I am so glad when I entered the
hall that Mrs. Goodman tipped me
off to the fact that Leginska would
handle the piano.
And when this happened we had
the real fireworks of the concert.
Leginska told us that this thing of
a conductor playing the piano ana
directing the orchestra was old as
the hills; that it was mo stunt" on
her part. She named two compos-
ers Of enough age and Importance
to convince me of the truth of what
she said.
Stunt or no stunt, it was the
crowning thing Of the entire concert.
1eginska plays the piano while
standing on her feet, sits down and
plays, jumps up and directs the Or
cheStra. Sits again and plays. Turns
her score. Finds beauty. finds art.
finds novelty, and above all, proves
her point that Hungarian Fantasy
is not a stunt" even while the
conductor plays the piano in grand
and f1orid style 1even masterfully
beautifully while conducting a large
orchestra.
They talk about Ethel Leginska-
fad, fancy. art. murder, artistry,
freak-call her anything. Yet this
woman has that grand and glorious
strength TO be herself. Wonderful.
I am so glad that the indianapolis
Matinee Musicale exploded this niu-
lsical personality in Indianapolis. s

nations OF certain modern stars just
before the story ends. She has nu-
merous hot and worried and over
dramatic love scenes. All done in
words, kisses, hot kicks and the like.
Just what Miss Davies tries to &C
complish besides trying to prove that
she can talk, sing, dance, make love,
cry and worry, is beyond me. In
other words, Marianne" is too long
and calls upon Miss Davies, Law
renee Gray, Cliff Edwards and Ben
ny Rubin to do too much. Certain
cutting would play wonders with
this picture. And yet I know that
there is vast difference of opinion
regarding this picture.
Although I left the theater about
eleven minutes before the movie was
completed, I am not worried whether
our heroine landed the American
soldier or the lad of her own for
eign town who staged the Romeo
stuff before he went to war.
So be your own judge on Mari
anna" You have my idea. You
are welcome to yours. I don't like it.

A THOUGHT ON
A CHICAGO OPENING

Two Indianapolis men have been
so fine to give their names to a
splendid Chicago undertaking.
Tonight in the new Civic theater,
a part of the gigantic structure
which shelters the Chicago Civic
Opera on Wacker drive in Chicago,
Fritz Leiber will begin guaranteed
season of the plays of Shakespeare
at popular prices.
Along with the fine names of
Chicago civic boosters appears the
names of two indianapolis men
Meredith Nicholson and Booth
Harrington.
Leiber opens tonight in Chicago
for a week in Hamlet" to be fol-
lowed next week with Julius Cae-
sar." The season will be for twelve
weeks and about as many plays.
You will recall that we have had
Leiber as supporting the late Robert
Mantell and also at the head of
his own company at EnglishS.
I have hoWled my head off in in
siSting that the indianapolis Civic
Theatre should give us at least one
week of Shakespeare, starting with
Hamlet" and that all Indianapolis
should back this yearly production.
Chicago has it. When will we?
Why can't the Indianapolis Vic
theatre bring Leiber here? Let us
think this thing over.
In the meantime two great IN
dianapolis names aid Chicago in
having yearly Shakespeare. Mar
velous.
Tonight at English's the New
York Theatre Guild opens a three
day engagement with wings Over
Europe" I saw this play in New
York last February. told you it
was the real article.
. Other theaters today offer: Char
lie Murray at the Lyric; 1.-THE Pass
ing Review" at the Colonial; Bur
lesque Review" at the Mutual, and
why Bring That Up?" at the
Ohio.

CONCERNING THE
NEW HAROLD LLOYD

I have been concerned about
Harold Lloyd's first talker, both as
a movie and as a box Office attrac-
ton.
I took two ''shotS" at this picture
and last night I was convinced on
both points. I approached the Cir
Gle, guess that is the word-ap-
preached.
1t was during the supper hour
when I approached and the door
man assured me by not saying a
word that it was standing room
only.
Every fine effort was made to get
me seat even a high chair in a
box but I assured the manager of
the theater that I wanted to stand
because I wanted to watch the
audience. So I and several hundred
others gave him no more worry.
To me this Lloyd person must
always be judged from the audience
standpoint. You remember that I
told. you that had to see SPEEDY"
three times and "Grandma'S Boy"
twice before I could reach a per-
sonal verdict. You know I confess
when I am worried. And Lloyd
has always worried me because I
could apply no standard to his
work because the audience always
decided it in the opposite direction.
This man Lloyd always has action.
I thought maybe the spoken word
would slow up action. But I am
telling you that Welcome Danger"
sure has speed and rapid talking.
Lloyd generally uses the chase
idea for action. He has it this time
when he graduates from a student
of botany, accepts his inheritance
and becomes a detective bent upon
clearing up Chinatown in Frisco.
Lloyd has captured and pho
tographed the rapidity of action. L
am not so sure that the talking
was not added in spots after the
action was photographed. And not
so sure. Lloyd knows when to talk.
I will always remember the finger
print scene because Lloyd as a new
detective certainly gets the finger
print right on the brow. That is a
strange place to carry such things.
And Lloyd has one fight after
another. That makes action and
keeps the comedy going at full blast.
It seems to me that somebody has
been very wise in cutting and
when it comes to getting laughs it is
there.
When people can stand on their
feet and yell with delight and even
at private showing when people
come out yelling in praise Of it,
we'll "Welcome Danger" has the
popular verdict, at least as far as
indianapolis is concerned, of being
Lloyd winner.
"Welcome Danger" is the capacity
challenge on view at the Circle this
week.

get cold and ask mamma to turn
on the heat. So the composer and
the lyric writer turn on the melody
heat with the result that we do
not have Mozart but we have the
modern stuff which makes one
happy and romantic and even
bit naughty in dancing tempo.
And then when we might get tired
of so much northern tempo-this
song is so hot in the movie idea that
even the northern ice huts melt,
trees of tropical nature start to
grow and then melt-the director
allows the musical composers to turn
on another musical hit by the name
Of IF I Had Talking Picture of
You" And I am telling you that
this tune has all of that Valentino
matinee idea back of it to make a
guy even wish to have a talking rec
ord made of his life when he was
counting her. And that is going
some.

sensation.

what I consider the best talking and

What I am telling you about is
the dynamite Of musical nature
which was exploded here yesterday
afternoon when the indianapolis
Matinee Musicale opened its public
season by presenting the Boston
Women's Symphony with Ethel Leg
inska conducting.
Really, I expected anything to
happen while Leginska was on the
conducting stand. She is enough
Of a novelty as well as leader on
the piano to have packed the hall.
She didn't. She should have.
I like revolution on the concert
platform and this woman has revo-
luton packed away in every little
movement. First. she has wom-
ems symphony orchestra. They are
clad in attire at times that might
confuse them with being inmates
in some sort Of a home. But they
are inmates" when Leginska walks
on for the first time-the members
of the orchestra sl stand up like
the queen is coming to her throne.
Then, when the applause gets hon.
est and sincere, she salstes, smiles
and talks to the members Of the or
cheStra like a human being.
But LeginSka is always dynamite.
She always explodeS. The program
stated that Lucille Oliver would be
the piano soloist. More dynamite
Lucille Oliver did not play. Legin-
ska did.

MITCHELL HITS
u. S. LACK OF
AIR PROGRESS
Demands Nation Awaken to
Dire Need of United
Airport.

. NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Pacihstic
moves of the United States in
armament reduction, and par
ticularly the nations behind the
times" idea in regard to aircraft,
were scored roundly here Sunday
night in a radio talk by General
William Mitchell, former assistant
chief of the United States Army air
service.
Mitchell, who became famous for
his denunciations of the manner in
which the Army air service was con-
Quoted, and later was banished from
his post by former Secretary of War
Weeks, fayed the attitude of the
United States from all angles.
What right have the army and
navy to experiment with airplanes?"
demanded Mitchell in his talk dur
ing Golfers hour on a national
hook-up.
THE navy is moving inland in
stead of going out to sea and get
ting its feet wet. The United States
should follow the example of the
European nations, whose aeronautic-
al strength is massed at a united
airport, for speed in peace time and
for quick action in war time.
"Battleships in the World war met
only twice, once for sixteen minutes
and once for twenty minutes. At no
time was a battleship sunk by an
opponent. The United States fleet
did not fire even single shot, ex-
cept for salutes.
1.-THE mode of modernism is in the
air and the American people should
awaken to the fact and demand a
united airport"

The picture ooh, Yeah" brings to-
gether Robert Armstrong and James
Gleason in their first all talkie. And
I like them. Is that plain enough?
AS Duke and Dusty, two roilroaderS,
not much better than buns, they
roam about the country, until they
meet up with two gals known as
Pinkie and The Elk, and then its
Just too bad.
Zasu Pitts who is The Elk, put
me in a state of panic several times.
AS a Coincidence in this picture, She
wins the fur lined bath tub. She
knows what she wants to say, but
it takes her just SO long to say it..
and there's no use trying to stop
her. until she is exhausted. Pinkie
played by Patricia Caron, who was
brought to the screen from musical
comedy, is the time keeper at the
railroad yards, where Duke and
Dusty drop off from their wander
ings and finally decide to stay.
If you like thrills, the fight scenes
between Duke and Dusty, and the
two bad men who rob people of their
last dime and go in for wrecking
trains, should be thrilling enough.
The fight takes place in some box
cars which are running about loose
without any brakes, and headed di-
rectly in the path of a fast pas
senger.

and very well recorded.
