Circle

In his widely admired novel, “The Citadel, “Dr. A. J. Cronin addressed some of his medical brethren with a sharp scalpel, and without benefit of anesthetic. However he has dealt} much more gently with the nursing profession, which is the central consideration of ‘Vigil in the Night,” subject for the Circle's current attraction. It has been said, upon occasion, that the medical profession is not inclined to view nurses with particular compassion. True or not, it does not apply to Dr. Cronin, His story is sympathetic and understanding, and it is admirably performed by a cast headed by Carole Lombard, Brian Aherne and Anne Shirley. Apparently Miss Lombard is in

the. third phase of a career which

began with sirens and continued with light comedy parts. As a dramatic actress in the current film she hrings earnestness and conviction to a role almost unrelieved by the lighter touches in which she excels. As Anne Lee, an English nurse, Miss Lombard’s present dramatic existence is clouded by a series of Jnisunderstandings. Having per'suaded her young sister, Lucy, to enter training, Amne takes the blame when Lucy's neglect causes a child to die of diphtheria. Forced to resign, she takes a job in a Manchester hospital. _ again she is forced to resign because a boorish' leading citizen makes unwelcome advances and his wife threatens a public scandal. To complicate matters, Lucy takes a job in a shady nursing home where patients are provided with narcotics. Anne’s friend, Dr. Prescott, comes to the rescue in court and Lucy is exonerated. The sister returns to the Manchester hospital and volunteers to nurse victims of a virulent epidemic. ON When the wealthy man who had caused her earlier dismissal refuses funds, Anne orders necessary suprlies anyway. At the moment the man is threatening prosecution, his small son is brought to the hospital, a victim of the epidemic disease. Lucy contracts the disease in caring for the child and dies a few days later. But the Manchester. father is chastened and - grateful, and pays the hospital bill.. At the fade-out Dr. Prescott and Anne are starting up the corridor to care for victims of a mine disaster. The audience may hope that the two will find time for a happier life together. “vigil in the Night” might conceivably have become dreary and doleful under less expert handling. But George Stevens’ direction avoids at all times the maudlin and melodramatic. It's a worthy picture and a welcome one. It goes without saying that the suave and competent Mr. Aherne is an ornament to the cast. Fresher news is that of Miss Shirley’s performance. Usually lost as “romantic interest” among the B pictures, the slender blond actress makes the most of one of her infrequent opportunities. Few of the supporting cast may be familiar to movie-goers, but their work is impressive. There is a good comedy performance by Rita Page. And it might be added that her rejuvenation anecdote must have passed the Hays office in a parade, as Variety once remarked. A pleasant little domestic comedy called “Married and in Love,” completes the Circle bill. Alan Marshall, Barbara Read, Patric Knowles and Helen Vinson make up the fea tured: mixed doubles.—J. T.

‘Greene carries under his

first stage appearance here in 13 years. He sings all the songs that accompanied him on his climb up the movie ladder of success., Oldtimers who had seen him when he started at the Ohio Theater before going to the Indiana and then the Circle, said he'd gone a long way from the “hesitant, frightened kid” that sang there. Dick is a big fellow, huskier than he looks in the movies. The girls who saw the show were heard to whisper, “and so handsome, too.” He plays the saxophone "and trumpet with Ed Resener’s band on the stage. Mr. Resener conducts the pit orchestra at the Lyric and was a co-performer of Dick's when he was increasing heartbeats on stages

up spot on the six-act bill that runs well over an hour. Also on the program “are the Fauldy Troupe, acrobats whose piece de resistance is a backward jump from a springboard to the shoulders of the top man in a three-man line—bindfolded. Other acts include Al and Bernice Maison with a dog act, Cookie Bowers in impersonations and pantomine, and the Biltmorettes, three girls dancing. The movie is called “The Return of Dr. X,” said return concerning the journey of an electrocuted doctor back from the dead. He is resurrected by anoth® doctor who has almost hit upon a formula for synthetic blood and needs him for further experiments. The mystery is built around the death and amazing reappearance of an actress. Wayne Morris as a re-porter-slueth is Wayne Morris all the way through. Humphrey Bogart plays the resurrected doctor and Dennis Morgan and John Litel are good. Rosemary Lane plays a small role in a very pretty way.— H M :

‘Indiana

“Little Old New York” is a good rip-roaring tale of heroes and villains, New York shipyards and port taverns and through it all is the story of the building of the first successful river steamboat by Robert Fulton. Robert Fulton is played in a thrilling manner by Richard Greene, who picked up his English accent this time in London between transAtlantic passages. The\movie takes advantage of all the old\standbys that build up extreme isfaction on the part of the spectators when the hero finally comes home with the bacon. ~The bacon in this case is a sidewheeler, a model of which "Mr. arm through most of the early portions of the movie. Arriving in New York from London, where he has arranged to have a boiler built for his “fantastic” ship. he is jounced around by most of the harbor toughs and laughed at’by the rest. His definition of a friend would be “someone who will listen to me, even if he knows I'm crazy. ”» He makes friends with a dreaming barmaid of the chin-chucking variety. She keeps up his courage and he is oblivious of her as a man with a full stomach is of a hot. dog. » By hook and finally by crook— Barmaid Alice Faye sells rum that isn’t hers—money is obtained to build the ship. The toughs, who can’t take it. incite the sailors to burn the ship. They tell them all their jobs will be lost. The final blow seems to be the telling one. Thomas Jefferson signs an embargo act that keeps the engine from England out of the. country. Here Mr, Fulton and his friends turn embargo-runners. They get the engine, it's installed and the ship works. All (his time Mr. Greene has had time to declare his love to Brenda Joyce, the beautiful niece of his benefactor, Chancellor Livingstone. Of course, when the ship works there’s nothing to. do but bind the pact. So they do. There are some good touches in the picture. In the first place the set looks like I imagine little old New York must have looked. You get an impression of lots of commerce, not much finesse, and plenty of money going around. There's a Roosevelt in the .picture. He looks like our Mr. Roosevelt and he says of a statesman in the picture: “He’s far too radical.” Good gag! Mr. Fulton meeting the niece for the first time: “Miss Livingstone—I presume?” To complete the Indiana bill, the Jones Family continues its home spun adventures in a film called young as You Feel.”—H.

That Mr. Johnson has sustained the interest beyond what might be a logical stopping place is. proof enough of his dramaturgic talent. Each character is human and believable, rather than the vehicle for the wriler’s abstract concept. Harriet is by no means the complete demon, nor is Paula the spotless heroine.

‘It's Same Old Town,’ Tells Them.

Dick Powell was welcomed back to Indianapolis at the Variety Club yesterday in typical Hollywood style. More than . 150 persons— many of them members of Charley Davis’ orchestra that Dick played with 13 years ago—were there. Dick sat at the head of the table, much larger than he looks in the movies, extremely gracious and very loquacious. He was glad to be back. He was glad to see Ed Resener, who used to lead the band at the Ohio Theater when Dick was break« ing in. He renewed acquaintauce with Reagan Carey, Carl Van de Walle, Fritz Morris and Ralph Wile lard, all of whom he played with when he was here in the late Twenties. He talked to Dessa Byrd, who played the organ at the Indie ana while he sang. It’s the Same Town Dick said there were two things that assured him Indianapolis was the same old place: The Plaza Hotel was still at 231 N. Capitol Ave. and Riverside Amusement Park was still operating. “It’s the same old town,” he said, “I've been here once, between aire planes, since 1 left the Circle Theater, and Indianapolis hasn’t changed a bit.” The people at the luncheon agreed, as they looked at Mr, Powell’s beaming face, that he is the same old Dick. A Show on the House Mr. Powell, you may know, is mixing business with pleasure dure ing his visit here. He had to break up the luncheon to appear at the Lyric Theater, where he features a stage show this week. After the luncheon everyone there was invited by the Lyric managee ment to go down and see the show —on the house. They gave him & marvelous ovation. He was Indiane: apolis’ boy. He’d made good.
