| LAVISHNESS IS THE BASIS FOR MARCUS STAGE SHOW SUCCESS

{\ Cast of 60 ~ Will Play in

Revue Here

Feminine Beauty Presented, But Scenic Effects Are Featured.

By JAMES THRASHER Apparently “lavish” again is the word for the Marcus shows, the latest of ‘which, called “Revue Coniinental,” comes to the Lyric stage for

. a week beginning Friday.

If you don’t know the Marcus shows, it is no fault of the producer or theater owners. For they have been around and around the world for the past 30 years, glorifying the American girl in their own inimitable manner. The present edition calls for 60 performers and two carloads of scenery, lighting equipment, costumes and properties. Those conversant’ with the Marcus brand of elaborate spectacle may pay more attention to the baggage cars than to the cast. These shows usully have a way of playing up the production's “big moments.” So this year we are to see no less than .a dozen numbers of “colorful and opulent magnificence.” as Mr. Marcus’ advance agent 1nodesty has put it.

Cast Is Listed * In case you are interested in the

“human element, the cast will include,

Leon Miller, comedy dancer; Harold Boyd and Jigsaw§, acrobats; Sharon DeVries, singer; Fid Gordon, violin comedian; Mickey King, aerialist: the Belfords, who hold forth upon a teeter-board; Sofia Alvarez, who was picked up by the troupe during a recent Mexico City engagement; Ha Cha San, contortionist, and on down through the 60 members, inciuding 30 ladies of the ensemble. Thiss by the way, is positively your last chance, folks, to see the Marcus revue before it sails for its second tour of China and Japan in Apiil Their first Oriental junket was in the nature of a noble experiment to prove that you can dish up a good. fast girl show anywhere and the world will take it, native pigment, physique and religion notwithstanding. In fact, we are lucky to have the Marcuses back in this country at all. Far Easterners liked the show so well that it had to stretch out their engagements in every city. They played Tokyo for eight weeks, and overstayed their original bookings in Shanghai, Hong Kong. Cantdn, Manila, Singapore and Osaka.

Oland Enjoys Steady Job

While in the Orient, we might remark that Warner Oland, currently on the Lyric screen in “Charlie Chan at the Opera.” has: signed with 20th Century-Fox for 10 more screen versions of the Chinese sleuth’s adventures. The Lyric’s film is No. 13 in the series so, of course. they couldn’t stop there. It all started back in 1931 when Earl Derr Biggers conceived the now famous character while visiting in Honolulu. Some 20 actors were tested for the title role of Mr. Biggers’ script. Mr. Oland, a Swedish-born Bostonian, won in a walk. Since then he has appeared in, few pictures outside the Char series. Four or five months usually are spent in de" sing the plot and script for these pictures which already have had the proverb-quoting detective solving crimes in Egypt, London, Paris, Shanghai, at the circus, race track and opera. Next will be “Charlie Chan at the Olympic Games.”

Credits Script for Success

Mr. Oland modestly attributes most of his success to the stories. “I was quite surprised, though,” the actor is quoted as saying, “at the large number of admirers I

. found on a recent trip to China and

Japan. “The high point of flattery was reached in Shanghai, where a Chi-

‘nese actor imitated my character-

ization of a Chinese detective.”

OWN PICTURE FOOLS HORTON

Times Special HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 12.—Edward Everett Horton plays not only himeelf but his late lamented uncle in “Let's Make a Million.” The famous comedian, learning that he needed a picture of a purely fictitious uncle Ezra for the proSitio, posed for the portrait himself. He emerged with frightened side whiskers, a cap which held down his luxurious. locks and erough wrinkles to make him look 80 years old. On seeing the picture he didn’t believe it himself.

LON CHANEY'S SON GIVEN CONTRACT

By United Press HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 12. —Attempts to capitalize on the name of the late Lon Chaney today led 20th Century-Fox to sign the horror man’s son to a long-term film contract.

a copy of “Gone With the Wind” under her arm. “You only have to read the first paragraph of the preface to this book to know that I am the woman Margaret Mitchell wrote about,” persistett Miss Davidson. The agent who only books celebrities who receive salaries of $2000 a week or more, squared off. “Listen, sister, I don't know who you are or what you've ever done on the stage or screen, but get this straight. David Selznick has already tested Tallulah Bankhead for Scarlett O'Hara. He'll test nearly every star in Hollywood before he is through. His Eastern representative is making the rounds of colleges, Junior League parties and church affairs, now—trying to find a girl who looks like a saint and devil in one, They'll probably test a couple hundred girls and then select a star —a hig one—who can’t go wrong in the part. You're wasting your time —run along and forget it.” The green eyes of Miss Davidson flashed fire. She brushed her black hair back from her forehead. She leaned over the desk and looked the surprised agent in the eye. “And you may get this straight. I was brought up in the same part of the South in which Miss Mitchell set her story. Those traditions of which she writes are mine. I may look young bt I have lived the life of Scarlett O’'Hara—there has been a Rhett Butler, an Ashley Wilkes, in my own story. I can be kad and good. I speak with a Southern accept. I photograph well because I have unusual I've never appeared on the screen—no one knows me in Hollywood but I came here to play the part of Scarlett O'Hara. Let them test 10,000 women—just so. I am one of them—and I'll get it. One year from today you will be sorry you didn’t get my name on a contract. There is my card—GOODBY.” The agent's eyes popped. He grabbed the phone and called the Selznick Studios. “Yes,” he yelled into the phone, “I'm sending you a wild cat——a girl with green eyes ond a temper. Either she's Scarlett O'Hara or a damn good actress.”

Mix Considers Return to Films

Ey United Press HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 12.—Tom Mix, after an absence of two years, is planning a return to the scrzen for a few starring roles in Western pictures prior to starting a summer tour with his circus. The pioneer Western star today reported he has received offers from several studios and also one from a group of Buenos Aires businessmen who want to finance a series of pictures glorifying the South American guacho. Mr. Mix has not yet decided which of the offers he will accept. He hopes to complete oné or two pictures before April 15, when’ he starts his circus tour. Mr. Mix recently purchased a large group of animals from Ken Maynard, another Western actor, who also owns a circus.

OLLYWOOD, Jan. 12. (NEA)— So rigid is the ban on the Windsor-Mrs. Simpson theme that Harold Lloyd has abandoned a story in which he, as a comic commoner, would have married a princess! there's a British-made picture, currently being shown in this country, titled “Love in Exile.” And Warner Brothers are going ahead with the production of “The King and the Chorus Girl,” which is not a parallel, but is suggestive in title. Also, David Selznick has hired Ronald Colman for “The Prisoner of Zenda.” in which a mythical monarch does a bit of abdicating.

u S. Players Overact in New Farce

‘Mad Hopes' Should Be Done as Sophisticated Piece, but Isn't.

Farce—of the Federal Players variety—holds the boards at Keith's this week, where Romney Brent's “Mad Hopes”

is being presented.

If you saw and liked “Tamed and How,” you will like the present comedy. And if you saw the former opus, you will know that farce, as presented by the local company, means exaggerated characterizations of the comic strip variety. : The trouble this week is that the play could and should be done as a “sophisticated piece. Mrs. Hope, the central. figure, is somewhat akin to Leonie Frothingham whom we saw played by Ina Claire in “End of Summer” at English’s a month ago. The relationship, however, is implied in the lines, not evident in the performance. Mrs. Hope possesses two vapid sons, Hilton and Claude, and a sensible daughter, Geneva. She also possesses a chateau on the Riviera and, as the curtain rises, a family fortune of 15 francs. She is one of these fluttery and scatter-brained ladies, extravagant and unable to pin herself to reality.

A Rescuer Arrives

Thy Hove family seems about ‘to go off the deep end when Henry Frost, an American friend of Claude's arrives. Through the next two acts he does a nice job of patching up things. He interests a Maurice Klein in the property, and Mr. Kiein interests himself in Mrs. Hope. After several wrong tacks, Mr. lady, meanwhile patching up one of Mrs. Hope's ancient quarrels. Henry saves Geneva from a loveless marriage with a wealthy French count. All, in fact, seem destined to live happily ever after. The players include C'Mari de Schipper as Mrs. Hope; Frederic Winter as Henry; Hal Hawkes, Geoffrey Power and Alice Arnold as the Hope children and Jack Duval as Klein. Best jobs are done by Miss Arnold and Messrs. Winter and Duval.

Farce Has Its Place

To return momentarily .to our original thesis, we might dispel any thought that we are finding fault with farce for a high-brow reason. It's all right in its place for those who like it—and most of us -do. What we do object to is the taking of an amusing and rather smart drawing room comedy and distorting it beyond endurance. Drama, carefully and seriously done (and comedy, needless to say, needs serious preparation), isn'v “over the heads” of the general public. The triumph of Walt Disney over slipshod two-reel comedies is indication that the public taste in comedy has changed and improved. If longer preparation is what, the Federals need, then we voice our small but ardent plea for a return But deliver us from further offerings like the last three weeks’. (By:J. Q. T.

Lloyd Gargles, But Not for Fun

When she recovered, each of the three Lloyd children was stricken. Finally his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. J.

Chinese Goye

rnment War ovies Invoked

Against Movi

By United Press

SHANGHAI, Jan. 12.—China has declared wa:

on motion pictures

regarded as insulting to the nation or disrespectful to its people. The government's recent dispute with Paramou it Pictures over “The General Died at Dawn” was only an incidental m¢ nifestation of a program which has for its aim the total suppression, in ll parts of the world,

of ny pictures deemed offensive to®

China. That the program has teeth in it was demonstrated by the “sanctions” which it is proposed to invoke—any motion picture company which refuses to comply will have all its films banned throughout China.

Five Agencies Interested

Five agencies of the Chinese government and its ruling party, the Kuomintang, are enlisted in the campaign: The Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Interior and Education, the Motion Picture Censorship Board and the Central Publicity Council of the Kuomintang. Although the dispute over “The General Died at Dawn” received wide publicity because China de-

manded the withdrawal of the film

after it had been shown in many parts of the world, the bias of the Chinese government against pictures believed to ridicule or discredit the Chinese people is one of several years’ standing. In 1936 Chinese groups profested against “Sfanghai Express,” but the movement -lacked unity and direction, and made no headway. Later, the showing of a Harold Lloyd comedy with some Chinese sequencés brought a sharp protest from China and a nearboycott of Lloyd films which resulted in apologies from the comedian himself as well as the studio, and the deletion of the offending scenes.

“Chu Chin Chow” Banned

“Chu Chin Chow,” old-time musical comedy stand-by was banned in China, but no effort was made to regulate its showing in other countries. The picture. titled “Shanghai” was never brought to China, as the chances .of its passing the censorship board were nil This year Mae West's “Klondike Annie” was passed by the censors and exhibited in China but the early scenes showing a Chinese as the heroine's lover, and his subsequent death, had been cut out of the picture before the censors viewed it. Later, it was learned that the picture was being shown elsewhere in the world in a different form, and demand for its world wide suppress sion was made. Makers of the film agreed to suitable cuts. Making of “The Good Earth,” marked the first positive effort to modify China pictures in the production stage. Gen. Tu Ting-hsiy, known in‘ America as Gen. Theodore Tu, was sent to Hollywood as adviser to the producers. While there he was asked to pass on “The General Died at Dawn,” and on the

Pianist Wins Acclaim on

Tour of U.S.

Poldi Mildner's Concert Here Is Moved Up to Next Sunday.

Enthusiastic press notices already are heralding the local appearance of Poldi Mildner, young Viennese pianist, at Cadle Tabernacle Sune day afternoon. Miss Mildner, opened her present American tour in New York last week, again winning acclaim for her technical prowess. She will appear here under the Indianapolis Concert Guild's auspices. Sunday’s concert originally was to have been given by Marian Anderson, distinguished Negro contraito. However, Miss Anderson was striken ill in Paris in the course of a European tour and was unable to return to this country to fill her Jaruary engagements. She is to appear here in March on the date originalaly set for Miss Mildner’s recital. This young pianist's career is another instance of the triumph of talent over parental objection. She began playing the piano at the age of three and began her serious study with her aunt. By the time she had made her first public appearance at 11, her father’s objections to her concert career were evaporating. Miss Mildner toured Holland, France, Switzerland and Rumania before coming to the United States at the cage of 17. When she arrived here immigration authorities were reluctant to admit her, doubting that fhe slight youngster could be a professional pianist. Poldi, however, rushed to a nears by piano in a storm of indignation so the story goes—and proceeded to demonstrate her ability in a Chopin Polonaise to the satisfaction of all concerned.
