Indiana Closes for Summer Tomorrow: Director King Stops at Airport Here

By JAMES THRASHER

THE INDIANA and its manager, Kenneth T. Collins, will zet. their annual summer vacation beginning tomorrow. The state’ s largest theater is scheduled for an early fall reopening. With the Apollo already shut down indefinitely, this leaves Indianapolis with only three firstrun houses—a new low in local cinema dispensing. Questioned as to why the neo-Alhambra of W. Washington St. was

closing, and the length of time it would be shut, Manager Collins Animated that he didn’t make the decisions, he Just Worked there.

HENRY KING, alot air-minded of Hollywood's megaphoners, flew in to Municipal Airport yesterday from Troy, O., where he had bought $20,000 worth of new airplane. He wasn’t piloting the new ship, however, since it isn't quite ready. Mr. King recently finished a technicolor film called “Maryland”—just “entertainment, noth ing serious or depressing,” says Mr. King. Since then he's been Vacationing in Florida with no definite movie in mind for the near future. Mr. King has been flying off and on ever since World War days, when he was in the Air Corps, but didn’t get into any actual fighting. The new ship is his seventh or eighth, he doesn’ t know which. He says he’s been running away from war talk, but did have a word or two in explanation of the vast number of pilots that Germany has. Germans learn to fly in government gliders under government

instruction, the director said. And when a man wants to buy a plane the government makes half the down-payment. Conversely, he cited the example of his own recent purchase. By the time he had paid state, county, city and sales taxes on the new ship, Mr. King said he had spoiled $10,000 in addition to the purchase price. This, he thought, wasn't conducive to developing civilian pilots. But, he added, if they took the tax off airplanes, a few thousand other industries would want to know why taxes on their products couldn't be lifted, too. That’s the part of the problem that stumps Mr. King. As for war pictures, Mr. King knows just how he’d make one— only he won’t make it. “I wouldn’t touch a war picture with a 10-foot pole,” he announced. But in the hypothetical event’ that he did, he would assume a Nazi victory, devote two reels to the end of the war and the other five to the aftermath. And he would treat the subject with the light but devastating touch used on the U. S. S. R. in Miss Garbo’s “Ninotchka.” Even if it was made by a rival studio, the 20th Century-Fox director thinks “Ninotchka” was quite a picture. ” ”» ” THE SEVEN DAYS beginning tomorrow have been designated as “laugh week” by Ward Farrar, Loew’s manager. - Not a national . movement or anything, just Mr. Farrar's own idea. All this on account of “Turnabout,” another zany production from the delightfully - addled pate of the late Thorne Smith. A look at the pictures to your right will give you an idea of what it’s all about.

IF WHAT THEY SAY about animals’ dramatic thievery is true, Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard at the Circle, and the principals of Loew’s comedy will have to be on their toes, lest the added starters on the double bills carry

" Eater,” which is the simple story

of two little boys and the ‘runt”

dog which they trained to be a

champion. The picture was filmed in Georgia on an unpretentious scale. I don’t know what sort of business it has been doing, but critics have been whooping its praises from all corners of the country. « “Florian” is Loew’s second feature. The title part is taken by a Lippizan stallion, one of the Austrian breed of cavalry horses which are born black, turn gray, then silver and finally emerge a snow white at about their fourth year. » ” ” MASTER SHAKESPEARE, as every schoolboy is aware, once remarked that “one man in his life plays many parts.” But Shakes-

peare hadn't counted on Hugh Herbert. In one vehicle, the title of which escapes me, Mr. Herbert, played four members of a family called Hammerschlag. But in the Lyric’s “La Conga Nights,” %hich opens tomorow, he leaps all protean bounds. We are:assured that Mr. Herbert will be seen not only as a millionaire named Henry I. Dibble Jr. but also as Junior's eccentric grandfather, as Mrs. Henry I. Dibble Sr., and as Junior’s four eccentric sisters, the Misses Faith, Hope, Charity and Prudence Dibble. Seven, count ‘em, seven! ” ” ” (e . IF YOU SAW Loew’s bill last week you scarcely could have helped noticing that the short subject, “The Flag Speaks,” avoided the obvious by omitting “The Star Spangled Banner” from the musical score.. As a “theme song” the producers used “America the Beautiful.” Maybe the high F in the national anthem frightened them off.
