AT OHIO

Richard Arlen is the star of the
Paramount all-talking film entitled
"The Conquering Horde" which
opens its first engagement in Indi-
annapolis Saturday at the Ohio the
alter. Fay Wray, Claude Gilling-
water, Ian Maclaren and Arthur
Stone are in the supporting cast of
players. Direction is by Edward
Sloman. The picture is based on
North of So" a noval by Emerson
Hough, noted author of "The Gov
cred Wagon" Grover Jones and
William Slavens NTcNutt handled
the adaptation to the screen.
The story concerns the days just
after the Civil war when cattle
raisers in Texas were land poor and
when INSCRIPTIONS and plotting
'carpet-baggers" were forcing the
Texans to sell their property at
fabulously low prices. Fay Wray
is seen as the proprietress of one of
the most desirable ranch properties
in northwest Texas. She has a fine
and large herd of cattle but she
can not convert it into cash because
there is no way of getting the an
imals to the rich eastern markets.
Into this situation comes Richard
Arien, her childhood sweetheart,
estranged from her because as a
West Pointer he had chosen to fight
with the North during the Civil war.
Arlen volunteers to lead her herd
across trail with which he is IA
miliar to the nearest railroad point
at Abilene, Kan, many miles away.
Throughout the trip the girl sus-
poets him Of plotting with the
'carpet-baggers." She is unaware
of the fact that he is a secret gov
eminent agent sent to Texas to
investigate the crooked activities of
those INSCRIPTIONS men. Armed
encounters with the rival forces
and with Comanche Indians lead
to the films climax.
A news reels, an animated caf-
toon named THE Milkman," and
a talking comedy film entitled
Keeping Company" are among the
short subjects on the supplement
tary program at the Ohio for the
week.

"The Road to
 Singapore'- e'-State
William Powell Cast in Glam0rOus Mel0drama
 of the Tropics
"The Road to Singapore" which

"The Road to Singapore, which opened this afternoon at the Warn CT Bros. State theater with William Powell in the starring role, IS 2 darkly glamorous melodrama or inc tropics which gives the actor ample opportunity to display ms unique talents. n
 Powell is past master in the subtle art of making imperfect characters interesting and sympa- thetic. A less able actor would moi have dared play the role Of Hugh Dawltry in a story dealing so frankly with fundamentals, but III his experienced hands the picture turns out to be one of the hlgn spots of the current season.
 Set in Khota in Ceylon ana played with an accompaniment oI tom-toms and weird native ceremonials, "The Road to Sing. apore" is the story of the way oI two men with one woman. pr March, played with exceptional skill by Louis Calhern, a new re cruit in pictures from the New York stage, brings his bride to the tropical settlement and promptly proceeds to neglect her in the rush of his professional duties.
 Smarting under this inattentlon and spurred on by the tropical in tensity of the life about her, Phil ippa the bride, played by Doris Kenyon finds solace, in the person of Hugh Dawltry, the colony.'s ne'er-do-well, who has previously proved himself as fascinating to women as he is objectionable to men.
 what eventually comes from this situation is the story twist which prevents "The Road to Singapore from even bordering on ordinary entertainment. The picture is elab- orately staged and extravagantiy produced. The cast includes sucn favorites as Marian Marsh, Alison Skipworth, Lumsden Hare and Douglas Gerard, as well as the principals mentioned above.
 Miss Kenyon proves to be love- Her with each succeeding appear
