"Messiah Sung Again

Presented by Maennerchor

And Choral Ensemble.

For the second time within the ‘|week, the Murat was filled last evee ning for a musical Chirstmas pres= ent. This was the second annual performance of Handel's “The Mes= siah,” presented by the combined forces of the Matinee Musicale choral ensemble and the Indianapolis Maennerchor., Earlier in the week the Jordan Conservatory of Music had given the city its yearly gift of a concert by its student orchestra. The Jordan orchestra also took part in last night's performance. Joseph Lautner, who is head of the Jordan voice department as | well as the choral ensemble’s director, conducted the beloved work, while Clarence Elbert, Maennerchor con-

Circle

Surrounded by one of the most costly and colorful productions that you're likely to see at movie prices, the gentleman who calls himself “Think-A-Drink” Hoffman is dispensing necromantic nectar to the Circle’s patrons this week. And in spite of the lavish production and the pretty girls, Mr. Hoffman is still the main reason for your seeing “Streets of Paris.” The Hoffman brand of magic has been seen here hefore, but custom

Lyric

In stage appearance, nearly every flourishing modern dance band is characterized either by highly entertaining individual members or all round first-rate musicianship. When these ingredients are success- | #i fully combined you get such diverting organizations as Larry Clinton’s “Dipsy Doodle” Orchestra. Mr. Clinton earned his niche in the hall of swing fame and since has become firmly fixed there by his driving, killer-diller arrangements,

doesn’t .stale ihe iniinite variety. Mr. Hoffman simply stands out in front of a bar and pours tour or five different drinks out of the same obviously empty cocktail shaker. Or, if the patron requests it, he can get a cup of hot coffee and a portion of cream poured out of a glass beaker filled with water. It’s uncanny—and just as delight-

. fully mystifying as the usual ma-

gician’s traditional trappings of rabbits, pigeons and the cabinet from which the young woman disappears. Also featured on the bill are Sid Marion and Cliff Hall, who open up with a close approximation of one of Abbott and Costello’s sketches, and proceed with two blackouts which you can find almost any week at any burlesque house. Of course, they're cleaned and renovated for family trade. And in spiie of being almost as old as vaudeville, they're still decidedly funny. And that’s about the highest compliment you could pay this comedy team. The Hylton Sisters, a singing trio, give an amusing before-during-and-after account of three young Americans in-search of excitement in a gayer and slightly older Paree. And there are some corking good dancers along with a chorus of remarkably pretty girls. All in all, the show is much more recognizable as something which played Broadway (and the World’s Fair) than are most of the tab versions of New York revues. Directing the pit orchestra is Harry Danziger, who was a member of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s first violin section in the seasons 1937-39. I understand, that Mr. Danziger, with his brother, also is producer of “Streets of Paris.” The Circle’s movie is something of a minor masterpiece, by the way,

, thanks largely to its author-director,

Preston Sturges. It’s called “Christmas in July,” and tells the sad story of a young man who apparently wins $5000 in a coffee-slogan contest, buys his girl an engagement ring and his mother a long-coveted davenport, and treats all the kids in his tenement neighborhood to théir heart’s desires. And then the first prize turns out to be a misplaced joke. But there's a happy ending. Mr. Sturges has embellished this slight tale with some admirable*imagination which, however, doesn’t clutter up the story. And he is to be congratulated especially upon putting Dick Powell in the lead, using his voice for speaking purposes’ only, divesting him of his perennial boyish charm, and getting a first-

rate performance out of him. The

other players in the unpretentious cast are equally enjoyable.—J. T.

* 50 ACTORS SIGNED

For a short subject that will last 10 minutes on the screen, “Dark River” offers more roles than the average feature-length picture. Fifty actors were selected for character parts in the film.

many times of the classics. Witness such “compositions by Larry Clinton” as “My Reverie” (first publish-

ed by Claude Debussy as “Reverie”),

and “Our Love” (the theme of the second movement in Tschaikowsky’s Fifth Symphony.) This is the sort of thing he’s giving the Lyric patrons this week, imaginative arrangements of standard repertoire numbers and popular songs, all in a rich, full-bodied style. More specifically, “Only Forever,” To.elli’s. “Serenade,” “Kansas City Blues,” “A Setting in Surrealism” and “Semper Fidelis.” This last should set John Phillip Sousa spin-

ning underground. »

The band has two choice vocalists—Peggy Mann who sings the “Our Love” arrangement and also the current swing favorite, “The Five O’Clock Whistle”; and tall, blond and terrific Terry Allen whose “Down Argentine Way” is as full of warmth as a South American noonday. \ The best commentary on the Carr Brothers, novelty acrobats, was the reaction of an 8-year-old who sat in front of me. Pretty passive until their entrance he scooted to the front of his seat, grabbed onto the chair back before him and rocked with laughter until his mother had to restrain him. Other kids in the theater, too, were near hysteria. Jimmy Currie, another of the band members, has a comical story to tell, which he claims is a sequel to Louis Pasteur, entitled “The Death of Willie, the Jerk.” He's somewhat of an arranger, also, giving out with his concert adaptation of that rug-cutting opus, “Well All Right.” Touring with the band is Elaine Barrie, chiefly noted as the one-time spouse of John Barrymore. She does a skit from the picture “Golden Bov.” On the screen is “The Lady With Red Hair” allegedly a biography of one of America’s great actresses, Mrs. Leslie Carter, and her producer, David Belasco. For many of you the film’s lack of accuracy will mean little since Carter and Belasco are - of another generation but to those who can remember the picture is well filled with misrepresentations. The picture doesn’t begin to touch the other fine biographical films which Warner Bros. have: made— “Pasteur,” “Zola,” and “Juarez.” M:riam Hopkins is quite effective in part but an overall appraisal makes you feel Mrs. Carter must have been a greater personage than this. Claude Rains’ character study of Belasco is the picture's most telling portrayal—D. M.

CHARITY CLEARING HOUSE IS SET UP

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 21 (U. P.).— A clearing house has been set up

| by the motion picture industry to | sort the deluge of requests for | charity appearances by film stars.

Estimating that the industry had

raised more than $1,000,000 the past year for charity, a joint announcement by the Actors’ Guild and the Producers’ Association said that henceforth all charity requests must be passed on by the theater authority. This, it was explained, is “to assure charities and benefits the most efficient use of actors’ talents, and at the same time to protect actors from wasteful demands on their time.” The industry estimated it has raised $44,000 for the Red Cross and $466,708 for the Community Chest this year in addition to many thousands for other charities.

SOLDIERS GUESTS OF 2 COMEDIANS

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 21 (U. P.).— —A group of soldiers from Ft. MacArthur, San Pedro, today saw Army life as it is in the movies when they called on Comedians ‘Bud Abbott and Lou Costello on a Universal sound stage. Abbott and Costello are playing misfit. draftees in “Buck Privates,” a picture based on life at a selective service training camp. Last week they spent a day at Ft. MacArthur as guests of the Third Coast Artillery, which made them honorary buck privates. Today's visit by the soldiers was to return the call.

Neighborhood Final Food Shows Scheduled Monday

By DAVID MARSHALL

MONDAY is the last chance your youngsters will have to attend one of the food shows through which Christmas is made a happier day for many Indianapolis needy. The programs are designed especially for youngsters and the cans of food they bring are distributed by the Parent-Teacher Association, the Indianapolis Indorsers of Photoplays, American Legion Posts, churches and similar civic groups. ‘ Many theaters already have had their shows and the response has been most gratifying to the sponsors, theaters and the various film exchanges which donated movies for the events. First of the Monday shows come at 10 a. m. at the Zaring and Rex. The Zaring’s show is sponsored by the Shortridge High. School P.-T. A., American Legion Post 4 Aukiliary, and Schools 29, 32, 36, 43, 45, 60, 66 and 70. The Rex will hold a second benefit show at 1 p. m. which, like the first, will be sponsored by the Madden - Nottingham American Legion Post and the P.-T. A. groups of Schools 41 and 45.

" #® ”

AT 10:30 O'CLOCK each of the Cantor Theaters will hold its annual canned food show. The Rivoli program, with the Parker staff participating, will combine a Hopalong Cassidy film, “Partners of the Plains,” with two Merrie Melody cartoons. The Emerson will show one of the same series, “Cassidy of Bar 20” with two Merrie Melody cartoons. The Esquire has Hopalong in “Texas Trails’ a Popeye cartoon and a special short called “On With the News.” The Sheridan presentation is headed by George O'Brien in “Timber Stampede” plus a Donald Duck cartoon and a short subject, “Stage Fright.” East and North side school P.-T. A. organizations are coSponsors. At 1 p. m. the Belmont will hold its show which is sponsored by the P.-T. A. of Schools 16, 30 and 50 while at 1:30 p. m. the Talbott has its benefit sponsored by the Photoplay Indorsers and the P.-T. A. of School 32. The Uptown Theater show is at 2 p. m. with Schools 66 and 70 co-operating while the Grove (Beech Grove) Theater has scheduled its food show at 2:30 p. m.

EARL CUNNINGHAM now has contracted to purchase the films of the Universal studios which means the Fountain Square and Granada theaters will get the output of all major studios for the next movie year. First of the Universal pictures under the new contract will be Deanna Durbin’s “Spring Parade” at the Fountain Square today through Tuesday along with ‘Argentine Nights” starring the Ritz Brothers and the Andrews Sisters. ” ” ” Monday night the employees of the Cantor Theaters and their friends will be entertained at the annual employees’ Christmas party in the Variety Club. On the entertainment committee are Joseph Cantor, Morris Cantor and Don Wright. The same night, Strand employees will have their Christmas party at the home of Manager Claude Allison.

# ” ”

Because Christmas and New Year's Day both fall on Wednes-» day, the Green Hornet chapter play at the Strand will be shown on Monday and Tuesday only next week. Monday, Jan. 6, the serial returns to the regular Mon-day-Tuesday-Wednesday schedule. Also for the holidays the day of program change has been altered to Wednesday instead of Thurs-

day. 5 ” ”

"here last year,

By JAMES THRASHER

EACH YEAR I FIND MYSELF sitting down to write a piece about the return of “Tobacco Road,” and ending up with one about

the return of Carlton Miles.

~ Mr. Miles, as press agent for Jack Kirkland and his deathless tale of the unhappy Lesters, seems to me to be more of a phenomenon than the play itself. After all, the actors long since have

learned their lines, but Mr. Miles has to keep on thinking up new ones for the press. Like woman's work, his is never done. One would think that, after he had brought up to date his statistics on turnips, squash balls and loads of dirt consumed, the promotional possibilities of “Tobacco Road” would by this time have been milked dry. Not so, however. Mr. Miles has heen the play’s beaming, cherubic-counte-nanced herald for six years, man and boy. And he hasn’t repeated himself yet. If space and incilnation permitted, Mr.. Miles’ inexhaustible pieces might have appeared on this page daily for 10 days, at least, before the play opens it’s sixth engagement at English’s on Christmas afternoon. But things being as they are, much of interest will have to be left unsaid. Here, however, are a few pertinent and impertinent items gathered since the last time Dude’s “chunk-

_in’” of the ball against the Lester

home resounded through English’s

confines. E- ” ”

EUGENIA WILSON, the pretty young woman who played Pearl will be Mrs. Frederick de Wilde when the show opens at English’s. She flew to San Francisco from Ft. Wayne, met Mr. de Wilde and went to Reno for the ceremony yesterday.

She rejoins the company here,

while the groom will continue as the assistant stage manager and understudy in “The Little Foxes” company, now on tour. . . Incidentally, Sally Sanderson, who played Pearl four seasons ago, was married at Christ Church in Indianapolis during Easter Week, 1937. ” ” ” LILLIAN ARDELL will give her 1789th performance as Grandma Lester at the Christmas matinee performance here. During this time she hasn't spoken a word on the stage; the part, of course, is all pantomime.

JOHN BARTON, the Jeeter Lester, celebrated his 50th year on the stage in Milwaukee a few weeks ago. The same Mr. Barton was met by a woman at the : stage door in Baltimore with the

MR. BARTON’S favorite story of the moment is about the young actress (a “Tobacco Roadster” at that, I fear) who went to see Phil Spitalny’s girl barid in Louisville. Returning to the theater, she exclaimed, “It’s perfectly marvelous! They have one girl who does the most wonderful intimidations of celebrities.” *
