Radio Band to
Open Season
Here Tonight
WLW Star to Feature Sup
per Dance Program in
City Club.

Henry Thies and his WLW or
chestra, will open the Indianapolis
Athletic Clubs fall and winter So
cial season with a supper dance, to-
night, beginning at 9 and lasting
until / a. m.
Thies has been obtained to play
the engagement at the club between
contracts at the Crosley studios,
where he has been a regular feature
for the last two years.
During this time, his well-known
elaborate concert arrangements of
popular songs, and his brilliant
dance versions. created from classic
numbers, have placed his band on
the top shelf in musical circles.
As an orchestra leader, Thies
played his first big contract back
in 1914 when he introduced his
musicians at the Hotel Sherman's
College Inn in Chicago.
His fame as a dance band director
spread rapidly and he was put I'M
Ger contract by the Victor Record
ing Company. Thies perhaps has as
many records to his credit as any
other band in the country.
His activities in musical circles
was interrupted in 1921 when he
diSbanded his orchestra and gave
vent to a secret ambition to step out
in business for himself. Turning a
deaf ear to those who had followed
his orchestra and expressed doubt
as to business ability, he bought
himself two restaurants in Detroit.
His two places of business, featur-
ing orchestras, became the hub of
Detroit night life.
However, the musical bug got
back into his skin, and Thies'
thoughts turned again to music and
his old orchestra.
A few months later, Henry dis
posed of his two cafes, reorganized
his band and has been an outstand-
ing figure in the musical world ever
since.

You look exactly like the head matron

Charity WINGED. And once again a
hot, unreasoning anger helped her to
find her tongue. The color mounted
in her face Her. voice shook when
she answered: "It doesn't matter in
the least to me what you think Of my
looks-or myself. Or what you say.
But I'm going to tell you what think
of you and the cheap, rotten trick you
played on me-"
Doug was so surprised he grasped the
arms Of his chair as II ne were going
to stand up. Then he sat back and a
look half Of amusement, half confusion
spread over his face. Charity sat up
very straight.
I'm quite sure I know where you
were last night" she went on. And

interested in you than you are in me.
I have no desire whatsoever to be a
wife to you. But don't see how you
can marry me and start chasing around
with another woman before your
fathers body is cold in the grave"
She stopped. Doug smiled slowly.
But it was a rather sickly smile.
So" he nodded, knowingly, you're
going to try to tell me what to do
and what not to do. That's very in
teresting. But it won't work. I don't
owe you a damn thing. You've got my

what we both wanted. We're even.

Just then Mrs. Muggins came out

Charity stared at the table, her
breath coming hot and short after her

tried to think Of the proper retort. In

BARRYMORE
 DELIGHTED WITH ''2oTH CENTURY"

John Barrymore, distinguished member of Broadway's Royal Fam fly, reveals a rare genius as a comedian in the role of the tenn peramental producer, Oscar Jaffe, in Columbia's '20th Century" which opened last night at the Capitol Theatre.
 In comeoy as fast as it's title, Barrymore proves a delft farceur, the like of which has seldom been equalled on stage or screen. Armed by the brilliant dialogue and up- roarious situations concocted by Charles Macarthur and Ben Hecht, authors of '"The Front Page Bar rymore rises to sublime heights as a comic artist in his understanding characterization of the egocentric, eccentric impresario.
 The net effect of this celebrated collaboration is one of the most up- roarious screen comedies since Two Arabian Knights" It is hilarious fun from start to finish and a screen delight that no Barrymore fan will want to miss.
 The comedy in the picture lies not only in farcical and hilarious situations but in the consummate acting of Barrymore and his sup porting cast. Chief among these is Carole Lombard in the character of the actress, Lily Garland, and running her a close second is Ros- COG Karns as O'Malley, Jaffe's drunken press agent. Walter Con nolly ranks with him as Webb, Jaffe's. conscientious and long suf- fering business manager. Etienne Girardot plays the role of Clark, the lunatic Ralph Forbes is the lover, with Charles Levison as the rival producer.

DOUBLE BILL PRESENTED AT
 THE UPT0WN N

Heralded by critics as the most astounding adventure picture ever filmed, Eat Elm Alive Harold Austin's latest production, promis- es to provide some astounding thrills. After two years on the des- erts of Texas, Nevada and Ari- zona, Austin returned to Hollywood with several hundred thousand feet of film, depicting e-and-death battles of snakes, gila monsters, desert rats, fitches, gigantic turtles, rattle shakes, king snakes, and al- most every other wild animal of the desert.
 Other adventure films have show animals in mortal combat, but, ac- cording to reports, no other pie, ture has ever shown these thrilling fights in such complete detail, nor in such closeup action. One of the highlights of the picture, living up to it's gruesome title, actually shows a king snake conquering a side winder rattle snake and devouring him whole before his victim has died. This fight, the first of it's kind ever filmed, is shown from start to finish without a break in the action. MT. Austin is, of course, the first person to photograph such fight, and he is believed, also, to be the first person to witness one.
 Eat Elm Alive" promising one full hour of unbelievable action, will be presented at the Uptown Theatre for three days, beginning tonight. A descriptive talk pre- pared under the supervision of MT. Austin, accompanies the picture.
