COOPER MOVIE
OPENS AT OHIO.

Fighting Caravans" Paramount
production Of the famous Zane Grey
novel, opened at the Ohio today for
it's first indianapolis showing. Gary
Cooper has the leading role, while
Lily Damita plays opposite him.
This novel, considered to be one
of Zane Grey's best, has the I'M
developed and uncivilized west as
its background and is one of the
most costly films Paramount has
made this season..
In addition to Gary Cooper and
Lily Damita, the cast also has such
names as Ernest Terrence, Fred
Kohler, Tully Marshall and Eugene
Palette.
Gary Cooper has the famous role
of Clint Belmet, one of the am
bilious youths who is anxious to
help open up the west. Lilly Damita
is seen as the little French girl,
Felice.
AT the opening Of the story Felice
is seen coming to the apparent
rescue of Belmet, who has been ar
rested. She pleads that he is her
husband for the sole purpose of OBJ
tanning his freedom, and to carry out
the deception they are compelled to
appear as man and wife when with
other people
When Belmet tries to take ad-
vantage of his position, however.
trouble follows and Ieadc +O q c1i,,,o -,
that has action galore. The Indian
battle in Fighting Caravans" is
considered by several directors to be
one OF the best action sequences in
several years. Likewise, the river fire
scene is one of the most spectacular
shots of the season.
One of the short subjects on the
bill this week is Stars of Yester-
DAY, featurette which has been at
tracing so much comment wherever
1t is shown.

ROGERS MOVIE
REMAINS AT APOLLO

VIII Rogers, famous wit and hui
morist, will appear on the Apollo
theater screen for the second week,
starting today, in the modernized
version Of Mark Twains famous
satire, "a Connecticut Yankee. .
The Twain story has been regarded
as one of the great American clas-
sizes and Fox Films selected Rogers
to portray the leading role of the
screen adaptation of the story.
In this version Rogers starts out
as a small town radio dealer. He
delivers a battery to mysterious
mansion one stormy night. The
owner Of the house hopes to tune in
on sound waves that have been
floating around in the ether since
the beginning Of time.
He tunes in on what appears to
be King Arthur's Court of the sixth
century. There is a terrific flash
of lightning and Rogers wakes up
in the middle of the round table.
He narrowly escapes death at the
hands of his captors and then,
through his Yankee wit, becomes
the big shot of Camelot and is
dubbed "Sir Boss"
He introduces many novel i'm
provements nthe realm Of King Ar
thur, and by doing so wins the dis
favor of Sir Sagramour, leading
knight of the court. They enter
the tournament bitter enemies and
Rogers springs a surprise that gives
ample excuse for many hilarious
moments.
Rogers is surrounded by ca
pable cast, including William Far
mum, Myrna 10y, Maureen O'Sul-
Ivan and Frank Albertson. Short
subjects round out the program.

people of our city.
will admit that the doors were closed
last evening to the public. I understand
that the reason for that was because
every seat was sold. l know personally
that more tickets could have been sold,
but where could the purchasers Of the
tickets be placed? Surely not in some
one else'S seat. Unfortunately our city
does not have a suitable hall large enough
to care for large audience.
I fully believe that when the public
wants the Mendelssohn choir to the eX-
tent Of supporting it. every member will
rise as one ready for the occasion.
If I am mistaken in any Of the above
remarks I stand corrected, still feeling
that your article is misleading, in that It
gives to the public an impression that the
Mendelssohn choir does not care to serve
es a civic organization.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-04-11


After seeing so many vacant
seats for this concert, I took the po-
sition that it is deplorable that the
choir was presented by the Civic
Music Association because the doors
we're closed to those who were not
members Of the Civic Music organi-
zation.
I stated that I had many tele-
phone calls from people who are not
members of the Civic Music Asso-
citation asking me how they could
get tickets. I knew no way except to
become season members of the
Civic.
But the fact is that there were
many vacant seats, especially on the
second floor.
The letter of Mr.. Hogue is as fol-
lows:
I just finished reading your comments
in The Indianapolis Times which has ref
erence to the concert given last evening
by the. Mendelssohn choir and soloists. The
following comments are given as per-
up in ' any way t with the Mendeissohn
choir. believe that if you were thor
oughly familiar with the choir anG knew
more of the difficulties under which it
has operated in the past you might I'M
derstand differently. Having been an
active member of the choir since its early
days.. I believe I can give information
valuable.
In days past the members of the choir
have been obliged to sell tickets for each
concert or yearly membership. This
was found to be a hard task. The energy
which should have been spent preparing
the program was given to selling tickets
to a public lacking in musical intelligence.
Our concert this year was better than in
times past due to the fact that all energy
was given to preparation Of music. I say
frankly that the hardest Job had was
not in preparing my music, but in selling
tickets. Our city did not care for the
Mendeissohn choir to the extent of sup
porting it, hence a way out. The Civic
Music Association was the way out. Why
not sell our services to the association,
sing to a larger audience and have no
tickets to sell? Why have all the disap
pointments and disbursements when It
is so unnecessary?
The Mendelssohn choir is made up Of
selected voices, chosen individually from
choirs, Quartets, ETC., and includes the
best to be found in this city. Preparation
covers a period OF ten weeks. Choir mem
bers pay a fee to get to sing. Services
are given gratis. It is a civic affair, or
