'THE GREAT ZIEGFELD' COMING TO LOEW'S THEATER MAY 1

Movie Story Depicts Life of Showman Stars, Cast of Hundreds Appear in Lavish Production. The film story of Florenz Ziegfeld’s life. "The Great Ziegield,” is to open at Loew’s May 1 for a road show run of one week, L. Ward Farar, Loew's manager, announced today. The picture, starring William Powell, Myrna Loy, Luise Ranier and boasting a cast of hundreds, has been produced on a vast scale, even more "glorified” than the "Follies” which Mr. Ziegfeld presented. Before the picture went into actual filming, months were spent in research, and an effort was made to reproduce in detail ail the little things which are remembered about Mr. Ziegfeld; his office furniture, his home life, his idiosyncrasies. According to the New York drama critics, “The Great Ziegfeld” has turned the trick. Famous Names In Cast Its presentation at Loews will mark the first time a picture has been "road shown” at a local movie theater. Prices will be from 50 cents to 51.50. As to the cast, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has surrounded the story with several box-office names. Myrna Loy plays Billie Burke, Ziegfeld’s wife; Mr. Powell portrays the great Ziegfeld and Miss Ranier takes the part of Anna Held. Others in the picture include Virginia Bruce as Mr. Ziegfeld’s most "glorified” beauty; Fanny Brice, Frank Morgan, Harriett Hoctor, Anna Pennington, Reginald Owen, Nat Pendleton, Gilda Gray and a new dance star, Ray Bolger, who was awarded anew long-term contract with the studio after officials saw his dancing. IK2 In Dancing Chorus Artists models from all parts of ihr country and a dancing chorus of 182 were used to form the background for the film. Adrian, Hollywood designer, created hundreds of Ziegfeldian costumes for the picture. One set used in the picture weighed 92 tons, was operated by a synchronized electric motor. In the background was a cyclorama, 260 feet long and as high as a seven-story building. On this were constructed the sky and stars, the latter being 6000 automobile headlights flashing on and off. At the end of the scene in which this set was used a huge curtain of 4300 yards of silk weighing 1800 pounds, swept in front of the set. The outside of the curtain was white, the inside blending from white to black in 22 shades. Everything upon which the great showman's success was based appears in the film—except nudity. Mr. Ziegfeld didn’t have to worry about the Hays’ office.

Jordan Conservatory Faculty Members Please in Recital Mary Kapp, Violinist, Alice Rayburn, Pianist, Win High Praise From Critic After Recital in Odeon. BY JAMES THRASHER Two cha-ming and talented young musicians. Mary Kapp. violinist, and Alice Rayburn, pianist, laid aside the duties and dignity of faculty members of the Arthur Jordan Conservatory last night and gave their listeners an evening of highly enjoyable music.

The recital, held in Odeon Hall, marked the young ladies’ first public appearance since their appoint- | ment to the school's teaching roster last fall. Their program was chosen wisely to display their abilities without taxing their powers of interpretation of their listeners’ patience. Miss Kapp was heard first in the D Major Concerto of Paganini, a work which offers a stiff test of any fiddler’s ability. The soloist, however, met each difficulty with complete composure and technical mastery. She conquered such violinistic snares as octaves, trills, double stops and harmonics with flawless intonation and assurance. Miss Kapp possesses technical gifts of a truly high order, and a tone which if not 6f thrilling richness, is pure and of compelling power. Rondo Well Done The opening group was completed with two Godowsky compositions, “Legende” and “Valse Macbre,” in which, as in the concerto, Mrs. Lucille Wagner was the able accompanist. In the Beethoven Sonata. Op. 28, Miss Rayburn's first solo, there was none of the superficial scurrying that characterizes many feminine interpretations of this master's work. Depth of tone, fluent unity and vitality marked the performance throughout. This vitality, in fact, marred the opening of the second movement, destroying the feeling of respose which the composer obviously wished. In its entirety the interpretation Vas satisfying; the rondo, whence the sonata doubtless earned its subtitle of “pastoral,” was particularly well done.

Duet Is Fleasing There can be nothing but praise for Miss Rayburn as a player of Debussy. Her performance of "La Terrasse •des Audiences du Clair de Lune,’’ “La Puerta del Vino,” and “Feux d'Artifice” was supple, colorful and buoyant. The last number especially, one of the most delightful tonal pictures in piano literature, was played with spirit and infectious enjoyment. To close the evening, the performers joined forces in the C Minor Sonata of Grieg. The work is melodious and easily assimilated; the first movement one of the composer's more sincere utterances. Miss Kapp and Miss Rayburn brought to it an admirable balance, flexibility and understanding. The entire program was one in which, at least to this listener, dull moments happily were absent. Universities Employ Backstage Pictures Timm Special HOLLYWOOD, April 21.—Motion picture backstage scenes are used in educational work at two universities. according to ii ormation re- I ceived here. The M< fill School of Journalism of Northwestern University included illustrations of j “How Movies Are Made” in its ’ permanent photographic file.

Team in New Film 'And Sudden Death' Timm Special HOLLYWOOD, April 21.—Frances Drake and Randolph Scott are teamed together for the first time in “And Sudden Death.” anew picture inspired by an article of that title by J. C. Furnas. Supporting Mr. Scott and Miss Drake are Tom Brown and Terry Walker, young Alaskan actress who j recently came to Hollywood. P || Q I I C Lj Tar., Wed.. Apr. 28-29 LI!UL I0 II Papular Mat.

Acting No Snap, Says Local Girl ‘Sutter’s Gold’ Has Closeup of Miss Lawson. Acting in movies is no snap, according to Priscilla Lawson, former Indianapolis girl appearing briefly in “Sutter’s Gold” at the Indiana. in a letter to The Times, Priscilla describes her experiences while working in this film. “I worked about a week on the set for ‘Sutters’ Gold.’ There were more than 200 of us on location,” Miss Lawson writes. “You can imagine the noise they made chatting between takes. The finished picture contains one close-up of me for which I am grateful. The ‘very choice’ ones were left on the cutting room floor.” Still Gets Jittery When the director shouts "quiet” and “roll ’em” Priscilla confesses she still gets a bit jittery until the first words of the scene have been spoken, even though she has worked in nearly every Universal picture made since she received a contract. Miss Lawson was chosen, with other members of the cast, to go to Sacramento for the film’s grand premiere. The troupe also attended special ceremonies at Sutter’s Fort near there. The former Sbortridge High School girl has just returned from a brief vacation in the Sierra mountains with her mother and will start to work in another Universal film soon.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Work Made Band Good, Heidt Says Lyric Orchestra Refuses to Rest on Laurels, Works Hard. The Lyric curtain dropped on another Horace Heidt stage presentation, the last note of a melodious tune died away, and 28 members of the orchestra and glee club rushed off stage to no, you’re wrong. Not to rest and recreation, but to w'ork. For work, work, work and more work is the password and keynote of Mr. Heidt’s organization. Almost before the applause had ceased, the glee club had assembled in one of the Lyric’s dressing rooms, the trumpet players in another, and so on, all to practice new songs, new arrangements, to work out new ideas for novelty numbers and other features for stage shows. Mr. Heidt Is Modest In still another dressing room, above the din of rehearsals, Mr. Heidt modestly, but quite naturally with a trace of pride, explained how he and his boys prepare their stage and radio programs, how T he built up anew band last year and found a sponsor to back him on a national radio network. There’s no trace of conceit, though, in Mr. Heidt, and for a member of his organization to get "cocky” or individualistic means just one thing—dismissal. “We know just how lucky we are,” the director explained, “and we’re doing everything we can to justify our good fortune. We have perfect sponsorship for radio programs, and with fine stage and hotel contracts, we know we’re enjoying a lucky break, but we don’t want to be conceited about it. If we don’t keep on working, developing new ideas, we’ll slip out of the spotlight, and we know it.” The Brigadiers give a slightly different program each time they go on the Lyric stage, novelty numbers varying with audience reaction. But today the entire program is to be changed, except for a few particularly popular features. Lyric patrons today, tomorrow and Thursday are to hear "Changing of the Guard,” “Sylvia,” “Shooting High.” “Popeye,” Johnny the Smoker” and other new numbers. Committees Handle Business To facilitate work, the organization is divided into committees which handle routine business. There is a committee on arrangements, a committee on new music, another on complaints, another on recreation, and several others, each working to make each member’s daily schedule easier and more profitable. Mr. Heidt has complete charge of his Thursday night CBS broadcasts. He changes the script as he desires, and recently introduced announcements ir rhyme and found them popular. He said this feature already has been copied by two other bands. Radio programs are planned three weeks in advance of presentation, are rehearsed regularly along with, new stage numbers. Not Sold On Swing Music The director of the Brigadiers takes little stock in swing music, although he plays it. "We want to appeal to every taste,” he explained, “so we don’t want to be known as a swing band, or any other particular type of band. By playing all types of music we try to appeal to a wide audience, and as styles in music change, we change with them.” It is the music of the Brigadiers, not the personnel, which changes. “Only when a member —and this rarely happens—gets conceited, do

Meanwhile, local committees of the sorority are completing program arrangements and preparing the fieldhouse for the event. The program is to open with a fanfare by six trumpeters, pupils of Raymond Oster. An added feature will be the appearance of the combined choirs of Butler University and Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music, directed by Donald C. Gilley. Technical High School pupiL are preparing a large replica of the S. A. I. badge, which is to hang abo r e the players. Four tall baskets of red roses, the sorority flower, are to be donated by the Wurlitzer Piano Cos., which built the festival pianos. Special sound equipment also is to be installed. Maj. Bowes has agreed to “plug” the event on his radio program, according to Mrs. Sterling. There will be 25 professional pianists to be heard with each of the three groups of students, as well as in a special group alone. They are: Mesdames Arthur g.

"Hollywood doesn’t want pretty laces,” he declared. “The thing that counts is character. Too often, the girl with conventional beauty is merely another pretty girl. But there is another type of beauty the screen is demanding. It is beauty that reflects personality. "For example—last night I drove up to one of those drive-in hamburger stands and ordered a sandwich. I noticed a little girl running backwards and forwards. I asked that she be sent over to me, and after talking to her, I asked her to call at the office the next day. Naturally she was dubious, and came—with three other people with her. "The dramatic coach also believed her unusual, so now she is attending our dramatic school in the afternoons, and has agreed to attend for at least three months. If she develops as we think she will, she will be signed. But she is not beautiful. She merely is different.” Rosalind Russell Athletic Rosalind Russell is one of the outstanding athletes among screen actresses. She excels in riding, swimming, basketball and hockey.

Lauds Marshall for His Charm Gertrude Michael Prefers Him as Leading Man. Times Special HOLLYWOOD, April 21.—Blonds prefer gentlemen, or more specifically, Gertrude Michael prefers the .suave Herbert Marshall as her leading man. Public reaction seems to back up Miss Michael. Says Gertrude: “It isn't that he just displays good manners. Herbert has a charm that is a part of him, on the screen and off. It isn't just put on for special occasions. And he has a happy faculty of making you feel that he doesn't take himself too seriously.” Robert Florey, who directed Marshall and Miss Michael in their latest picture, "Till We Meet Again,” supplements the actress’ viewpoint with this observation; "Herb has the most seductive voice in pictures. He can express any mood at will merely by changing his voice. He has a mobile face but he doesn’t need to rely upon facial expressions to ‘get across’ his characterizations.” *

The play, which makes 15 members of the Federal Theater project in Indiana work hard to earn their pay, confirms our belief that its author, j Henry K. Burton, is an excellent | theater manager. The story has to do with Uncle j Jimmy Waterbury, whose relatives J leave him at the county poor farm. ' where he is content to play his ; fiddle. When he comes into considerable fortune the same relatives fight to entertain him in their luxurious homes and Uncle Jimmy again plays his fiddle. The play closes sentimentally at the end with Uncle Jimmy playing the very same fiddle. Music Is Highlight Although the drama is heaped with mortgages, lyin’, cheatin’ and romance, its highlights are the scenes in which Charles Althoff plays “When You and I Were Young, Maggie,” “Lights Out,” and an old-fashioned hoe-down. Mr. Althoff, the guest star this week at Keith’s, always has been an able vaudeville comedian. That his act doesn't just seem to fit into the limitations imposed by what we .oppose was intended to be melodrama. is to be expected. His makeup and eccentricities are well done. His violin work is entertaining in a rustic way. Among the large cast Jack Duval, as Abe Salisbury, Uncle Jimmy's pal, stands out. All of Mr. Duval's characterizations with the Federal Players have been on a high level. Ned LeFevre also does a nice job with Walter Kane, the young lawyers who saves Uncle Jimmy from his grasping relations. Newcomer Has Role Ira B. Klein is convincing as Henry Haslep, superintendent at the poor farm. A newcomer, C'Mari de Schipper, struggles through an unsympathetic role, as one of the scheming kin. The two sets, first in the Jasper County, Indiana, poor house, and then in a palatial Indianapolis residence, are the best seen at Keith’s this season. Lighting and make-up have improved greatly since the players’ first production. The moral of the play, the Golden Rule, is brought out in the last act when Uncle Jimmy tenderly forgives those who have trespassed and admits that, although he has never been much for religion, he has tried to live according to the Scriptures. Capable of Better Things There may be several laughs here and there for those w’ho enjoy Mr. Althoff’s antics, but we feel that the Federal Players, and Mr. Burton. are capable of better things. The play will be repeated each night this with a matinee Saturday. Starting Monday, the Players will present “Behold This Dreamer.”
