CAMPAIGN FOR
new VETERAN
HOSPITAL HERE
Civic Bodies Make Effort to
Locate Proposed InSti-
tute in City.

A united effort to bring to Indi-
annapolis the proposed 100000 veter-
ans hospital has been begun by
the Chamber of Commerce, Ameri-
can Legion, Veterans Bureau and
public officials.
Congress has appropriated funds
for an Indiana hospital and the
committee composed of the surgeon
general of the army and navy,
United States public health service
and the director general of the
Veterans Bureau has been in
structed to select a site. The COM
mite is expected to visit Indian
apolis soon to survey the facilities
here.
Forced to Leave State
At present Indiana veterans are
sent to other states for treatment,
making it necessary for them to be
away from friends and relatives.
DR.. William A. Doeppers, city hos
pital superintendent, pointed out
that indianapolis is ideally located
for the government hospital be-
cause the site proposed by the city
is in the proximity of the medical
center.
1.-THE government hospital would
be an integral part of the medical
center with the Indiana university
and city hospital facilities available
for study and cooperation" DR..
Doeppers said.
City Is Center
"The location of hospital here
would make treatment available to-
veterans in all sections of the state
and easily accessible by all forms of
transportation. indianapolis offers
abundant facilities for research,
recreation and social activities for
the veterans and hospital staff. A
large library is available to both
the lay and medical personnel"
Doeppers stated.
The Chamber of Commerce has
instructed William H. Book, civic
director, to cooperate in the move

clear conception Of the meaning
hidden away in the music. He has
found the story in every compost
ton, and with the aid of costumes
puts that beauty in motion. Kreutz-

ated powerful dramatic theater
1.-THE Persian Song,',s as done by
Miss Georgi and Kreutzberg was
really symphonic poem in which
the weird movements of the arms
created the picture and told the
story. Here is great drama, it even
goes beyond the province of the
dance and really becomes drama.
The work Of these dancers is so
definite that not one movement
strikes a false note. In other words
it is perfect dancing if it ever eX-
lists. They make a gigantic piano
keyboard Of the stage.
Miss Georgi, while dancing
Spirit of Evil" did not use the pi-
ano in giving the meaning of the
dance. This dance has created ma
tional discussion not only because it
is a novelty but because Miss Georgi
becomes the Bernhardt Of dramatic
dance.
The greatness as we'll as addi-
tional proof of her definite tech
nique was found in Miss Georgi's
conception of Dances OF SaIone,"
to SCOTS music. She told the story
in a most original manner.
And yet there was great Joy
found on the program of these two
German dancers. Take the Ma
zurka" of Miss Georgi and the
Russian Dance" of the two.

dancing chorus that the screen has
ever had is in this show. This
movie revue brings to the screen for
the first time the only real Shake
speare that the screen has ever
had. I am speaking of the way that
John Barrymore delivers the soiloquy
Of the Duke Of Gloucester in King
Henry VI" Barrymore seems to
have the perfect screen talking
voice. His makeup is a master
piece. This scene as well as nearly
all Of them is done in color.
Frank Fay is the master OF
ceremonies, but his going is not
even because so much Of his ma
terial is rather ancient. But he
does hand out a bundle OF laughs.
The picture gets grand start with
the famous Floradora number done
in ancient costume.
Beatrice Lille should have had
more to do herself although she is
splendid when delivering fun with
Frank Fay and Lloyd Hamilton. OF
the many sister acts, Dolores and
Helene Costello are least salts
factory and the winners are Sally
ONeil and Molly O'Day.
The "Scull and Crossbones" scene
is one of the fine things. Ted Lewis
does his stuff in this scene. Monte
Blue leads a military parade. You
will love the Bicycle Built for Two
number Good fun.
One of the gigantic scenes is "The
Chinese Fantasy" There are so
many big scenes that it is i'm
possible for me to give them to you
in detail.

and remarriage means nothing to
them And the effect it has on
their children seems to be the least
of their worries.
The children are continually being
separated from each other until
Mary Brian. as Judith Wheaton, the
eldest, sWearS she will always keep
them together.
And when she does this she takes
a tough job upon herself. Without
the help OF an American, played
by Frederic March, doubt very
much if she could have accom-
plished the task. But of course
that helps to make the story.
Mary falls in love with Frederic
at first sight, but can not figure
out just what it is. When she
realizes her love, she gets her man,
even if she does have to break his
engagement to a widow, who is los
ing her girlish figure.
The episodes in the life OF these
children are full of humor and
heart interest. All this has been
well filmed and directed in Mar
riage Playground" and is we'll worth
spending an evening from the fire.
place.
Here it is shown that the chill
dren of this generation are far
wiser than most of us dare think,
but on the other hand they lean
toward home and its meaning
much more than a great many of
the parents.
To give you an idea, when the
daughter of the male parent, by hrs
second marriage, is introduced to
her mothers new husband, she eX-
claims, What, another one?" And
then directly to him, You must
have lots Of money; she would
never have married you without it."
Others in the cast of this all
talking picture are Huntley Gordon
and Lilyan TaStman, who are the
parents; Kay Francis. William
Austin and Seena Owen. Good en-
tertainment.
On the stage Charlie DAVIS ap-

Savoy proves himself a comedian,
capable of getting laughs from the
audience. Also an actor, as he
proves by building up his fun to a
climax Of humor. The two brothers,
who dance, will surprise you with
their fast rhythm steps, and you
will like Irene Taylor better than
most blue singers, at least you can
understand her.

Never in my experience of tell

Kreutzberg and YVonne Georgi.
Here are two dancers with the
most definite technique that have

CHEVALIER AT
HIS VERY BEST

Tt seems that this man Maurice
Chevalier has come to stay in pop
ular favor.
He really is the very smart COM
erdy and satire actor in THE Love
Parade" Here is a story that is
continental both in theme and in
treatment. 1t is naughty at times
but done in smart taste.
I am not saying that this movie
is for infants in arms or those who
are too straight laced to laugh at
situations net too Volstead.
But the fellow who has the mind
that wonders about town and is
not afraid of Paris by night, well,
he will get many a smart kick out
of the Love Parade"
The picture has it's moments of
melody, especially when Chevalier
is singing. He lives up to his rep
utation Of being the grand lover.
Some Of his love scenes with
jeanette Macdonald are wild but
funny. Not too proper nor i'm
proper.
Some Of the best comedy work
Of the year is done by Lupino Lane
as the servant to the count played
by Chevaiier, and by Lillian Roth.
These Two sure can dance. Prob
ably they have too much to do, but
they are amusing.
In brief we are concerned with
the efforts of a beautiful queen to
get husband. Hubby turns out to
be Cheyalier. who is devil with
women. The marriage turns out to
be a mess because hubby is less
than husband, he is not even a
queen. Queenie is the boss of that
castle until she is TANNED.
The bath scene with Miss Mac
donald in her bath is quite-well
quite. Oh, dear. Some of the
smartest comedy situations of the
season are found in this one.
The picture has been mag
nificiently mounted, splendidly acted
and full Of delicates6martness. You
will have to keep awake to get all
the smart dirt that is in this picture.
You will agree with me that in
THE Love Parade" Cheyalier is at
his best.
Now at the Circle.
Other theaterS today offer: Britt
Wood at the Lyric; burlesque at the
Mutual; Hello Thirty" at the
Colonial, and THE Virginian" at
the Ohio.
