NIGHT CLUBS IN
SHANGHAI BOOM,
CABARETS LOSE
Dancers and Jazz Bands
Are Imported From U. S.
to Meet Demand.
BY HAROLD P. MILLS
United Press Staff COrresnondent

SHANGHAI, June 1.-THE night
club craze has struck Shanghai with
bang and a battle royal is on be-
tween owners. They have already
reached the state where, in the
spirit of competition, they are i'm
porting high-priced jazz orchestras
and tempermental entertainers from
America.
Owners Of cabarets where Rus
sian dancing girls are the chief at
traction are sitting back glowering
for the night clubs are making
much-felt inroad upon business.
Shanghai was startled about a
year and a half ago when well
known American girl residing here
announced the opening of night
club patterned after one of Broad
ways most famous institutions.
It'll never do" the old-timers
declared. 1.-THE midnight sons just

causes one to appreciate the great
art of both effective acting and fine
directing. My praise for the work
of Terrence in no way reflects upon
the pleasing work of Novarro. Here
is a juvenile costume role. And so
is that of Joan Crawford. She is
lovely and all that, but it is Terrence
that you will remember. Across to
Singapore" is compelling theater. 1t
is a good yarn and the good yarn
has been given competent directing
and mighty good acting. I think
that the men will go strong for this
one. Here is the sort of theater
that one will be glad to tell his next
door neighbor to be sure to see. I
had a grand time seeing this one.
Now let us study for a second the
arrival of Joe Santley and Ivy Saw
yer in the modern scheme of stage
presentation in the movie theater.
They first appear in charming
something called 1.-THE Book Low
ers." Butt does not register nor
does it "sell" Sawyer and Santley.
I admit that the act has charm but
it does not get over the personality
idea that it has the service of two
of the better known names on the
musical comedy and revue stage.
This act does not run very long and
it is not until Emil Seidel introduces
the couple in the stage show that
we get the Sawyer and the Santley
that the four bucks legitimate stage
knows and loves so well. Here is a
class act, that I know, but it is
wasted as now being served.
The stage show this week is a
rather funny one because a hokum
travesty act upon athletes is the one
that gets most of the applause and
all the attention. This is good
team but rough and tumble fun wins
the majority vote of approval.
Now on view at Loew's Palace.

TAKING A STUDY
TAI NONHEnV TEAMS

Comedy teams have a habit o.
trying to make too many pictures
of the same sort, and consequently
run out of good material.
That was the sort, of thing that
was happening to Wallace Berry
and Raymond Hatton; too much
comedy stuff about the war in "The
Big Killing" they have gotten away
from that. These two get mixed
up in a family feud in the Ken
lucky hills. Much Of the comedy
is of the slapstick variety but is
good.
The Beagle family had daughter
that was most comely and the Hicks
family had a son that was in love
with the daughter. This, in o way.
was responsible for the reopening
of the old feud. The Beagles num-
bered seven men, while the HickSes
only three, and the son wouldn't
fight.
dead Eye Dan" and Powder
Pete" we're a couple of carnival men
who put OH an exhibition of rifle and
revolver shooting. One of the Hickses
hearing the sheriff call them hicks,
hired them to fight on their side.
They thought the Beagles are dogs,
and have a tough time of it when
they learned their mistake.
Incidents that follow give the
picture it's comedy. A lot of it is
good stuff. An amusing bit is made
when Berry loses his glasses and

two singers also do a tap dance.
There are two sisters on the stage
that are good eccentric and COM
edy dancers. They do some duet
dancing that is good. Charles Kelo
does a thick" dance that has a lot
of acrobaticS in it. All through the
show Coleman Goetz is to be seen.
Some of his comedy is quite good,
from an amusing standpoint. He
sings a song about Tomorrow" that
is good. The patter with the song
puts it across.
The chorus has several good num-
bers, especially one with Eddie
Vincent, who sings Stay Out of
the South" This has a back-stage
set representing a plantation scene
that is pretty.
The overture Is Musical Nina

and is good. There is a trombone
solo that is quite good and fair
violin solo.
There is a pretty stage set for
CUP in The Air" the stage show.
On the curtain is flashed several
pictures of a dirigible flying. and
as the light comes up the cabin
comes to rest on the stage.
The picture is Happiness Ahead"
Not to make a bad pun. but after
seeing the film 1 would say that it
still seems to be ahead.
From a standpoint Of the kind
of picture that Colleen Moore has
been making this one is all wrong
1t is not suited to her This has a
touch of melodrama in it that leaves
you high and dry. Miss Moore is
not as convincing in her portrayal
of Mrs Lionel Stewart as she
might be. There are spots, how
ever that bring forth some gooG
Characterization. While she is wait
ing in the anteroom of the prison
to see her husband, another woman
gives the same name and goes to
see the same man. The character
here is strong.
The story is that Of a man,
Lionel Stewart, a gambler on a large
scale, who brought him down on his
head to wrath of a woman. He
leaves town and goes to some small
place, where he sees and falls in
love with Mary Randall, a senior
in high school. He marries her and
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-06-11

corking good mystery movie to be
made out of the we'll known story,
"Hangman's House"
Somebody went all wrong in this
one and I believe that 1t was the
director. And yet, the material as
handled is not so forty. 1t lacks
the human touch. I mean by that
the chief character, the guy who
marries the girl of Ireland, is such
a weak rotter that he is unable to
gather any sympathy from the
audience. There isn't q person in
the world that is going to have any
understanding for man who will
deliberately shoot and kill a horse
that will win a great race. 1t is
this unreal element of the story that
the director has given so much at
tention. And again, it may be the
story. We haven't much regard or
time these days for a father that
will sell his daughter in marriage
to a rotter. And we today haven't
much patience when we see a
beautiful daughter letting her nutty
and powerfully old father sell her
into such bondage. And 1 doubt if
there is any bunch of actors in the
world that could do very much with
"Hangman's House" as it has been
directed. Victor McLaglen is the
Citizen. He hasn't a chance and 1
doubt if you will even remember
that Victor was in the cast.
After you see this picture, write
me a few lines and tell me what you
think about it. I would like to hear
from many people who read the
story.
When 7 consider the stage show,
it is eccentric Joe Penner that wins
all the attention. He is doing his
well-known whispering" song, and
it registers better than ever. Pen
ner is an eccentric funmaker of
most individual traits. There is
some pretty colorful Spanish dane
ing in this stage revue. Not great
dancing, but there is enough mel
ody back of the movements to
make it pleasant.
Bill includes Stuart Barrie at the
pipe organ.
Now on view at the Indiana.

These two have a really good

work together in great fashion, and
