JUNIOR LEAGUE'S 'NUMBER PLEASE' IS ENJOYABLE REVUE

Benefit for Riley Hospital Is to Be Repeated Tonight on English Theater Stage

Clever Skits, Skillful Solo and Chorus Dancing Make Up Show. BY RALPH NORMAN Through 28 clever acts of amusing skits, skillful solo dances and good chorus dancing. Junior League ladies and their gentlemen friends romped last night in the variety show, “Number Please,” at English’s. A repeat performance is to begin at 8:15 tonight. Amateur talent and enthusiasm were combined with a professional show, good music, attractive costumes and good lighting to make "Number Please” an enjoyable evening’s entertainment. The opening performance was received enthusiastically by the audience. In the Arthur Seelig-Wesley Totten coached production, act after act was run off with far fewer errors than one might have expected in an amateur show, the chorus dances were good and at times excellent, and several novelty dances were outstanding. Men’s Ballet Funny While we had no fault to find with the ladies, our vote for the most amusing scene of the entire show went to an hilariously funnjj ballet dance by a dozen large men, who did not at all badly with their tiny ballet steps. What a headache coaching this dance must have given Mr. Totten. He well was rewarded for his efforts, though, with the ridiculously funny result. While nearly all the skits were up to the high standard set by the show as a whole, four stooges, played by Mrs. Robert C. Winslow, Mrs. Frederick Boone, Percy Weer and William Wildhack, were responsible for several of the production’s heartiest laughs. To reveal the character of most of the skits would be unfair to tonight’s audience. Half the fun of “Number Please” was in the surprises of comedy acts and trick dance numbers. In fact. Mr. Seelig requested that not much be said about the skits themselves, and we agreed that to be fully enjoyed they should be seen without warning of what is forthcoming. Best Dance Numbers Os the specialty numbers, the best dancing was by Mrs. Roemler Kinnaird and Carl Vonnegut, Mrs. Irving Fauvrc, and particularly Elinor Stickney, who alternated between chorus and solo work. Especially clever was a "cops and convicts” dance in which several dancers went through their routine with ankles bound by chains. Among the most enjoyable skits was a prima donna satirical number by Mrs. Frank Hoke, accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Herman Wolff. Then there was Tanzi, the educated horse (John Rocap and Daniel McDufee). directed by Mrs. Kurt Pantzer. We suspected the horse didn't do quite all he had been coached to do, but he did enough. A two-piano number by Mrs. Cornad Ruckelshaus and Dorothy Merrill deserved mention, as did the prettiest chorus dance of the show, a butterfly ensemble ;n which Lucille Martindale was the premier danseuse. In “Number Please” Messrs. Seelig and Totten have a good show, in its production Junior League members and friends have an entertaining offering their audiences can enjoy and at the same time contribute to the League’s occupational therapy shop at the James Whitecomb Riiey Hospital. Pupils to Present Recital Wednesday Piano pupils of Nora M. Beaver and Mary Inez Beaver are to be presented in recital Wednesday night in Cropsey Auditorium, Central Library. Those taking part are Marilyn Mueller, Marion Maple, Kathryn Maple, Louise Neal. Robert Bell. Betty McConnell. Sally Funkhouser, Elizabeth Schumaker, Marjorie Pyle.

Roseanna Whiteside and Louise Kaplan, dramatic art pupils of Elizabeth Whetsel.

Red Man Is Tired of Playing Indian Timex Special HOLLYWOOD, May 16.—A band of 250 Indians working in "The Texas Rangers” on location in New Mexico has been happy and diligent in movie work. That is, with one notable exception, a disconsolate brave. "What's the trouble there. Crazy Horse?” Jack Oakie inquired, noticing the red man's glum expression. "Ugh!” replied Crazy Horse, "me plenty tired of playing Indian."

Young Social Set Proves Versatility in Latest Group Endeavor. BY BEATRICE BURGAN Society Editor Orchids to the Junior League. This have proved their versatility. They can put on a show to earn money for their occupational therapy department at Riley Hospital as well as they can sell tickets for saddle horse roundups or programs by visiting celebrities. There were relatives and friends in the audience to laugh at the performed’ jokes and to applaud for intricate dance steps at last night’s opening of "Number Please,” musical revue, at English’s. Mr. and Mrs. Frederic Ayres with Mr. and Mrs. Lyman Ayres and their daughter, Miss Anne Ayres, watched the show from a box. Miss Ayres helped usher patrons and patronesses to their seats before the show began. Her smoky blue lace gown fit snugly and an abbreviated cape slipped over her shoulders. Attends With Parents Miss Helen Griffith came with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Griffith, and during intermission discussed the show with a Tudor Hall classmate. Miss Barbara Browm. Miss Brown watched the dance numbers closely, for she is master of many intricate ones as a pupil of Mrs. Williams Byram Gates. When Mitsuko Enomoto, Hawaiian student, visited here last week with Mrs. Herbert Woollen, Barbara had the thrill of receiving lessons in the hula from Mitusko. The young Hawaiian girl learned the native dance from a 70-year-old teacher who had taught the sacred hula dancers of the court. Miss Eunice Diskette, the incoming League president, listened lo the compliments of the audience as she stopped in the lounge during intermission. Her gown was sprigged with vivid shaded flowers on a white background. Train Is Green Chiffon Green chiffon frothed into a sweeping cascade train at the back of Mrs. John G. Williams’ gown. Mrs. Frederick T. Holliday, who has been dividing her time working for the league show and the Orchard School Mothers’ Association latest project, attended in a white lace gown, its collar gathered in fine pleats. Mrs. Conrad Ruckelshaus as one of the "Ladies of Wealth” set a fashion in using flowers as accessories for evening wear. Her white paper fan was covered with sweet smelling violets.. Mrs. Pantzer—‘Horsewoman’ Mrs. Kurt Pantzer’s friends were amused at her role as the equestrienne putting a trained "horse” through its paces. In reality she shies at the sight of a real one. Miss Brownie Miskimen covered her evening dress with a full length midnight blue taffeta coat. Mrs. Anna Marie Gall-Sayles, with her son, Sheldon Sayles. attended the show with Mrs. Jesse Fletcher. The show goes on again tonight. And after the final curtain most of the cast members will go on to the league cabaret party at the Indianapolis Athletic Club.

Actors Noted for Likeness 0 ! ‘Boy Meets Girl’ Company Team Cause Surprise. If you think you recognize Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur in j the wild pair of scenario featured in "Boy Meets Girl,” which opens at English’s Monday night, don’t be surprised. Nearly every one notes the resemblance, and it seems that Eric Dressier plays the MacArthur role, while Harold Vermilyea is the “Hechtic” member of the team. Mr. Dressier, who is about 30, withdrew from the cast of the Soviet hit, “Squaring the Circle,’’ to play in "Boy Meets Girl.” A Brooklyn boy whose arithmetic was so bad ne lost his job as bill collector for a gas company when 17, he attained prominence by way of music halls and vaudeville. His parts in hit plays include those in "The Goose Hangs High,’’ “Trelawny of the Wells,” “Excess Baggage” and "Lysistrata.” A resemblance to Grant Mitchell gave Mr. Vermilyea his start. George M. Cohan chose him for Mitchell’s vacated role in "It Pays to Advertise.” Before trying the stage, he was secretary to Senator Owen of Oklahoma and Augustus Thomas, the playwright. He was a big success in “Tailor Made Man.” “Boy Meets Girl” is to be here for two nights and a. Tuesday matinee. The cast also includes Polly Walters, Nigel Blake, Larry Fletcher and Irene Winston. Lecture, Music Form Program Women’s Association Plans Event for June 2. A lecture by Mrs. Demarchus Browm on "The Life and Philosophy of Omar Khayyam” and a performance of Liza Lehmann’s "In a Persian Garden” by a mixed quartet are to make up the program to be presented by the Indianapolis chapter of the National Association of Women Tuesday night. June 2, in the Columbia Club ballroom. Proceeds are to go to the program fund for next year, Florence K. Thacker, chapter president, announced. Members of the quartet are Irene Blanchard Heppner, soprano; Mary Traub Busch, contralto; Leslie Aye, tenor, and Edward La Shelle, bass. An ensemble of violin, cello, harp and piano is to play the occompaniments, which are being arranged by Karl Reckzeh of Chicago, conductor of the Indianapolis Maennerchor.

Court Drama to Be Staged Federal Players Schedule ‘Trial of Mary Dugan.’ Audiences going to Keith’s next week for the Federal Players’ presentation of “The Trial of Mary Dugan” are to see, upon entering the theater, not the customary curtain, but a reproduction of a New York district court. No curtain is to rise to begin the play, but a policeman will enter, read his newspaper, talk to scrub women. After a few minutes, court will open and the first sentence will be pronounced, sending to her death an Italian girl who killed her lover. Then will begin the trial of Mary Dugan, a former show girl, for murder of a wealthy New York playboy, Edgar Rice, found dead with a knife wound in his back. Strongest witness against the defendant is to be the wife of the murdered man, who will testify that after a reconciliation, he went to Mary’s apartment to break with her. When Edward West, Miss Dugan’s attorney, waives his opportunity to question Mrs. Rice, the defendant’s brother, a young lawyer, accuses him of neglect, and brings the case to conclusion. "The Trial of Mary Dugan” ran for a year on Broadway, and was presented in London, Berlin and other foreign cities. It has been translated into many languages, including the Chinese. Cast as Grandmother Jessie Ralph, the crotchety grandmother in “Jalna,” is once more a grandparent to Louise Latimer in “His Majesty Bunker Bean.”

Mysfery Is Offering of Loew Bill Complex Blackmail Plots Provide Test for Amateur Sleuths. Beautiful Loretta Young ends a long vacation by returning to pictures with anew co-starring partner. Franchot Tone, in an interesting. mildly exciting mysteryromance. “The Unguarded Hour,” now playing at Loew’s. “Roaming Lady,” with Ralph Bellamy and Fay Wray, completes Loew’s double-feature bill. Miss Young’s and Mr. Tone’s costarring vehicle is based on a play by the same name by Ladislaus Fodor, with the English adaptation by Bernard Merivale. It is an adequate story for an entertaining movie of love, blackmail, ambition and English social life. Ignores Wife’s Intuition Sir Alan Dearden (Mr. Tone) leads the state’s prosecution of Metford (Dudley Digges), accused of murdering his wife by pushing her ever Dover Cliff. Sir Alan ignores his wife’s “intuition” that the death may have been accidental, and hopes, by establishing his reputation with successful culmination of the case, to win a coveted appointment as state’s attorney. A day before completion of the trial, Sir Alan receives a note from a college sweetheart urging him to come at once to her home. A brief scene showing Dianna Rogers (Aileen Pringle), the former girl friend, with a companion, Hugh Lewis (Henry Daniell) tells us the purpose of the request is to further a blackmail enterprise. Sir Alan, missing a christening at which Roland Young amusingly if not ably substitutes for him as Godfather, keeps the appointment, returns with a severely cut hand. We soon suspect he murdered Dianna Rogers, and the same suspicion is harbored by Scotland Yard. The Plot Thickens Then Lady Dearden is subpenaed to testify in the Metford case. She reveals she was at the scene of the alleged murder at Dover Cliff to keep a rendezvous with a blackmailer who threatened publication of Sir Alan’s letters to Dianna Rogers unless hush money was forthcoming. Lady Dearden clears Metford of the murder charge, but in doing so reveals to Scotland Yard the motive of Sir Alan’s suspected murder of Dianna. Sir Alan confesses,

JEANNIE VK’Bvtiffll LANG 011tv? Singer i MARTY MAY ‘Roberta” Star BIFF STEEFE

; pleading self defense, testifying that j he believes Dianna, when she at- | tacked him with a knife, thought ! she was attacking another man. ;"Her companion in blackmail agrees, j for a large sum of money, to testify | his life had been threatened by Miss Rogers, proving Sir Alan's self-de-fense plea. To reveal more of the plot would be to tell what only Loew's should reveal. We merely state that unless you're better detectives than we. you’ll be surprised at the sudden turn of events which bring the interesting mystery-romance to a dramatic close. ‘Roaming Lady,’ Love Win Muss Young and Mr. Tone have an able supporting cast headed oy Roland Young. Lewis Stone, and Jessie Ralph as Lady Hathaway, a determined matron who lives to rule | her less-determined husband, Lord i Hathaway (E. E. Clive). "The Unguarded Hour” is not a great picture by any standard, but seeing it is a very diverting way to spend 50 minutes. Fay Wray and Ralph Bellamy battle through "Roaming Lady” in Loew’s second offering to w’in a complete victory over a stubborn, wealthy father. As Joyce Reed, Miss Wray plays the role of a spoiled, but captivating, daughter of a wealthy oil man. Her only apparent purpose in life is to win the love of a poor aviation instructor, Dan (Mr. Ballamy). This accomplishment leads them all the way to China, but love wins out in the end. (By R. N.) Call Swing Rhythm 'Sweet Heat' Music Times Special HOLLYWOOD, May 16—" Sweet heat”—that’s "swing” music. Leo Robin and Ralph Rainger, movie song writers, have found a title for the new craze in dance tempos which musicians from Leopold Stokowski to Bing Crosby so far tyave failed to describe. "By ‘sweet heat’ we mean ‘hot’ jazz built on a structure of ’sweet’ or melodic music,” Robin disclosed. "It’s this difference, more than anything else,” Rainger added, "that sets ’swing’ music apart from the jazz of the last decade.” WEST SIDE - A --1— 2702 W. 10th St. I /\ I [- Double Feature * ' x 1 *— Kane Hichinond “THE SILENT CODE” Wm.

Rogers Has Fast-Moving Stage Show Buddy Works Hard to Make Offering at Lyric Please Patrons. BY JAMES THRASHER Evidently Buddy Rogers doesn’t want to be taken at "face value.* As headliner of the Lyric's stage show this week, the handsome movie star works as hard as if he never had attracted thousands of admiring feminine fans by the powers of personality and profile. The result of his efforts is an entertaining, fast-movmg show, in which Buddy modestly gives most of the spotlight to Marty May, Jeannie Lang. Ruthie Barnes and the boys’ band. Miss Lang, in a brief appearance, does a couple of cute songs and a popular medley with Mr. R*ogers. Looking not much larger than Shirley Temple, the pint-size songstress does her turn with an engaging vivacity that was much to the liking of yesterday’s audience. But the young lady who nearly steals the show is tap-dancing Ruthie Barnes. She's good, and she would have to be in this day and age when hoofers are still more plentiful than "amateurs.” Marty May, the popular radio comedian, has an amusing assortment of patter and music, best of which is his imitation of a prima donna and an off-key fiddle solo. On the screen. Johnny Downes runs into a peck of mother-in-law trouble in “The First Baby.” Marjorie Gateson is the objecting parent of Johnny’s bride, played by Shirley Deane. EAST SIDt - . 40211 E.
