Disney Film to Open at Indiana

‘Easter Parade’ Will Start I¥'s Second Week at Loew’s; a Prewar Movie, ‘Flowing Gold,’ Will Be Revived at the Lyric Theater ONLY THE Indiana and the Circle will offer new pictures next week.
“Easter Parade” will start its second week at Loew’s next Wednesday, and “Flowing Gold,” pre-war film, will be revived at the Lyric, together with “God's Coun-
try and the Woman.” Uptown, the Esquire today begins a
week’s run of “Panic,” a French murder
mystery with a psychological twist. Viviane Romance and Michel Simon, two of the leading actors in French movies, head the cast. ¢
CRITICAL OPINION, uniformly enthusiastic about the film, also contains the warning that this is no picture for children. Evidently the French, less squeamish than we are about movies, have made “Panic” an exceptionally morbid and disturbing film. The Indiana’s newcomer will be “Melody Time,” a new Disney musical combining real People with cartoons. Like other musicals from the Disney studio, this one includes a long roster of big names. Roy Rogers is in it, and so are Frances Langford, Dennis Day, the Andrews Sisters, Sons of the Pioneers, Freddy Martin, Jack Fina, Ethel Smith, the Dinning Sisters, Buddy Clark and Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians. ® & © THE CIRCLE’S new picture Thursday will be “Feudin’, Fussin’ and a-Fightin’,” a comedy of small-town life, with Donald O'Connor and Penny Edwards in the leads and that redoubtable Hoosier, Marjorie Main, cast as the woman mayor of the vil 1 Miss Main, probably the screen's best imperSonator of loud-mouthed battle-axes, will be in

The exact times of -her appearances so far have not been arranged. “Easter Parade,” discussed here last week, has Fred Astaire and Judy Garland as a comedy dance team in pre-World War I vaudeville days, when Irving Berlin was beginning to build up his phenomenal cess. The musical score includes, besides the famous “Easter Parade,” many other Berlin hits of the same era. ‘

Paired with it will be James Oliver Curwood’s “God's Country and the Woman,” with a cast headed by ,George Brent and Alan Hale.

Butler Bowl CONCERTS AND OPERA
FILMS AND MUSIC — In bowler hat is Donald O'Connor getting close to Penny Edwards in "Feudin’, Fussin' and a-Fightin'" (Circle, Thursday). Attired in revealing fashion scarcely appropriate for a real Easter parade is Lola Albright of Akron, O., one of the cuties in "Easter Parade,” starting a second week at Loew's Wednesday. Roy Rogers and Trigger, two of the flesh and blood characters in the Disney "Melody Time," need no introduction (Indiana, Wednesday). A couple of the Italian principals in the film version of Mascagni's “Cavalleria Rusticana" will be seen at. the Esquire beginning next Saturday. That's Fabien Sevitzky, bestknown Hoosier musician and deputy sheriff (Lagrange and Marion Counties), directing rehearsals for the Butler Bowl concerts and the opera "Carmen." Pretty much bespattered with the oil that brings wealth are Frances Farmer and John Garfield. in "Flowing Gold" (Lyric, Wednesday).

3 Symphony Concerts Next Week, Jordan Group to Present Opera
Sidney Foster, Young American Pianist Will Be Chief Soloist
In All-Gershwin Program at Butler Bowl Tomorrow Night By HENRY BUTLER THREE SYMPHONY CONCERTS and an opera produced by Jordan Conserva-
tory are on next week’s schedule.
The Butler Bowl concerts, conducted by Fabien Sevitzky, will start with an all-
Gershwin program at 8:30 p. m. tomorrow.
As previously announced, Sidney Foster, young American pianist, will be chief soloist tomorrow night. He will be heard in Gershwin's “Rhapsody in Blue” and the minor Concerto, which latter work is probably the best of Gershwin’s extended com-
positions. LOIS GENTILE, mezzo-soprano, and George Tozzi, baritone, also will appear on the program, singing solos and duets from some of Gershwin's best-known musical comedies. Dr. Sevitzky’s -all-Gershwin program last year drew the largest attendance of the season, with the exception of that record-breaker, “Aida.” ‘Tomorrow’s concert may give another demonstration of Gershwin’s box-office appeal. Gladys Swarthout will be the soloist in next Wednesday's concert, singing three operatic arias and some modern popular songs. On the same evening, the orchestra will play Rossini's “Barber of Seville” overture, the first movement of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, Grieg’s “Peer Gynt” suite, Strauss’ “Tales From the Vienna Woods” waltzes and the Rakoczy March of Berlioz. > © % o NEXT FRIDAY, that remarkable young couple, Carroll Glenn, violinist, and Eugene List, pianist, will assist Dr. Sevitzky and the orchestra in an all-Tchaikovsky program. Tchaikovsky, in a manner of speaking, is Dr. Sevitzky’'s “specialite de la maison,” so local devotees of the Russian composeg should "get a wallop out of the concert. Miss Glenn will play the D major violin concerto, and Mr, List will play the B flat minor (“Tonight We Love’) piano concerto. The orchestra will contribute the “Capriccio Italien” and the “Swan Lake” suite. ® © % . JORDAN Conservatory’s operatic venture will be “Cavalleria Rusticana,” directed by Leola Turner, the opera singer who joined the Jordan faculty last year. Mascagni’s one-act tragedy will be produced with full scenery and costumes on the Jordan campus, 1116 N.

Use Phonograph Records To Teach Child Actress
HOLLYWOOD, July 17 (UP) — Telling a 5-year-old child how to be a movie actress is posing a problem for Sidney Lanfleld, director, Mary Jayne Saunders, who is playing the part that made Shirley Temple famous in “Little Miss Marker,” never has appeared before movie cameras before. Paramount thought she had enough natural talent, though, to pick her from several hundred eager children for the part in Paramount's version of the Damon Runyon story, now called “Sorrowful. Jones.” : “The problems arexin making a child so young understand what she's supposed to do,” Mr. Lanfield said. “And one of the biggest problems is getting her thoroughly acquainted with her lines for the next day.” Lanfield hopes he has solved the problem by using phonograph records.
