COMEDY HOLDS
FORTH AT PALACE

Comedy week, for that is what
1t may rightfully be termed. is
holding forth at Loew's Palace. and
for this rush of hilarity, Loews is
Offering THE Passionate Plumber
with Buster Keaton, Jimmy
"Schnozzle" Durante and Polly
Moran, and the latest Laurel and
Hardy comedy, ANY Old Port"
Keaton has the role of the awk-
ward plumber, Elmer Tuttle, who
becomes involved in the romantic
affairs of the tempestuous Patricia
Alden, when he calls at her apart
ment to repair leaky bathroom
fixture.
Circumstances bring about a
unique agreement in which the
plumber binds himself to prevent
Patricia from seeing Tony, hand
some gigolo to whom she is drawn
against her better Judgment for she
believes him to be married to a
Spanish vixen named Nina.
The ingenuity by which the dis
traught Patricia attempts to break
her agreement and the equal clev-
erness with which Elmer makes her
live up to it, is said to result in a
comedy every reel of which boasts
a side-splitting situation.
Some of Elmer'S most amusing
plumbers include an episode in
which he gets a surprise shower
bath, his appearance clad only in a
towel and consequent interruption
of love scene between Patricia and
Tony, his madcap duel with Tony
and his fake suicide stunt by which
he gains admittance into an exclu-
sive gambling casino, only to start
a riot.
In ANY Old Port" Laurel and
Hardy portray roles of a pair of salt
sea tars, whose difficulties start with
their attempt to break up a wedding
between rough and tough lad and
timid girl.
Other novelties, comprising the
balance of the program, include a
Silly symphony cartoon, the latest
issue of the Hearst Metrotone News
and visions of New York as it is to-
day.

Josef Rosenblatt, who makes an
exclusive appearance in Indianap-
oils, at Temple Beth El-Zedeck
Thirty-fourth and Ruckle streets
on Sunday, April 3, at 8:15 p. M.
thus celebrates four decades OF
song, in which he has given hun
dredS of sacred concerts and con-
Quoted religious services in the
four corners of the world.
The great cantor has been
acclaimed not only for his rare
musicianship, but also for those
characteristics that have stamped
him as a man of principle and con-
viction.
For during his years of activity
he has never made a single con-
cession to Marnmon, nor violated
by an iota his religious convictions
or the requirements of his church'S
ritual.
The opera has sought vainly to
seduce him with stellar roles anC
fabulous retainers. It was ready tc

mario, VINO promptly steals her
heart. They marry and for a time
Buster revels in the remuneration OF
her hopes and submerges her former
ambitions in her love for her hus-
band.
But Wallie turns out TO be a
ne'er-do-well, lovable yet unde-
pendable, earning his precarious liv-
ing by gambling. Hardly is the
honeymoon over when Buster dis
covers his nefarious occupation. Her
great trust in him naturally lessons
as he makes and breaks promises to
work and to refrain from gambling.
A bitter quarrel sends WalIie to
distant city without Buster. Alone,
with dwindling funds and expecting
baby, she resorts to his practice
by placing her last cent on a horse
because its name was Baby Mine.
At this point an interesting cli-
max is reached in the film that is
thought to leave the spectator
rather overwhelmed with Joy. The
comedy situations are handled by
Winnie Lightner and Guy Kibbe in
roles of unappreciated sweethearts.
Norman Foster, Indiana boy, is
seen as the young husband. Other
important roles are handled by
Dorothy Burgess, James Ellison,
Polly Walters and Mae Madison.
Ray Enright directed. Short sub
1ects round out the program.

THE WISER SEX"
NOW AT CIRCLE

Drama of the thoroughly modern
type is The Wiser Sex Par
amounts talking edition of Clyde
Fitchs play, Her Confessions, .
which is the center of attraction of
the Circle theater's current film bill.
Claudette Colbert, sometimes re-
ferred to as the most unscan-
dalized" beauty of the films. and
well-remembered for her perform
ances in "Manslaughter," Secrets
of a Secretary" and The Smiling
Lieutenant" is featured in this new
picture offering with Melvyn Doug
las, a young stage thespian who
made his photoplay debut with
Gloria Swanson in Tonight or
Never"
Others in the cast include Lillian
Eastman, William Boyd, Effie
Shannon, Ross Alexander, Franchot
Tone, and Douglas Dumbrille. The
direction is by Berthold Viertel.
The Wiser Sex brings Miss Col
bert to the screen as a lady of
luxurious means, who gives up an
European play tour to come to the
rescue OF Douglas. Douglas, who
neglects his love duties to wash up
an underworld blot on his city, has
been prettily framed into murder
charge through the untender
gestures of Boyd and Miss fash
man, a former showgirl friend.
Action, displayed in drama and
thrills, is carried through the
climax, in which Miss Colbert,
obviously doomed for her 'last ride"
neatly tr-ns the tables on the
brains" of the racketeer element.
Comedy predominates the Circles
short subject program, with an
organ solo and a news reel adding
variety to the entertainment.

MOVIE COMEDY
OPENS AT THE LYRIC

Zasu Pitts, who has been called
both the screens most talented
coincidence and tragedienne, has
been teamed with Slim Summer
vile in Universal's new feature
length comedy drama, The IN
expected Father" which opens to-
day at the Lyric.
1t was popular demand that
elevated the tall, lanky Slim Sum
merville, who portrayed Tjaden of
All Quiet on the Western Front
and the playful marine who
virtually every theater-go prompt
ly recognizes to feature picture
Stardom, and it, probably, was a
happy thought to team him with
the wistful-eyed Zasu Pitts.
The story of THE Unexpected
Father" is reported to be clean, and
wholesome entertainment.
The child played by Hollywood's
newest baby find" Cora Sue Col
Inns, plays havoc with the scheduled
marriage of the bachelor to a
scheming gold digger, while the
nurse from the dog hospital, played
by zazu Pitts, is created, quite by
mistake, by the millionaire to quell
the confusion.
Dale Van Every wrote the screen
play and M. Lief and Robert Keith
added the dialog. Thornton Free
land, who filmed "Whoopee," di-
rected. Dorothy Christy, Claude Nc
AlliSter, Allison Skipworth, Grace
Hampton, Tyrell Davis and Ton
O'Brien complete the cast.
In addition to this feature pic

S625,0)O PROVIDED
FOR REMERGENCY AID
Sum Is Written Into D. c.
Relief Bill for First Six
Months of 1888.

At the first meeting Of the subcom-
mittee to mark up the deficiency appro-
priation bills since hearings were con-
cluded an item OF S625,OOO for emer-
gency relief through the Public Welfare
Bureau in the District for the first six
months of the coming calendar year
was written into the bill
The subcommittee, headed by Chair
man Byrns. decided that only one-half
of the S1.250,000 recommended by the
Budget Bureau and the President for
coming calendar year could be placed
as deficiency and that the other half
must be considered when hearings are
held on the regular District appropri-
alton bill for the fiscal year beginning
July next.
Interviews with members of the sub
committee, with members of the APP
preparations Committee and member
ship on both sides of the House today
indicated that there is no serious OBJ
lection to granting the full amount of
S1.250,00O recommended by the Presi-
dent and the Budget Bureau.
The subcommittee drafting the de-
ficiency bill and other members of the
Appropriations Committee do not feel
that they would be justified in increas-
ing the amount above s1,250,000 to
s1.5OO,OOO which was the estimate first
submitted by the Public Welfare Bu-
reau and which resolution adopted by
the Monday Evening Club presented
during the hearings asked should be
allowed.
