Policy
Starts on
the Roof
An Old Fashioned Dance
Night Is Announced
by Devine.

A new avenue of entertainment
will be opened to residents of Indi-
annapolis and vicinity when the In
diana roof starting next Thursday,
Dec. 3, introduces an "old-fash-
toned" dance as a weekly feature.
Under the new policy, modern
dancing will be abolished every
Thursday. Instead of the usual
modern dance orchestra, there will
be a string band furnishing old
fashioned dance tunes.
Tom Devine, manager of the roof,
feels confident this type of dancing
will appeal to the younger genera
ton, since it will offer them a
change.
Tuesday night, under the new
ballroom schedule, will replace
Thursday as Ladies Free Night :"
Wednesday and Friday will con-
tinue as waltz" and collegiate
nights. Saturday, also. will con-
tinue under the present policy
which makes it "Mardi GraS Night"
Mary Lou, the personality CIR" "
Slim Green, colored dancer, and

tinue behind the roofs footlightS

Touchdown" the Circle theater
screen feature, takes the audience
from their usual grand stand seat to
the players bench and the dressing
room. The picture tells story that
every football player has kept from
his parents. The hero is not the
average movie hero who dashes
across the line with the winning
touchdown just as the final gun goes
off, but true boy who tastes both
the glory of winning and the bit
terneSS of defeat.
In the numerous football scenes
appear many of the gridiron's great
of the last few years. There are five
al-American players in the lineup.

In the dramatic sacrifice in the
Mexican jail, and in the death
scene in the fight arena, Berry and
che boy rise to mighty dramatic
heights. In the intimate scenes in
the hotel there is a wealth Of Win
steal comedy. Actual races at Cali
ente, the most realistic prize fight
in years, the battle with the Mexi-
can police, all unite in providing
thrills.
Roscoe Ates and Edward Brophy
contribute laughs as the comedy
fight manager and trainer. Irene
plays the rich mother and Hal Ham
i!ton the millionaire second hus-
band. Little Jesse Scott is comical
as Jackies little colored compan-
ion, and Marcia Mae Jones is
Jackies half sister.
Features completing the bill will
include Charlie Chase in his newest
comedy, What a Bozo," and the

COVER THE HILL"
IS NOW A TALKER

over the HILL" Fox special pro-
duction, is the current attraction at
the Apollo where it opened last
night for limited engagement, and
according to reports f1ltering in
from Hollywood it has been de-
scribed as one of the finest human
pictures to reach the screen since
the advent of talkies.
A complete modernized version OF
a classic of American poetry, IL
touches the heartstringS even OF the
most hardened critic. In brief, the
picture is a croSs-Section of a grow
ing family, 1t is overflowing with the
full flavor of life-drama, comedy
and pathos in perfect harmony OF
the human heart.
James Dunn and Sally Eilers, who
made their co-Starrlng debut IN
bad Girl" are seen together again
in over the HILL in the roles OF
romantic Sweethearts. Perhaps the
most astounding of all, however, is
the performance given by Mae
Marsh. who returns to the screen
after twelve years of home life and
motherhood. 1t is said that Miss
Marsh opens the true depths of a
mothers heart for all to see.
Ienry King who has given the
screen such dramatic pictures as
"Stella Dallas" and Merely Mary
Ann" and who also gave us the
highly amusing film, Twenty Three
and a Half Hours Leave" has tried
to combine the pathos and comedy
of his past successes, and insert both
qualities in "Over the HILL
1t has been intimated that
especially deserving credit also must
be given James Kirkwood, DIN
Rowland, Claire Maynard, Edward
Crandall. Eula Guy, Joan Peers and
William Pawley.
Short subjects included on the
program are Trick Plays" a foot
ball reel featuring Notre Dame play
ers and a musical number entitled
BOX Office Blues" Movietone News
rounds out the program.
