Demand Grows
for Stage Plays
Hollywood Producers Pay
Higher Prices.
By EA Seruice

~ " IN ttCG
NEW YORK, Nov. Play
wrights fortunate enough to see
their brain children" reach Broad
way this year have every reason to
believe that golden harvest lies
just around the corner.
Not since the 1929-30 season,
when motion picture executives were
grabbing every stage vehicle in sight
for the newly born talkies, has
the legitimate theater as a source
Hollywood shown such interest in
for screen material.
According to announcement just
made here by Will Hays, movie car,
forty-nine of the pictures to be
made or released this winter will be
based upon stage plays. And this
number probably will be increased
considerably by Jan. l..
Quite a few stage shows already
have been completed or now are in
production III Hollywood'S studios.
Among these are Little Minister"
which stars Katharine Hepburn;
Biography" which co-stars Ann
Harding and Robert Montgomery;
What Every Woman Knows" with
Helen Hayes as the star; big
Hearted Herbert" made as DANES"
with Dick Powell, Ruby Keller, Joan
Blondell, Hugh Herbert and Guy
Kibbee in the top spots.
Others already scheduled for
production are Cardinal Richelieu,"
The County Chairman" False
Dreams Farewell" 1.-The Human
Side" mo More Ladies'" Her Mas
ter's Voice." and The Good Fairy"
Film executives also are scanning
every new show which opens here,
even those which run only a week or
less being considered as possible
screen material.
In fact, interest in the new shows
has been so intense that authors are
asking $3.50 for the screen rights
even to "flopS." And apparently the
sky is the limit on successful plays.

Apparently, indianapolis theater-
goers did not receive their fill of the
popular photoplay, The Count OF
Monte Cristo," which has been re-
turned to- the screen of the Apollo
theater for a second weeks show
ing.
This move on the part of the
Apollo management is said to be the
result of having received many in
quirieS as to why the picture was
not held for the second week, upon
its original showing. AT that par
ticular time, it is reported, the Will
Rogers picture, Judge Priest" had
been definitely booked and the cir
cumStances could not be altered.

enjoyed by millions for over a GEN.
fury, Harry M. Goetz and Edward
Small are said to have given the
ageleSS romance a million dollar
production, and the sensational
young English find" Robert Donat,
brought to America to play the title
role, more than justifies the faith
shown in him by Reliance pictures.
the producers.
Donat was selected to play his role
after practically every male star in
Hollywood had been considered, ac-
cording to reports. Young, ex-
tremely handsome, charming and
splendid actor, Donat is thought to
have everything necessary to make
him and keep him the new favorite
among male film stars.
The thrilling story of Edmond
DanteS, hero of the Alexandra
Dumas classic, presents the young
Frenchman torn from his sweet
hearts arms by his enemies and
unjustly imprisoned and left to rot
in the grim Chateau diff. The part
is said to be made to order for
Donat. And ELISA Landi is thought
to be ideally cast as the girl Mer-
cedeS.
How, when Dantes has lost hope
of ever seeing daylight again, the
sage, old Able Faria who occupies
the next cell, tells him of a secret
treasure buried on the Island of
Monte Cristo, and educates him SO
that when he finally escapes he may
face the world a Superman; how,
Dantes escapes, following the good
Abbe'S death, locates the treasure,
and returns wealthy man to visit
a slow and sweet revenge on each
of his three enemies responsible for
his misery, is perhaps too well
known to require re-telling.

Age Of Innocence Classed
as Story Of Unusual Beauty

Women" and in bringing to life on
the screen a fiction classic replete
with romance and drama, THE Age
of Innocence" is accredited by crit
les as one of the outstanding pro-
auctions of the year.

With Irene Dunn and John BoleS
in the leading roles, Edith Whar-
tons famous novel, The Age of In
nocence," now at the Indiana, comes
to the screen as an emotional ro-
nance which is said to be one of
extraordinary poignance and beauty.
Acclaimed as one of the real claS-
sizes of American literature, the
story treats of the convention-rid-
den mid Victorian era and has as
it's central characters members of
the bIue-blooded society of New
York.
A best seller of 1920, the novel
was awarded the Pulitzer prize that
year and received a storm of crit
ical applause. 1t was later adapted
for the stage and enjoyed a brilliant
run on Broadway.
AS produced by RKO-Radio Pic
lures, the film is said to capture
the spirit and beauty of the book
automatically, and to bring out in
powerful fashion those qualities
which have made the story one of
the most widely discussed Of the
generation.
Considered by cinema circles as
boon to the dramatic and artistic
qualities of the story is the fact
that Philip Moeller, production di-
rector of the New York Theater
Guild, directed it.
Included in the strong cast sup
porting Miss Dunno and Boles are
five noted players of the guild
Helen Wesley, a founder member
and managing director of the or
ganization; Lionel Atwill, Laura
Hope Crews, Herbert YoSt and
Edith Van Cleve.
Blonde Julie Hayden is seen as
the third member of the triangle
around which the romantic compli-
cations of the picture revolve.
She is said to have an intriguing
role as a typical sweet clinging vine

>BundIing' Will
Be InterestinQ
Film Feature
Paramount Picture to Be
Shown at Indiana Reveals
Custom.

Like repeal, Americans first
brought "bundling" upon them
selves because they tried to pro-
hibit it.
That, at least, was one reason for
the rise of the practice that made
it proper for young lovers to do
their counting on the cold winter
nights in bed, amply protected by
bags tied with drawstring and
spiked center-board tc keep them
apart.
The quaint custom of "bundling"
is the subject of the famous Broad
way stage success, THE Pursuit of
Happiness" by Lawrence Langner
and Armina Marshall, which has
been made into a motion picture
by Paramount, starring Francis
Lederer, coming soon to the Indi-
ana.
Followed Flirting Ban
In the traditional manner, the
Puritan fathers leaned over back
wards to put an end to the inno-
cent paStime of flirting-and bum
ding resulted. In Massachusetts,,
the Puritans found filtration SO
prevalent among the younger set
that they quickly enacted a law to
curb unauthorized counting.
Whereas it is a common practice
in diverse places" the law of l647
declared, "for young men irregular
ly and disorderly to watch all adj
vantageS for their evil purposes, to
insinuate into the affections of
young maidens by coming to them
in places and seasons unknown to
their parents for such ends, where
by much evil has grown amongst us,
to the dishonor of God and dam
ages of parties :"
Jail Term Provided
The penalty for not asking papa's
permission was fine for the first
offenSe, heavier fine for the Sec
ond offense, and stiff Jail sentence
for the young man who would not
give up the practice.
In Connecticut, too, it was for
hidden by law "to inveigle or draw
the affections of any maid without
proper permission" by speech,
writing, message, company-keeping,
unnecessary familiarity, disorderly
night meetings, sinful dalliance,
gifts"
Do Bundling at Home
'Bundling," carefully supervised
by papa and mama, was the natural
result of such prohibitions. Rather
than permit Sarah, Prudence, Char
ity, Joy and Faith to meet their boy
friends away from home without
permission" father and mother re-
membered the bundling bed of Eng
land, Scotland and Wales.
The next time Jacob came around,
he and his maid were put to bed,
thus saving fuel during the long
hours of the courtShip. Each was
tied in a bundling bag with draw
strings at the neck and knees and
centerboard kept the two apart.
Joan Bennett, Charlie Ruggles
and Mary Boland are featured in
the cast of THE Pursuit of Happi-
ness" which was directed by Alex
ander Hall.

DLAIDS to the right, plaids to
4 the left, plaids everywhere in the
autumn style pageant, did one ever
see so many plaids as are Haunting
their gay colors and bold patternings
throughout fashions realm this sea-
son? Plaids in alluring lightweight
woolens, in smart rayon weaves, stun
ming taffeta plaids and knitted plaids,
too, they are all among "those pres
ent" in the early fall collections with
very special emphasis given them in
the much-featured showings Of campus
fashions.
Evidently, according to the fall style
program, the college girl is supposed to
dine, to dance, to play golf and ten
mis-, to motor, to study and even to
sleep in plaids. Not fiction but fact,
this about sleeping in plaids, for one
college wardrobe is a sleeping and
lounging pajama outfit of gay plaid.
The most practical are made of smart
cotton prints which are styled with
cunningly designed tunics which are
made delightfully."- feminine, with such
dainty details as collar and cuffs Of
scalloped white organdie piped with
the plaid, together with wide sash Of
the plaid material which ties gypsy
fashion in a big romantic bow at one
side.
A leading question put up to the
college girl Is as to whether she will
have her frock, suit or ensemble of all
plaid "alone by ITSELF or shall it be
partly Of plaid and partly Of weave
in solid color. Either or both Is the
answer, for the advance showings pre-
sent as convincing arguments in favor
of one as the other. An outstanding
fashion is the dress which is tailored
of all-plaid with not frill or furbe-
low to mar its sophisticated simplicity.
You see the idea illustrated to the
right in the picture. The girl seated
is also wearing a frock of this type,
in brown and light beige, made in
shirtwaist fashion. The buttons are

BUTCHER BOY BACK"
is MUCH IN FAVOR

Possibly you have never thought Of
your butcher as very stylish person.
Now we have Mainbocher's 'the butch
er boy back" It's a loose back gath
cred from shallow shoulder yoke.
The front of this jacket or tunic,
whichever it happens to be, is belted.
Belted front and unbelted backs are
regarded with favor by all who have
seen this new arrangement. 1t adds
an extra flip to the two-piece cos
tune, which is, as you know, one of
the seasons latest pets. Since SO
many women find difficulty in wear
ing belts well, the partially belted idea
is life saver.
TUNES have long way to go be-
fore they catch up to their reputation.
We've been hearing about tunics con-
sistently, but that's as far as one can
truthfully say the idea has gone.
With the two-piece idea having the
endorsement of the haute couture,
there is every reason to see the tunic
coming In vogue at last.

Of brown braided leather.
The plaid for the dress on the stand
ing figure to the right Is in red, white
and blue and 1t is one of those fash
ionable thin wooden weaves which is
delightsomely lightweight and there
fore pleasing to wear in the class
room. A bright blue belt and scarf
enter attractively into the color scheme.
AS a matter Of fact the two-piece dress
tailored Of plaid Is not only
college girl favorite, for whether you
go to school, to Office or saunter about
town during the shopping hours plaid
frock's the thing this season which in
terprets chic at its smartest.
Tremendously clever things are be-
ing done with plaid plus plain. Such
as the topping of a black velveteen
skirt with striking plaid jacket such
as Is shown in the foreground of the
group. The plaid wool jacket is In
black, green and white with black calf
belt. The modish beret is of green
duvetyn and of course, in answer to
the demand Of present-day millinery

little feather. The blouse, which you
cannot see in the picture, is Of match
ing green duvetyn. An ascot scarf Of
black velveteen adds the finishing
touch to this ensemble.
In the charming autumn costume pic
tured to the left above the order is
reversed in that the skirt is plaid and
the jacket is in the solid color. Here
a dark brown cut-velvet jacket sur
mounts skirt in plaided brown, green
and beige. The turtle-neck blouse is
of green jersey. The color combina-
ton for this costume is noteworthy
since it is typical of the newest trends.
There is disposition on the part Of
designers to combine any number of
rich autumn colors working out eff
fects which flavor of the picturesque
Alpine costumes even to the soft felt
hats with their audacious little quilts
and feathers.
And have you seen the perfectly
stunning velveteen and corduroy prints
done in bold plaids and checks? No
college girl once glimpsing them, will
not be able to resist this temptation.

Collars This Fall to Be
Worn Close to the Throat

Fall collars are something to watch.
Most Of them snug fairly close to the
throat. big pilgrim collars, high roll
collars and wide revers all being seen.
Sleeves on the straighter coats are
often large at the top, while those on
the looser, shorter designs generally
display fullness near the wrist. Belts
are in again, since coats are tapping
well in front, and many late mid-sea-
son model is snugged about the figure
by a narrow belt hardly an inch wide.

Emerald Said to Promote
Friendship, Conquer Sit

The emerald is regarded as an en-
blem of success in love. Its green
color is said to promote friendship and
constancy of mind, while other author
tiles attribute to it the meaning Of i'm
mortality and conquering Of sin, writes
an authority in the Kansas City Star.
Even in the days Of Pliny this stone
was highly esteemed; he wrote of en-
eralds: Neither dim nor shade, nor
yet the light of candle. causes them
to lose their luster."
The fresh color Of emerald was sup
posed to be good for the eyes (bear-
ing out modern optical opinion on the
restful qualities of green), Pliny says.
"There is not a gem or precious stone
that SO fully possesseth the eye, and
yet never contenteth it with safety.
Nay, If the sight hath been wearied
and dimmed by incentive porting upon
anything else. the beholding Of this
stone doth refresh and restore it
again."
The finest emeralds In the rich vel
vet and grass green color come from
the South American republic of Co
lombia, the lighter green emeralds
from Takawaja. Asiatic Russia, and
New South Wales. Among poetical
references are the lovely lines from
Coleridge:
II mark the glow-worm, as pass,
Move with green radiance through the
grass.
An emerald OF Light"
