and best. The long June days ran into an almost interminable round of feasts and parties. Greta loved all this, and her charm, even in those days before fame overtook her, brought many lovers to her feet. There are still extant in Stockholm bundles of perfumed, ribbon-tied love letters which prove the prodigality of Greta’s affection. She was not so

with the distinction that marked Miss Miller's playing in the last of the “three B s.” There are few of the accustomed “lady-like” qualities in her pianism, and the sonata was given a robust, masculine interpretation. Best of the three movements was the second, and the last, although brilliant, was defeated by its own impetuosity in places. Miss Miller's performance of the group made up of a Scriabine Etude, an Improvisation by Medtner, and "Bruyeres,” “La puerta del Vino,” and “L isle joyeuse,” by Debussy. almost reached the level of her Brahms. Here again was close sympathy with the composer's message, and feats of virtuosity were accomplished with ease. Lack of space forbids a lengthy discussion of the pianist's "technical” attainments, but they are many. Fleet fingers, great power, a tone of eloquent sonority, all are included in her equipment, and a distinctive spirit and vitality that are refreshing. One may disagree with Miss Miller's playing, if he likes, but he never nods. Naturally, this player has not reached her peak of advancement, but she has come a long way. Wise and artistic teaching, added to musical intelligence and undeniable talent, have produced a remarkably fine pianist. Swarthout Chosen as Beauty Gladys Swarthout, singing star, has been chosen by three noted artists as the “ideal American beauty.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

sparing with her pen in those days as she is now! All these affairs seem to have been rapturous but brief. To the same period belongs a very warm friendship with sfi tall, handsome young actor who is noted, now, for his melancholy disposition. The man in t u - case is now married to a pretty woman whom he adores.. But he never speaks of Greta, and his friends forbear to mention her in his hearing. Another admirer who was admitted to very close friendship with, Greta at this time has lately reentered her life, and rumor has been very busy coupling their names. tt tt tt THE last night in Stockholm arrived. Greta and Stiller decided to celebrate it together. He said she might choose where she would like to go. Without hesitation, she voted for the Oscar’s Theater, where “Orloff” was being played. In the very first interval Stilller called round to the star dressing room to pay his respects to the leading lady, Naima Wifstrand. Almost at once big-hearted Naima recalled the same timid little student had left bouquets of flowers for her at the porter’s room of the theater. But Greta followed the actress’ movements with looks of adoration. Every now and then she would whisper. “It isn’t true. I must be dreaming. Am I really meeting her at last?” It is strange to think of the Great Garbo, who so resents fan-worship, being such an ardent fan herself. In America absolutely nothing turned out as Greta had expected, although the voyage across the Atlantic was one of unalloyed delight. But Stiller, it seems, was gradually weaning her of her desire to lean on him The time was soon to come when j would need all her fortitude ai.d self-reliance. They arrived at the very worst time of the year. New York lay sweltering in blankets of summer heat. Stiller had business that kept him whirling in taxis through .he town. Greta could only console herself with a cold bath, in which she would remain for hours on end. The future was not so secure that they could live recklessly. They had to put up at a second-class hotel. The result was an accumulation of discomfort such as Greta had never imagined. For three months this purgatory endured. At last came instructions to proceed to California. n a tt HERE, indeed, a welcome awaited them. The flowers Greta had dreamed of came to life in the arm., of the official reception committee. There were photographers, too, and reporters galore to record the arrival of the newcomers from Sweden. Greta seems mainly to have impressed them by her unusual stature. Her broad shoulders, her long legs and swinging gait, were so different from the charms of the petite, orchidaceous Hollywood ladies, that everyone wondered what the producers and cameramen would be able to make of this angular Swedish giantess, who looked so demure, and seemed to hold herself aloof. Santa Monica, home of the little Swedish colony, became quite an agreeable place to Greta. Cut off from the rest of the population, speaking their own language, keeping to their own food and customs, the Swedes made the most of their exile, and remained, in a way, independent. Happily occupied as these days were, Greta longed for the time when she would begin work on her first picture. But the powers-that-be, as the newspapers had predicted, scarcely Knew what to do with her. They were scared of her unusual proportions and the many other problems she presented. Photographic tests were made, but as in Berlin, they proved almost hopeless. At last Arnold Genthe. the celebrated camera artist, made a number of beautiful studies which turned the tide of opinion in Greta’s favor, and she was chosen for the leading role in. a picture called “The Torrent.” tt tt x AND now the greatest disappointment of all awaited Greta. She found that it was not Stiller who had been selected to direct this picture, but a total stranger, one who spoke not a word of her language. The producer was Bonta Bell. Beneath this final blow, Greta lost heart, and she would have thrown up her contract if Stiller himself had not advised her to be patient. With a degree of effacement remarkable in one of his outstanding personality, he threw the whole weight of his influence into strengthening her to meet the new situation—although he knew quite well that the loss of Greta might prove very damaging to his own future as a producer. It was not easy for a young girl, just 21, to cope with all the problems that seemed to engulf Greta at this period. In Europe she had been accustomed to working with only a few people. Here everything was on a huge scale—sets, equipment, per-

Hollywood Just a Laboratory . for Hard Work to Nelson Eddy Baritone Spurns Sports and Night Clubs to Improve His Technique for Motion Picture Roles. Instead of indulging in the usual film colony pastimes of golf, polo, dancing ana night club attendance, Nelson Eddy, when in Hollywood, spends his leisure time making records for his own amusement and instruction. The popular bar Lone, who is to close the Martens series with a recital at English’s Sunday afternoon, works upon his newest artistic medium, motion pictures, with the same thoroughness which has marked

his rise to fame in other fields. Part of the singer’s apparatus for experiments stands in the living room of the Beverly Hills home which he and his mother occupy. One of his favorite stunts is to sing different choral parts into the recording machine, then assemble them into a one-man chorus. Explaining the machine's more practical uses, the singer says, "I read the scenes of my scripts into this phonograph. Then I play back the record and ‘act’ with the scenes, thus learning my lines in half the time it would take me otherwise. In this way I have a chance to act as my own critic and correct my mistakes. Pictures Self as Amusing “I must look very funny standing in the room all by myself, arguing, making love, singing, fighting or pleading—but it's a perfect way to study dialogue and I'm thinking of working out a portable outfit that any actor can use. “And so,” he continues, “Hollywood has meant to me much the same as any other job—hard work, study, slow advancement, tardy recognition, but gorgeous and spontaneous recognition when it came.” Regarding his habits of study, Mr. Eddy says, “I practice an hour or so almost every day, but not always. I always run the scales or roll off a bit of song while I am shaving. I’ve never done much practicing before a concert or any performance. I believe in saving my vitality and Voi’ce for the performance itself.” Walls in Home Are Unique Gary Cooper’s new home is a replica of those in Bermuda. Among the unusual features of it are walls covered with thin strips of bamboo, instead of wall paper.

Prof. Lee Norvelle, state theater project director, who adapted the Edward Eggleston novel for the players, has done as much as he could to speed up the tempo of this folk tale about the early days in southern Indiana. Technically it is well handled in a kaleidoscopic fashion. The story is that of Ralph Hartsock, young schoolmaster, who comes to the Flat Crick district, falls in love with a pleasant housemaid whose life is little less than that of a slave. Gossip and the plotting of some villainous thieves serve to get Ralph brought before the bar of justice accused of stealing S3OO from one of the villagers. A nervous breakdown on the part of one of the henchmen, who confesses at the last minute, serves to release the wronged man, and he flies to the arms of his darling, Hannah, the hired girl. Hoosier Slang Brings Laughs The old-fashioned costumes and early Hoosier slang brought many giggles and a few guffaws from last night s audience. The play's best comedy is supplied in the last scene by Bud Means (Verling Pierson), who resembles slightly Joe E. Brown, as he prepares for his proposal to Martha Hawkins (Alice Arnold). Ned Le Fevre does well with the leading role and Betty Anne Brown again is outstanding as the hired girl. Ira B. Klein. Elsa Ewell. Jack Duval and Hal Hawkes colorfully represent some of our Ohio River valley ancestors—hicks of the first water. To stir up memories in the older spectators and to recall to the younger ones tales told by their grandparents, there is a spelling bee and a log church “meetin' ” at which a condemning preacher warns his flock of their approaching doom. Strikingly, “The Hoosier Schoolmaster” delineates the changes which have taken place since the Hoosier state was in its “Tobacco Road” days. Next week the Federal Players are to produce "Mrs. Temple's Telegram.” Colbert Given Coala Bear Claudette Colbert recently received an unusual present from an Australian admirer. It is the Antipodean version of a teddy-bear, a quaint little animal that lives in the tree tops. The bear is made life size. Rooney Takes Up Polo Mickey Rooney has taken up polo and is being taught the game by Spencer Tracy, who is planning to organize a team of youngsters. Leslie Ruth Howard, daughter of Leslie Howard, will be a member.
