through winter and summer in the
fortunes they share, they are jolly
trio until disturbed by the advent Of
a young and disturbingly attractive
girl.
One of the lads, suffering from
enlargement of the heart, or some
other ailment, which afterwards
keeps him out of the draft, brings
into the happy household the ador-
able young lady, who has been
haunting theatrical agencies and
slowly starving to death.
The adorable one poses as the sis
ter of her benefactor, and every
thing runs smoothly until two OF
the boys cast their lots with the
forces who are aiding to make the
world safe for democracy. Then
the young lady suddenly leaves for
parts unknown, carrying with her
the coffee can savings of her three
lovesick houSemateS.
The time shifts, but the scenes
do not. Ali three acts have the
same setting-the inside of the
Eighth Avenue snuggery. The boys
have come marching home again.
and it is Christmas Eve.

"ARROWSMITH" is
NOW AT THE PALACE

"Arrowsmith," the masterpiece of
Sinclair Lewis, the only American
novelist ever to win a Nobel prize,
came as a motion picture to the
Palace on Friday, in production
by Samuel Goldwyn, with Ronald
Colman playing the title role Of the
crusading young doctor.
Metropolitan critics have already
hailed "Arrowsmith" as one of the
most important pictures of the year,
and Sinclair Lewis himself after
witnessing it's New York premiere,
acknowledged publicly that it had
succeeded in doing everything he
had tried to do in the book.
Helen Hayes, the stage star, who
recently triumphed in her first
screen appearance in The Sin of
Madelon Claudet," plays opposite
Ronald Colman in the role of the
devoted wife who risks her life for
her husbands career.
Richard Bennett, the stormy Pc
trel of the stage and father of Con-
stance, Joan and Barbara Bennett,
has a major role as Sondelius, the
plague-fghting Swede, and A. E.
Arson, an eminent stage figure
making his motion picture debut,
has another rich character role.
Myrna 10y, Florence Britton,
Claude King, Alec B. Francis take
important parts.
The story of "Arrowsmith" is the
eko,x, OF O,,a ,,oa LaUOtinY1 o19d M
bition in the battle of humanity
against the death-dealing plaques
which have always been the scourge
of mankind. 1t sweeps from the
mid-western countryside to trop-
ical island in the West Indies,
where young DR.. Arrowsmith and
his colleagues go to battle against
the black death.
His relations with the little nurse
he marries as a struggling country
doctor, continuing throughout the
picture, weave a broad current of
romance through its scenes.
"Arrowsmith" as a novel is &C
knowledged by most critics to be
the finest work of Sinclair Lewis,
its author.
John Ford, who has been one of
the best-known directors in motion
pictures ever since he did THE Iron
Horse" directed "Arrowsmith" for
Samuel Goldwyn. 1t was adapted
from the novel by Sidney Howard,
the famous dramatist and winner
Of a Pulitzer prize several years
ago with his They Knew What
They Wanted" as presented by the
New York Theater Guild.
A Mickey Mouse Cartoon, THE
DSlck Hunt" and the newest issue
of the Hearst Metrotone News
complete the program.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-03-05

are to be seen in the leading roles
OF the picture, as the romantic
young SweetheartS whose marriage
is constantly frustrated by the OPP
position of their sentimental and
selfish mothers. Rather than go
against their parents wishes, they
seek emotional relief in a blind trust
in the future. that after tomorrow
life promises to be bright.
Minna Gombell, as the mother of
Miss Nixon, is reported to give a
very convincing performance in a
Characterization that calls for her
to deny love for her own daughter.
This conflict arises from the fact
that she is married to a weak and
Intellectual husband, played by Will
liam Collier ST., who has never
been able to give her the pretties
demanded by her vanity.
Josephine Hull, who created the
role of Ma Piper on the stage.
is seen as Farrell's mother, who also
rejects the contemplated marriage
plan of the two youngsters. The
other roles are portrayed by William
Pawley. Ferdinand Munier and Nora
Lane.

BORIS KARLOFF IN NEW
THRILLER AT CIRCLE

Columbia Pictures new terrify-
ing mystery drama, Behind the
Mask" in which Boris Karloff, who
performed so startling as the
monster in "Frankenstein," has the
title role, is the current screen at
traction at the Circle.
Since his first outstanding talkie
role in 1.-THE Criminal Code" Kar-
loft has become one of the most
important character actors in Holly
wood. His portrayal of the hideous
monster in the recent thriller.
"Frankenstein," was lauded as be-
ing among the most startling and
successful contributions in the field
of horror" transformations. He
follows this with a sinister delinea-
ton in another film of the "shock"
variety, Behind the Mask"
This new film is described as a
thrilling mystery of a flendish,
dreaded figure, who practiced I'M
believable cruelties on those who
opposed him; he is responsible for
a literal reign of terror. AS soon
as any one attempts to interfere
with his dope traffic operations that
person is destroyed in a horrible
inhuman manner.
In addition to Karloff, Jack Holt
and Constance Cummings play lead
ing roles. Holt depicts one of the
srrcre. virile characterizations for
which he is well known. John
Francis Dillon, who made Pagan
Lady" 1.-THE Moose" and THE Fin
ger Points" handled the direction
of Behind the Mask"
A Dessa Byrd organ program; a

DR.. Sigfrid Karg- Ebert, German
composer, came within an ace of
becoming an American musician.
He is now visiting this country for
the first time, realizing lifelong
ambition.
Rated as one of the greatest or
ganist composers in the world to-
day, he is making a transcontinen-
tai tour of the United States and
Canada, playing in Indianapolis on
Monday evening, March T. at the
Tabernacle Presbyterian church.
Though an unqueStioned musical
genius from his earliest childhood,
Karg-Elert was forced to enter a
teachers college from which he ran
away. Determined to follow mu-
steal career he joined a cheap or
chestra. In three years he learned
to play every instrument in the or
chestra. Instead of sleeping during
hours off duty, he would compose.
This period brought forth an
opera, a symphony with choir, a
series of compositions for wind in
struments, and compositions for the
harmonium and organ. Lacking
education, he studied any books on
which he could lay his hands, find
ing particular delight in philosophy.
His imagination and desire for
success drove him to great heights
of ambition. He decided to go to
America.
II r
Charles Berkell has done a good
deal in his years in indianapolis, to-
ward the improvement of the local
theatrical situation.
When it was a hourishiEg affair,
he went ahead steadily, presenting
popular plays at popular prices.
When improvements in play produc-
ton came along, Berkel added
them.
His casts, plays and productions
have adhered to a standard uni
forlnly high. And, in this season of
all seasons, he has dared to bring a
winter stock company to Indianapo-
lis, invest a considerable amount of
money, and hope for success.
Last week there was conference
in Berkell's office which lead to
decision-not momentous in itself,
but indicative of the attention he
pays to detail in considering the
likes and dislikeS of his audiences.
Plays, particularly on their open
ing nights, have a way of running
rather long. Patrons who come to
the theater between 800 and $3.50
may be forced, likely as not, to re-
main at the play the better part of
three hours. And three hours, in
this swift age, seems like a long
time when it is on the tag end of
the evening.
So Bekrell decided that on open
ing nights-when waits between acts
would necessarily be a little longer
