Circle
The new model of the DeMille ‘Epic is on display at the Circle this week. It has a shiny new paint job and improved performance. It also has approximately the same lines and mechanical details with which DeMille models have been making the grade since the producer put his first one-cylinder bathtub on the market about 25 years ago. Since there have been few complaints from purchasers of the Epic in years past, there is little reason to doubt that the public is going to buy and enjoy “North West Mounted Police,” the 1941 job, just as it has the others. Mr. DeMille (it’s Cecil B. we're talking about, if you had any doubts), knows all the tricks of his Epic-making trade. Before you go to see one of his pictures, you know there will be a fist fight or two and at least one pitched battle between the armed forces of good and evil. You know that the men folk are going to be brave in battle but bashful in love, and that both the villain and the heroine are going to be addressed in tight-lipped monosylla- * bles. In short, you know that Mr. DeMille’s cinema world is one in which six-guns speak louder than actors. For the present purposes, then, it is enough to say, that ‘North West Mounted Police” tells how the Mounties put down ‘a threatened revolt of the half-breeds, who are trying to enlist the Cree Indians on their side. Preston Foster leads the Mounties, and he in turn is aided by a Texas Ranger in the person of Gary Cooper. Both are chasing the same villain (George Bancroft), and courting the same girl (Made‘leine Carroll). Then, too, there is comic relief provided by Akim Tamiroff, a kindly but misguided half-breed, and Lynne Overman, who plays the super-Scotch McDuff with all the glottal stops pulled out. : All this ‘and Paulette Goddard, too, mind you. The seductive Miss Goddard calls up nostalgic memories of Mr. DeMille’s bathtub era with her performance of the Indian girl Louvette, whose heart ‘she brak wit’ loff” for Robert Preston. Putting these ingredients on the { assembly line, Mr. DeMille once again has turned out a deluxe product. There's a tightness of narrative and an impact of climax which make one forget that all this has happened before. Mass effects and fast action are used as tellingly as ever. And the-color photography is sumptous, no less. "The setting of the story is 1885, and most of the dialogue might have been cribbed out of the popular plays of that day. But corny, stilted and obvious speeches don’t disturb Mr. DeMille’s pedce of mind. He knows that most of the audience will be waiting anxiously to see if the reinforcements will come over the hill in the nick of time, and probably won't be listening
anyway.—J. T.
“Krazy Kat” On Program
Symphony to Open New Season Next Week.
A varied program, ranging from Beethoven to “Krazy Kat,” has been arranged by Fabien Sevitzky for the opening pair of subscription concerts by the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra next Friday afternoon and Saturday evening at the Murat: A fanfare by Arcady Dubensky and “The Star-Spangled Banner” will open the program, after which a performance of the Beethoven “mroica” Symphony will bring the program to the intermission. In the last half the audiences aré to hear the first presentation anywhere of the revised version of John Alden Carpenter's “Krazy Kat,” subtitled “A Jazz Pantomime.” Next will come the first Indianapolis performance of Ravel's Rhapsodie Espagnole, and, in conclusion, three excerpts from Berlioz’ «The Damnation of Faust”; Dance of the Spirits, Dance of the Sylphs and the Rakoczy March. Mr. Carpenter completed the revision of his “Krazy Kat” score, first performed nearly 20 years ago, only this summer, and has accorded Mr. Sevitzky the privilege of jts first performance. Pranklin Miner, the orchestra’s manager, has announced that season tickets are still available, but that veservationsy for either of the coming week-en 's concerts must be made immediately.

° Lyric There are on display at the Lyric this week three great ad libbers— John Barrymore, Russ Morgan and Bob Hall. Mr. Barrymore has long been noted as a master of the droll aside. More widely since his stage appearance in “My Dear Children” which panicked New York, Chicago and the road and is said to be the inspiration for his current Lyric film, “The Great Profile.” Mr. Hall, too, holds a well-aged reputation in vaudeville circles for his ability to whip together more than passable rhymes from newsworthy names and events shouted at him by the audience. Only the young among yeu will not have seen Mr. Hall here on previous occasions. But that Mr. Morgan should excel at the sometimes not too gentle art of spontaneous repartee is a surprise, albeit pleasant. Mr. Morgan has been called “the best equipped of modern dance musicians” so to find him at the same time a quick wit is like hitting the jackpot. He had a splendid chance to demonstrate his proficiency with the well-turned and well-timed phrase at yesterday’s first show and he acquitted himself handsomely. His opportunity came about because of the difficulties of the Six Skating Marvels, an all-girl ensemble which leads off the show. Someone had fastened the girls’ skating mat far forward on the stage, leaving them too little room for sudden stops. The -girls, applying the brakes, found themselves entangled with the fiddle sections’ stands and sheet music. Had this happened once it probably would have passed without comment and little audience reaction. But it occurred again and again until the violinists were thoroughly disrupted and Maestro Morgan was distraught no end. If the girls had limited themselves to the easier skating tricks they might have escaped these difficulties but they doggedly shot the works. The audience acclaimed them. Mr. Morgan turned the whole situation onto himself and his 17 bandsmen and for the rest of the show carried on in the same tenor to the delight of the customers. From this you might think that the “Music in the Morgan Manner” had been relegated to a gallery seat. On the contrary it occupies a position near front row center. And it is the type and quality of music you would expect from a man who has been orchestrator for Victor Herbert and John Philip Sousa and music director of Brunswick Records. It is music of warmth and body, created from excellent saxophone, violin and trombone choirs. The men primarily are musicians, secondly dance orchestra members. Part and parcel of the band are Paul Roberts, a young, dark chap with a football physique and a belllike: tenor for such tunes as “If I Knew Then,” and “The Nearness of You,” and a torchy, petite brunet whose songs and gown are of red velvet. The customers also liked Jana, the orchestra’s caricaturist; the Mulcays, a girl and boy harmonica team who do double and triple tongue variations in “Carnival of Venice”; and the fine baritone of Paul Krause, winner of the Indiana Talent Parade over WFBM last Sunday. Mr. Barrymore's “Great Profile” is ham at its hammiest and thereby Barrymore at his funniest. He mugs a la Mickey Rooney, cavorts, snorts, puffs and blows and romps through the film with all stops open and the volume set LOUD. His supporting cast has been checked by Director Walter Lang so that Barrymore's overstatement is tempered to an exact degrée. Good are Mary Beth Hughes as Barrymore's estranged wife, Gregory Ratoff as his manager, Anne Baxter as the novice playwright whose “drahma” is ridiculed into the hit class.—D. M.
Radio Party for Show's Birthday
Times Special
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.—“Life With Father” rounds out a year on Broadway tonight, and something new in birthday celebrations is planned. It will be a radio party, with the New ' York, Chicago and Boston companies participating. First the Chicago troupe, headed by Lillian Gish and Percy Waram, will call the Civic Repertory Theater in Boston, where Dorothy Gish, Louis Calhern and another company are playing. Then a three-way hookup will connect them with the New York company. Howard Lindsay and Russell Crouse, who prepared the Clarence Day stories for the stage, have written a special sketch for the birthday broadcast. And Mr. Lindsay and his wife, Dorothy Stickney, stars of the New York company, will take part. " Drama critics of the three. cities
3 also will be heard on the program,
not only by radio listeners, but by the three theater audiences via pub-
"lic address systems.
ST. CECELIA CLUB WILL GIVE PLAY
A mystery-melodrama, “Rope,” will be given by the St. Cecelia Dramatic Club of Sacred Heart Church at 8:15 p. m. tomorrow in their auditorium at 1500 Union St. Cast members include Joseph Lawrie, George Lauck, Francis Burkhardt, Thelma Springman, Gabriella Meyer, Paul Williams, Joseph Stahl and Norbert Brinkmann. The play was directed by Charles Williams. :

Second Wife Sues
Lowe for Divorce
HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 9 (U. P.).— Edmund Lowe, veteran motion picture actor, was sued for divorce yesterday by his second wife, Mrs. Rita K. Lowe, who charged him with being a “loveless and unfaithful husband.” h Mrs. Lowe charged that the actor had been “loveless in his attitude® toward her, captious, hypercritical and had bestowed at{entions on other women in such a manner and in such an intent, that it subjected her to public ridicule.” She demanded an unstated amount of alimony and division of some $500,000 of community property. Mr. Lowe was formerly married to actress Lilyan Tashman, who died several years ago.

"Petrified Forest' Provides an Engrossing Evening at Civic
Most of us saw “The Petrified the screen version followed the play closely, this production may, for practical purposes, be classed as a revival. This business of another look, it might be added, is one of the few dramatic advantages we have over Broadway. For, in spite of “Kind Lady,” which is now flourishing in a resurrection, Broadway doesn't spend much time reviving the works of its contemporaries. . Apart from the pleasure of the moment, it is interesting to go back and view the earlier days of such a man as Mr. Sherwood in the light of his artistic evolution. For instance, “The Petrified Forest” contains an | underlying idea which we shall see developed in “There Shall Be No Night,” which comes to English’s next month. And we discover that both the germ and technique of Maxwell Anderson’s “Key Largo” are contained in “The Petrified Forest.”
” ” 8 BUT THIS piece is veering toward an essay, when it should be a report of what went on at the
Civic opening last evening. I went there prepared for a| disappointment after last month’s splendid production, “Of Thee I Sing.” For one thing, less than two weeks elapsed between the closing of that play and| the opening of this one. Also, it seemed overly optimistic to hope that amateurs, even with more time at their disposal, could maintain the high standard that they had set. Well, maybe they won't all year. ‘But this second production is a genuinely admirable land satisfying one. The cast is made up largely of seasoned players. And Richard Hoover—more power to. him!—has blended their talents into a performance that has a proper tempo, clarity, variety and sincerity. I have seen Ned LeFevre in a good many plays. But I never have seen him play with as much poise and knowledge of the values of nuance as he displays here. As he develops the character otf Alan

John Ray Newcomb’s Group is an unalloyed joy to behold. Gloria Geddes’ selection to play Gabby was a most happy choice, and the other actors, all of whom might he dwelt upon at more length, add their bit to a unified and well-balanced theatrical structure.
