Movie to
Open at
English's
The Mystery of Life to
Play Week at
EngIiSh'S.

Through a special booking,
English's theater is bringing to In
dianapolis an unusual talking mo-
ton picture which will open
weeks engagement at that theater
Sunday.
This is 1.-THE Mystery of Life"
the picture that was made by Clar-
ence Darrow, the famous Chicago
lawyer and which deals with the
drama of life as envisioned by
the great lawyer and scientist.
Darrow was aided in his first mo-
ton picture venture by DR.. John
Parshley of Smiths college.
THE Mystery of Life" had its
opening at Knoxville, Tenn, only a
few miles from the small Tennessee
town where some years ago Mr..
Darrow fought the late William
Jennings Bryan in a law suit con-
corning the right of a teacher to
teach the theory of evolution in
the schools of that state.
Although Darrow lost the case,
the fame of this trial spread around
the world and was the newspaper
sensation of the time. Knoxville
folks packed the theater.
The picture was then opened in
Dayton, Tenn, right across the
road from the courthouse where the
famous monkey" trial was enacted
Then the picture was moved to
the Chicago loop where it ran for
five consecutive weeks.
barrow Wins
In Chicago barrow had an OPP
portunity to show his fighting spirit
when the censors ordered. pink
ticket for this film, meaning that it,
was for adults only
Mr.. Darrow's feeling towards all
sorts of censorship is we'll known,
and he destirred himself at once,
preparing to go to court in the mat
ter.
However that was not necessary
for the chief of police reviewed the
picture and revoked the pink ticket
order of the censorS.
The Mystery of Life" is said to
contain some of the most unusual
photography ever seen in a motion
picture. Parts of it were made all
over the world and some Of it shows
microscopic life such as the aver
age man and woman never even
dreams of.
Darrow is seen and heard almost
all through the entire picture.

THREE GIRLS
HAVE A BUSY TINE

THE Greeks Had a Word for
Them" That, as a title for the
moving picture which opens at the
Palace today, has been one of the
sensation of the picture year. BY
this time the world knows that
Samuel Goldwyn made it into a
picture out of Zoe Atkins Broadway
play OF last season, that lima Claire,
John Blondell and Madge Evans
play its trio of chorus girls on the
loose.
In the original play the few lines
of dialog which contain the secret
Of the mystery were cut during re-
hearsal and were not reinstated in
the picture adaptation. But after
some hundreds of curious people
had written in to the New York
theater, where it was playing, to
inquire the meaning of the title, Zoe
Atkins herself cleared the matter UP.
The Greeks word for them is
"hetaera," meaning woman-com-
rade. It was the term they used
in Athens odescribe the foreign
ladies with whom the wealthy and
prominent men of old Greece
amused themselves outside family
life.
1t is not surprising that some of
the most famous women in Athe-
MAN history come from among the
hetaerac. Aspasis, the intellectual
leader of her day, the first known
example of the modern woman, was
a hetaera and mistress of the great
Pericles, Phryne, Lais, Horpyellis
were others whose names are still
remembered, where as history
hardly knows the names of the
women to whom the great Atheni-
ans were legally married.
To make sure that the attractive
ness of the modern hetaera is prop
erly brought out, Samuel Goldwyn
selected all blondes for the three
leading roles of "The Greeks Had
a Word for Tim" in the persons
of Ina Claire, Joan Blondell and
Madge Evans.
Others in 1.-THE cast, playing the
millionaires whom these three mer-
ry maids of Broadway pursue, are
Lowell Sherman, David Manners
and Phillips Smalley.
Featurettes comprising the bal
ance of the program include Thelma
Todd and zasu Pitts in their new
est comedy riot entitled ION the
Loose" a Metro Goldwyn- Meyer
Fisherman's Paradise subject, "Pis-
catorial Pleasures" and the latest
release of the Hearst Metrotone
News.

Chapter III
It was a glorious day. Lily
Lou savored its sweetness even
before she opened her eyes.
She lay still, lips family smil-
ing. She was remembering last
night.
Las night she went riding in
Ken Sargent's green Cadillac.
Nothing happened. Just a ride.
A choc malt in a candy shop.
They didn't even talk very
much. Just sat, side by side.
Part of the time he slipped an
arm around her, drove with
one hand. Once he slowed up,
and leaning over suddenly
kissed her.
"Mind?" he asked, laughing
softly.
Course not" she had an
swered lightly.
What's a kiss? Would she
tell him that pain, like fire,
shot all through her, that her
stomach almost turned over, in
side her? Not Lily Lou!
IF I'm crazy enough to
get thrilled just because a boy
kisses me, I'm not going to let
on, anyway" she thought, still
lying there in bed, with her
eyes shut.
First Real Kiss
It was the first time a boy
had kissed her. really kissed
her. The little pecks from the
boys back home didn't count.
Lily Lou felt the thrill shoot
through her again. Did girls
always feel this way about
kisses? Did May, and Bess,
when Raymond and Werner.
The thought of her sisters
and their unromantic husbands,
spoiled it a bit. May who was
always worrying lest she "get
caught" t"-have a baby, she
meant. and Bess who had
three, and drying diapers and
baby's food all over the
house.
Lily Lou wrinkled her nose
and sat up, chasing dreams
and attending realities away.
Anyway, it was time to get
up. She wanted lots Of time
to dress. No use in looking
any more like a trump than
you have to.
May and Raymond were just
finishing breakfast when she
came into the kitchen, hated,
coated. her purse with a new
sport handkerchief peeking out
of it, all ready to leave.
