‘OLD SALTS" EARN
"AIDA" 10 OPEN
Vets Act as Advisers in
Sea Scenes
Eile Due at Apollo Stars,
hrs Baxter and Wallace Beery.
Retired sailors are sup.posed to spend their declining years in a rocking chair, swapping yarns with a few cronies. But out in Wilmington, Cal., near Los Angeles, is a colony of 50 old salts who live no such idle existence. They are, in fact, movie actors.
You may catch a glimpse of them in “Slave- Ship,” which comes to the Apollo Friday. For these old seamen are veterans of the “wooden ships and iron men” days of navigation, and their services are valuable and necessary in pictures
calling for schooners, barks, frigates
and the like. Close-up scenes on shipboard, which are filmed in the studios, na-
turally call on the regular actors.
But when the script calls for shots of a sailing ship under way, that’s where the oldsters come in. They mix in with the younger players, see that the sails, sheets, yards and other elements of rigging are shipshape, and get things running in proper and seamanlike fashion.
Earn Specialists’ Salaries
The retired salts don’t have very steady employment, for studios are not making such things as ‘Slave Ship,” “Captains Courageous,” “Mutiny on the Bounty” and “Captain Blood” every day. But when they do work, they get the regular salary paid to specialists and technical advisers, which is a tidy sum. So the graduates of an almost forgotten school of nautical science piece out their savings with movie windfalls, and do very well in the process. It is scarcely necessary to send out a call for these old sailors, for they keep a weather eye. on the Wilmington harbor, where most of the studio’s ancient ships are anchored. As soon as & technical crew comes down for some preliminary surveys, the resident actors scuttle around with offers of their services.
Ships Often Refitted
These studio relics of the sailing era are preserved by picture makers to fill their scenic needs. Kept sound and seaworthy, they frequently are refitted to suit the requirements of a new script. So a four-mast schooner can be fitted up as a full-rigged ship, or as a bark such as will be seen in the coming Apollo picture. “Slave Ship” is adapted from Dr. George S. King's story, “The Last Slaver.” Tt tells of the closing days of slave importation from Africa to the United States, shortly before the Civil War. Warner Baxter and Wallace Beery are featured players and the supporting cast is headed by Elizabeth Allan and Mickey Rooney.

Cecilia Parker is keeping her fingers crossed in hoping for sunny weather. The actress has just rented a trailer in which to live a‘ Malibu Beach for three weeks.

Calloway to Bring Band And Novelty Revue, Ted Nicholas Says.
Cab Calloway, Harlem’s famous howling dervish, will bring his band and a new revue to the Lyric for the week beginning July 2, Manager Ted Nicholas anno unce d
today.
This will be Cab’s first appearance on the Lyric stage and his first visit to Indianapolis since he played Loew’s a couple of seasons ago. For his present show he is featuring, besides his orchestra, Avis Andrews, singer; Evelyn Keyes, tap dancer, and his Tramp Band, a group of novelty instrumentalists whom he is said to have discovered playing on a New York street corner.
Unlike many orchestra leaders, Cab made a name for himself with his now-famous “Hi-de-ho” singing and master of ceremonies in Chicago night clubs and theaters, then scored as the star of a revue called “Hot Chocolates.” Since then he and his orchestra have won national radio fame in broadcasts from the Cotton Club, New York. On the same bill the Lyric has booked “Wings Over Honolulu”: as its picture attraction. Wendy Barrie, Ray Milland, Kent Taylor and William Gargan head the cast. Preceding “Calloway Week,” the local vaudeville emporium will show “Another Dawn,” featuring Kay Francis, Errol Flynn and Ian Hunter, and a stage show headlining Valentine Vox and Emily Walters, comedy ventriloquists.

IN ‘SLAVE SHIP’
Unperturbed Times Special HOLLYWOOD, June 23. While a bridge exploded, shrapnel burst, the walls of an inn caved in, Allan Jones lay wounded and Jeanette MacDonald frantically called to him, Midnight, pet cat of the “Firefly” troupe, decided the time had come for a blessed event. A cat and three kittens were discovered where there had been only a cat a few minutes before. Two of the kittens are black and white, the other a tawny yellow. The company immediately christened the three additions Jeanette, Allan and Warren, the last-named after Warren William, who completes the trio of principals in the film.

By United Press LOS ANGELES, June 23.—Curlyhaired Freddie Bartholomew and his $1200-a-week movie earnings were embroiled again today in a court battle between his parents and his “Aunt Cissie,” who watches over his film career. Lawyers for Miss Myllicent Bartholomew came into court late yes-
asked to have the peace settlement annulled on ground that the judge
| who approved it lacked jurisdiction.
The peace settlement that Miss Bartholomew's attorneys attacked had given Freddie's custody to his aunt, but part of his salary went to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Llewelyn Bartholomew, and his sise ters, Eileen, 16, and Hilda, 14.
