Indians Drop Opener at
Milwaukee by Big Score;
BurWeII Fails.

Rf Times Special
MILWAUKEE,, July 25-Bruno
BetzeTs Indians still are "maidens'
in Milwaukee during 1929, meaning
they haven't won a game at Bor-
ebert field this season. They played
two here in May and lost both. and
Wednesday. in the opener Of a six
game series, the Hoosiers were
thumped soundly, 10 to 2. Bill Bur-
well, usually a puzzle to the Brewers,
was knocked out and the Indians
as a whole failed to score after the
first inning.
Softened up by the Miller bats
in the last three games during the
six-game series in Minneapolis, the
BetzeHtes were little more than
push-over for the Home Brews We'd
nesday and now Marty Bergham-
mer, new Milwaukee boss has an
idea his Cream City FASTENERS are
going to land higher than seventh
in the A. A. standing when the cur
tains are drawn in late September.
He expects to bowl over the Tribe
for at least four during the current
sojourn of the Bethel boys in Mil
waukee.
It's needless to go into detail about
what happened Wednesday. The
box score tells it all. Violent at the
start, were the Indians, but with no
punch later-there you have it. Yes,
it's becoming a tough road trip for
the men of Bethel, the record now
showing, since they left home, five
six defeats and one tie.
The fact they blew" a seven-run
lead in the second half Of Tuesdays
twin bill at Minneapolis evidently
took the heart out Of the Tribe ath-
leteS and hurt their morale Wednes-
day in the series first here. At any
rate, it was just too bad to suffer
a decisive defeat at the hands of
the loWly Brewers.

Following Thru" a recent musical
production launched by Schwab and
Mandel, producers of Queen High"
"The Desert Song" Good News" and
1.-THE New Moon" the tyrannical and
heretofore unassailable movie press
agent bids fair to give way to superior
craftsmanship.
One crotic of a leading New York daily
describes the latest Schwab and Mandel
creation as "a frenzied and original
carnival. The audience fairly burst
with approval" Another says 1T is an
other Sure-flre hit, with ginger in its

hilarious, breath taking entertainment, F"
and yet another, 1T Is utterly impossi-
BILE to pick single flaw in the entire
show" while yet another describes it as
"a large, handsome and gorgeously
breathlesS entertainment"
Surely, after this, and these ardent
champions of the vernacular, the movie
shall not further pass, the speaking
stage shall not vanish from the sight of
man.
But, let it also be asked, is the dra-

TO watch her dancing specialties on
the Belasco Theater stage, where
she is appearing this week with the
Savoy MuSicomedianS in Honeymoon
Lane" the casual spectator would
scarcely believe that at one time Thelma
Parker suffered from a hip disease
which threatened to make her cripple
for life, and that only 10 months in
hospital under expert medical care en-
abled her to walk normally, much less
to dance as she does. That, it is true,
was when she was years old, and since
then she has done much.
1t was one energetic accomplishment
which introduced her to stage career;
that was her swimming. When she was
only ID she set out with a girl chum
to earn her living in New York as an
Office assistant or Salesgirl. Nothing
was further from her mind than a
stage debut. Finding, however, that in
experienced Office help was none too
readily acceptable, and finding, too.
that she was down to her last dime"
the potential movie and stage actress
came upon an advertisement calling for
expert swimmers. Literally running to
the address given she found herself a
few hours later in possession of con-
tract to support Annette Kellerman in
big movie feature.
Herbert Brenon, who was directing
the film, happened to be on the look
out for an ingenue with a flair for
emotional acting. A trail of 35 candi-
dates for the role failed to yield him
a success until Miss Parker made q
test. 1t was the beginning of several
years of motion picture work. which
Miss Parker Abandoned only when she
was left an inheritance by grand
mother. providing her the luxury of
living like a private citizen.

Natural Dramatic Ability.

THERE are times when extras in the
l. film colony in Hollywood manage
to get along a whole day without
spending anything for food. Some
times this is due to a depleted pocket
book and occasionally to a job in a
picture in which there are luncheon
and dinner sequences during which
real food is consumed Seldom, how
ever were hungry extras treated to
such feast as was provided for them
during the making of Girls Gone
Wild on the Fox lot. This is a story
of fast stepping crowd of high school
boys and girls in which Nick Stuart and
Sue Carol have the leads. One of the
scenes calls for party in the home of
the wealthy heroine, during which such
dainties as roast turkey, hors d'oeuvres,
cakes and ices are served to the hun
CRY youngsters.
For once these aspirants to film
fame required no direction as to how
to act. They were simply told to act
naturally hungry and they could do it
with my eyes shut" as one little flap
per remarked.

A Screen SHOW Boat. -

INTEREST attaches to the announce
ment that Carl Laemnle, head of the
Universal Film Co., and Florenz zieg-
field have completed an agreement by
which Universal obtains the right to
reproduce in the screen version of Edna
Ferber's SHOW Boat" all of the Ziegfeld
material used in the musical stage Ver-
sion.
The picture version without sound
effects, had already been completed,
Miss F'erber, as a matter of fact, having
contracted for movie presentation OF
her work even before she had any idea
of its operatta potentialities. Under the
recent agreement the whole film is to
be remade with all the songs and
features which made it such a success
in New York and London. Helen Nor
gan will sing two songs, julius Bledsoe
will sing "Old Man River" and one
other, and Aunt Jemima, with a chorus
of 80 Negro voices, will render the theme
song.
Details of the deal between Messrs.
Laemmle and Ziegfeld are spangled with
fabulous sums of money exchanged ut
is revealed that more than $4,000 was
expended in long distance tolls alone
between Los Angeles and Palm Beach,
and statistics on the elaborate plans
being made to create a worthy screen
successor to the popular stage SHOW
Boat"

has the part of Magnolia, Joseph Schild-
kraut playing Ravenal and Otis Harlan

from the chorus to the screen. MISS
Mackaill and Miss Dove are stars; MISS

terial. Dozens Of glorifled girls have

greater or lesser degree. Foremost
anonz them, Of course. is Marion Da-

stardom and has subsequently earned
her position Of prominence.
