= ;s,,,t much mystery to Hodge and it
is difficult to understand why even
a dumb detective could suspect any
character he portrays of doing muir
der. From a strict play standpoint,
straight Thru the Door lacks
curtains and climax. 1t is the
ouietest murder mystery have
witnessed. About the loudest tnlng
in it is the contractor who gets
killed and the guy that all suspicion
did it.
The story in a nutshell is this:
A wealthy actor is building a sum-
lner home and in trying to hurry
,1p the Job moves in his large fam
iIv. The wife nearly falls in love
with the architect and a silly Wom-
an interior decorator falls In love
with the actor. There is labor trou-
BILE and the contractor is mysterl-
ously shot. A dumb detective tries
to pin the guilt upon the actor and
the actor turns the tables upon the
detective by nearly arresting the de-
tectiye. The result is that the guy
you never suspect did the killing
and the final curtain shows the
actor, his wife and children and the
foolish interior decorator all very,
very happy.
AS usual, this play being a Hodge
play, is clean play. 1t is interest
ing only because the quaint humor
and philosophy of the author-actor
is present.
I doubt if we will remember many
of the plays by name that Hodge
has written. The only thing OF I'M
portance is that Hodge is present.
But when the final verdict is in,
Hodge has always made ones visit
to the theater happy one. That is
the real artistry of this man regard
less of whether he is a good play
wright or not.
It is Hodges aim to make ore
happier and that he admitted last
night in his curtain talk. This man
is still popular and he has a formula
that appeals.
The cast is large and WIN apouC
three exceptions haven't much to do.
Those having the most in addition
to Hodge are Utoy D-T'yl as the in
terror decorator; William Cullen as
the detective, and Carol Perrin as
the wife.
All the action takes place in the
library of the country home under
construction. There are many wise
cracks" about labor as applied to
building houses.
It is my serious opinion that this
vehicle is interesting only because
Hodge is in it. I know that it is a
new play and is being constantly
changed. Even the title was changed
before arriving here.

day.

She wears the most crazy costumes

Eva Tanguay to me has always
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-11-08

been one Of the strangest personal
tiles upon the stage. Some call her
an accident. I think of her in the
terms of being a wonderful show
man who has nothing to sell and
sells it to millions in the right way.
Nothing to sell?" you ask me-
She has taken the philosophy of life
and has made a tapestry of great
wisdom out of it. This woman is no
fool. She knows life and she knows
the meaning of nothing" and Il
don't care" as applied to life.
There is sound logic behind Eva
Tanguay and that is the reason
that she is packing 'em into the
theater year after year.
When I saw her on the stage yes
terday afternoon at the Lyric, I re-
allied that Eva Tanguay will never
change. To me she is the most
profound" Snowman in the bust
ness because she understands her
public better than Barnum. She is
a positive sensation in her own way
this season. And what an ovation
she gets even when her name is
flashed in announcing her act. 1t is
wonderful TO understand life and
she does.
Bob Larry is present with his en-
tertainers, a jazz band. His act
makes good mostly on novel settings
and his dancing. The DeKoe Trio
go in for gymnastics and human
balancing stunts.
Shadow and Mcneil are eccentric
fun makers, generally slapstick in
nature, but they win with some
strange dancing. Winfred and Mills
have winner in thier skit, I'm
China" Here is comedy that is real
comedy. Sulendidly done.
Frank Hughes and company of
girls go in for dance and song. A
burlesque on various forms of dane
ing is the winning thing of this act.

kisses. That there were ugly whisperings
going on around her, she neither knew
nor cared
Then one day came the awakening
that turned her heart into ice, shattered
her dreams of love, and loosed a cyclone
of terror and grief in her soul.
But the tragedy which had engulfedher
was only beginning. She was yet to enc
dure agonies of soul and body such as
she had never dreamed.

KEITH MOVIE
DEMANDS ATTENTION

Another ATTEMPT has been made
to bring Victor Hugo's Lies Miser-
ableS' to the screen. 1t is very
successful attempt.
Hugo has taken the lives of three
characters: Jean Vatican, Cosette,
and Javert and intertwined them
with threads of the lives of many
others. This screen version has re-
tanned only the essential themes.
Jean Vatican is carried from
prison to death and, the many COM
plications are mostly eradicated. His
rise from an outcast to a man Of
wealth and his subsequent fall are
portrayed with an exact vividness.
Cosette's life is carried from the
time she is found as a drudge until
she is to marry. Javert is the shad-
ow that hovers over Vatican all the
time.
Gabriel Gabries is Jean Vatican,
the strongest man in Toulon prison.
He is an immense man and makes
the feats of strength that he per-
forms seem only natural. Gabries is
an emotional actor as is clearly
shown in his moments of sorrow and
remorse.
Cosette the child (Andree Rolane)
is the kind of homeless little waif
that I have always pictured her. She
has wistfu1. woebegone face that
lights up magically when the
madam for who she works gives her
little time for pleasure.
AS the woman she looks as il she
stepped out of an old steel etching
Looking at her one would never
think that she lived in a modern
age. In the womanhood Cosette is
not the actor that she was in child
hood. The chances are not afforded
the woman who takes the part of
Cosette the woman.
Javert the policeman is the kind
of man you see in Uncle Toms
Cabin, the Simon Legree.
Lies Miserables" is a movie mas
terpiece in historical correctness and
in emotionalisnl.
"Signor Friscoe" presents his
Guatemalan Ensemble in a number
of arrangements of classical, popu-
lar and native music. Friscoe plays
"The Rosary" at the same time it is
played on a photograph.
Russian folk dances open the act
of Will Higgie. The most novel part
of the act was bell dance in which
each of the six girls had several
bells on her costume that when 1T
tied in certain rotation carried the
theme of a popular dance tune.
Then lying on their backs the girls
played another tune with the bells

around their ankles. Very clever.
Johnny Berkes, assisted by Vir-
GINA Sully, pulls some rare comedy.
Johnny has a pair of pants that
makes you wonder how he manages
to keep them on. His burlesque on
the Volga Boatman and what his
boat amounts to is a scream.
Every now and then it is the duty
of the city to have an act of Chinese
contortioniStS and plate twirlers.
George Won gand Company have
several members of the company
that are contortionists to the nth
degree.
Nothing Serious" is the act of
Ernest Hiatt. His brand of humor
is rather pitiful. His play on words
is crude. However, he makes some
amends for this in a fast comedy
song that seems to have no end. 1
agree with Hiatt, it is nothing seri-
