Old Time
Dances to
Be Held
Frank Terry and His Band
Are Now Playing on
the Roof.

Old time dancing, a successful
Thursday night feature on the In
diana roof ballroom, discontinued
during the last two weeks because of
the intervention of Christmas and
New Years ewes. is to be again
adopted by the roof as weekly
feature starting next Thursday eve
ming.
Old time string orchestraS will
furnish music for the dances, which
will include square dances, circle
two-steps, fox trots and waltzes,
quadrilles, schottisches and hoe
downs.
Tuesday continues as ladies' night
in the ballroom. Every lady attend
ing is admitted without charge at
any time during the evening.
Frank Terry and his Ginger
Snaps who opened a limited en-
gagement on the roof New Years
eve, are playing new and old pop
ular tunes.
Terry, who is a graduate of the
Chicago Conservatory of Music, and
the composer of a number of dance
melodies, includes several of his
compositions on each nights pro-
gram.
Contrary to popular belief that
colored orchestraS must be fast and
hot, is Terry's style. He renders his
sweet arrangements in a manner
equally as pleasing as his numbers
of the Tiger Rag" type.
The Ginger Snaps came here
from Cleveland, O., where they are
house band at the Recreation Music
Box.

gaiety, and where she can do some
thing to accomplish her ambitions.
How she achieves her purpose,
overcoming age-old prejudices and
stubborn opposition, is as interest
ing as it is thrilling and makes a
play that deity combines sentiment
and romance, laughter and tears;
the epic of all the women of the
world who have never had a chance
to do the things that down in the
depths of their hearts they most
wanted to do.
Margery Williams and Philip
Brandon will have the leading roles
in What Woman Wants." Their
support will include Bob Fay, Mil
ton Byron, Beatrice Leiblee. Will
liam j. Maloney, Margaret O'Brien,

BERKELL TO GIVE
A PLAY NEW HERE

AS it is more or less an accepted
fact that the modern woman, like
her sister of other years, hardly ever
knows just exactlf what she wants,
and no one understands this fact
better than women themselves, they
will undoubtedly be greatly inter-
ested in the play which the Berkell
players will present at Keith's next
week, starting Sunday night, which
is titled What Woman Wants. y
1t is from the prolific pen of De
Witt Newing who wrote 1.-THE Rose
of Picardy," THE Circus Lady,"
Love of Molly Malone" and other
Broadway hits.
The story is that of young wom-
an who has lived a life of suppress
sion, denied youth, beauty and hap
piness: dominated by elders and
brought up in the seclusion of a lit
tie New England village. In time
she rebels against her environment
and seeks a place in the world
where women love and men fight;
where there is singing, dancing and

a year has made name for her
self, known to theatergoers all over
the world, appears in her first STAR
ring vehicle, Under Eighteen"
which is new 1882 Warner

befriends her, after their first meet
ing, but succeeds in getting himself
thoroughly misunderstood shortly
thereafter by his attention to another
girl.
Everything comes out happily in

GERMAN STAR
HEADS INDIANA PICTURE

The Indiana theater Is currently
Offering a film treat Of more than
usual interest to local theater goers.
1t is the first starring vehicle to be
produced in this country for the
famous German actress, Lii Dag
over, and is titled "The Woman
From Monte Carlo"
1t was at the foreign stars special
request, that this picture was given
the Indiana theater for one of the
first American Showings. The In
diana's showing of 1.-THE Woman
From Monte Carlo" is of the same
date as the New York world pre-
miere engagement
Miss Dagover herself made this
request because of the extraordinary
reception which was accorded her
last September in Indianapolis,
where the Governor of the state,
the mayor of the city and many
other officials turned out to greet
her upon her arrival by plane. She
was then en- route to Hollywood to
commence work on "The Woman
From Monte Carlo" Miss Dagover
is perhaps better known in Indiana
than in any other state in the coun-
try, due to this personal visit, and
her extensive activities while here.
THE Woman From Monte Carlo"
tells story of foreign love and
intrigue that moves against COL
orful background of gay life and
adventure. Walter Huston, Warren
William, John Wray, George E.
Stone, Robert Warwick and Oscar
APPEL appear in support of the star.

maurice, who scored with the Nor

Miss Carlo, in the title role, plays
the exotic Mata Hari, whose no.
torious career as dancer and wom-
an of many affairs is but cover
for her nefarious activities as a
spy for the German government.
A young Russian fIier, in charge
Of secret documents (Novarro), be-
comes infatuated with the dancer,
who trades upon his love in an eff
fort to obtain the valuable papers.
This time, however, Mata Hari is
carried beyond her cold blooded
schemes, for she falls in love with
the lieutenant and consequently
Jeopardizes her position with the
espionage agents.
In an effort to protect the man
she loves, Mata Hari commits a
murder which, after a sensational
trial, results in her being sentenced
to face firing squad Much of the
story is based on authentic details
of the life of the famous World war
spy whose activities made prominent
front-page material for newspapers
throughout the world.

THRILLER NOW
AT THE CIRCLE

The current program at the Cir
Gle features Or Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde" with Fredric March, Miriam
Hopkins and Rose Hobart on the
screen, and a special stage presen-
tation titled "WKBF Radio Revels."
Paramount's film version of Or.
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" is filled with
weird sounds, swooping cameras,
crawling lights, ETC., which took
months of toll and experiment to
perfect, but the most difficult prob
lem encountered in production of
the picture was connection of the
potion which Frederic March drinks
to effect his transition from Jekyll
to Hyde.
March was required to drink
something which looked capable of
changing the lovable doctor into
the hideous monster many times
during production, so many times,
in fact, that even such a mild con-
coction as bromo seltzer or bicar-
Donate of soda would have made I'M
pleasant results. Moreover, such
fizzing liquids would not have pro-
duced a sufficiently horrible effect.
For that reason a chemist was
called into consultation with Di-
rector Reuben Mamoulian. The re-
suit was a potion which filed the
bill. AS the ingredients were mixed
it dubbed, foamed. smoked, changed
to red and green, then black, and
finally resumed transparency. De-
spite this action, it was not obnox-
ious to taste and was harmless.
However" reports March, who
imbibed about a gallon of the stuff
during the eight weeks of produc-
ton, at will never replace coffee as
a national drink, 1 can assure you"
The stage portion of the Circles
program, "WKBF Radio Revels," is
a variety frolic featuring several Of
the more popular local radio stars.
Connie and his band headline the
entertainers. Additional talent on
the bill includes Harry Bason, won
der pianist; the Three Rhythm
Boys, novelty entertainers; Vaughn
Cornish, barytone: the Wa-Da Trio,
harmony blenders, and others.
Bromley House appears on this pro-
gram as master of ceremonies.
