new to Cincinnati, but produced
elsewhere, two world prelnieres,
three repeats Gone Of which had
been a world prenliere), four pre-

These plays have enlisted the
services of sixty-four actors, Of
whom twenty-four have played in
New York, seventeen having played
leading parts there and two having
been stars.
Stuart Walker first took his COM
pany to Cincinnati in 1916, after the
great success of his Portmanteau
Theater in New York City. AS a
visiting organization he played six
en- G a G e ments there, presenting
twenty plays of which eighteen had
never been seen there before. In
1922 he returned with his company
and established it as resident in
stitution.
Beginning with 1922, the company
has played seven summers and four
winters a total of 262 weeks, 2,348
performances, 900 plays, 119 new to
Cincinnati, but played elsewhere,
seventeen premieres, eighty -four
played before by other companies,
seventy-four rarely seen outside
New York and London, thirty-three
repeated.
During this period Of residency
the company has used several
hundred actors, 166 have played i'm
portant parts in New York City and
London productions, thirty-six have
had important parts in talking
pictures, seventy-nine have played
actual leads in New York and Lon
don, fourteen have been starred OF
featured in New York and London
eight have played ingenue anc
Juvenile leads, sixteen have played
leading character roles.
This record has seldom If ever
been equalled in the English speak
ing theater by any one company. M
matter where it has played or wha1
its resources have been.
This season closes with plans fol
opening in October, 1881, in full
swing.

CHATTERTON FEATURED
ON INDIANA SCREEN

Ruth Chatterton, who ranks as
one Of the screens foremost
dramatic actresses, is the star of
the new Paramount all-talking
picture, "Unfaithful," which opened
a weeks engagement at the In
diana theater Friday. The films
story was expressly written for Miss
Chatterton by John Van Druten,
noted English dramatist and author
Of the stage play, Young Wood
ley"
"Unfaithful" is set against back
ground Of modern society in Lon
don. 1t presents the star as the
wife of a debonair and popular
English aristocrat who, although
unfaithful to his bride of several
months, prevents her from demand
ing divorce when he confesses
that the "other" woman involved
is her brothers wife.
Miss Chatterton's vain efforts to
find excitement and gayety in the
mad, social world Of London, for
which she is condemned and
slandered by her husbands friends,
and her unusual meeting with an
earnest and sincere artist who first
despiseS and then falls in love with
her, build the story to a dramatic
climax. Paul Lukas, Hungarian
actor who has played opposite Miss
Chatterton in "Anybody's Woman"
and "The Right to Love-" has the
supporting role of the artist.
Direction of "Unfaithful" has
been handled expertly by John
Cromwell, who has been very sue
ceSsful on the talking screen since
he deserted his directorial work on
the legitimate stage. Croswell has
turned out tom Sawyer" Scandal
Sheet" Street of Chance" For
the Defense" and other hits. Be-
sides Lukas and Miss Chatterton.

JUNGLE PICTURE
ARRIVES AT CIRCLE

Range" the thrilling Paramount
picture which opened Friday at the
Circle theater, is the dramatic story
in film of the parallel lives led by
man and apes in the Achin jungles
of Sumatra in the Malay Archi-
pelago.
Their similar struggles for exist
ence and their wary regard OF the
tiger-their common enemy-are
portrayed in story form.
Ali, native tiger hunter; his ten
year-old son, Bin; a grizzled old
orang- outang, named Tua; and his
little young son, Range, are the
chief characters in the plot that is
unfolded. In opposition to these
syrnpathetically presented charac-
tiers are the many perils of the
jungle, with the tiger being shown
as the principal villain Of the story.
Before the main action gets under
way, there is a flve-minute pro-
Iogue that is enacted by a little
boy and his father in an American
home. The child is playing at big
game hunting with a popgun and
Toy tigers. Led on by the questions
of the boy, the father locates the
1ungles of Sumatra on the globe
and then tells the story which is
taken up by the camera. The voice
of the parent continues as an &C
companying monologue while the
events described are being portrayed
on the screen.
Incidentally, the locale is the only
known place in the world where
both tigers and orang- outangs are
found in the same jungleS. In
Africa, one may find orang- outangs
"a tailless, semi-erect, man-like
ape-but there are no tigers; II
India, one may find tigers, but
orang -outangs are absent. In
Sumatra, however, both kinds OF
animals inhabit the, same country
Range" is chiefly concerned with
these animals and with the native
hunters. The picture includes
nevertheless, many views of black
panthers, wildcats, monkeys, py-
thons and other animals.
More than a year was given over
to the ptotographing of the story
by Ernest B. Schoedsack, his wife
and a cameraman. During this
time they lived in the Achin fever
belt almost on the equator in
Sumatra. Besides the heat and the
attendant physical dangers, the
trio of white persons had innumer-
able difficulties In protecting their
film supply from mildew and damp
ness.
In addition, Schoedsack report,
that it often required as many a!
fourteen consecutive days Of watt
ing to obtain a single closeup OF
some animals.
Schoedsack has previously gained
considerable recognition for his
work with Merriam Cooper in the
filming of Chang" Grass" ano
THE Four Feathers"
Dale Young offers an organ sole
entitled "a Radio Novelty" In it
he features Thurston Spangler
vocal soloist. Short audible films
on the surrounding program include
Willie and Eugene Howard in Sim
ply Killing" Nick and Tony in
The Wife of O'Riley" and Para

Red Is at
Indiana
Ballroom
The 'Rumba' Rhythm viii
Be Featured Next
Week.
TNHE Continued popularitY Of the

THE continued popularity of the
l. slow fox trot and tango dances
seems assured by the advent of a
new type Of dance rhythm, accord
ing to Tom Devine, manager of the
Indiana roof ballroom.
The new style Of rhythm, cata-
logued by music publishers as the
"Rumba" effect is being featured
in the local ballroom by Red Cur
It's and his orchestra, who will be
remembered by local radio fans as
one of the WLW radio features dur
ing an engagement which they
recently filled at the Castle Farms,
Cincinnati.
The "Runba" effect produces a
melody which, being distinctly
Cuban in style, offers the perfect
accompaniment for a dangerous fox
trot or tango. It is a direct con-
trast to the Staccato effects Of the
last few seasons which resulted In
the origination of the Charleston,
Black Bottom and various kinds of
"hops."
Among the current musical hits
written in "Rumba" time are Lady,
Play Your Mandolin" THE Peanut
Vendor and Thrill Me-"
Devine continues to entertain his
dance patrons with a mythical trip
around the world, an idea which
he originated last year for their
entertainment. The weeks Soiourn
is in the Emerald Isle.
Green is the predominating color
in the bathrooms decorations and
the frequent display of shamrocks
bespeak the coming of st. Patrick's
day, for the celebration of which
the roof management plans gala
ball.
Red Curtis and his orchestra,
whose engagement in the roof ball
room is a limited one, will offer
suitable musical background, fea-
turing such popular Irish airs as
my Wild Irish Rose" when Irish
Eyes Are Smiling" ireland Must
Be Heaven" Irish Lullaby" and
others.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-03-14

characters are all natural, and that
which transpires rings with realism.
There are but three characters vi
tai to the story. The leading male
portrayal falls to the comedian and
he presents himself in his familiar
tramp getup. OF next importance is
flower girl who is blind; the other
Is an eccentric millionaire.
Three other characters that figure
prominently are the blind girls
grandmother, played by Florence
Lee; the millionaire's butler, por-
trayed by Allen Garcia, and a prize
fighter, enacted by Hank Mann.
A new personality comes to the
screen in Virginia Cherrill, the
leading woman. She portrays the
flower girl.
Harry Myers is the eccentric
millionaire.
There are many surprises in CITY
Lights" and for that reason it would
not be policy to go into full re-
sumo Of the story.
There is no question but that a
scene depicting night in "a prize
fight club is the funniest of all
events ever included in any Chap
lin picture.
1t is understood that Chaplin
worked almost three years making
City Lights" and that the producer
comedian expended $1,500,000 before
he finally completed his work.
Starting today and each day
during the showing Of "City Lights"
extra shows will be given at the
Palace. The theater will open at
$50 each morning Except Sunday,
and will run continuous per-
forrnances with special late
presentation of "City Lights" start
ing at 10:40 p. m. each evening.
An extra added feature of unusual
interest also to be presented at the
Palace is the Metro Goldwyn-Mayer
featurette, "Fisherman's Paradise" a
short film portraying the art of
batting and casting, in which there
are many interesting scenes Of the
sport of angling, humorously ex-
planned during the run of the
picture.
